Yeah, I know this is a different entry than usual, but I wanted to take the next few journal pages to explain certain parts of this story. It's a horror anime that is known very much for it's intense violence and gore. Though the story goes much, much deeper than that.
The first thing I'll explain is the story behind the anime. Though it seems cloudy and a little repetitive at first, it all has to do with the main plotline. The area is a small town that is cut off from the rest of the world. It's people are kept in line by an old legend of ogres and demons who come and make examples of people during the Watanagushi festival. Though now is a harmless cotton drifting tradition was once a gruesome sight to behold. The three families who control the supposed demon spirit called Oyashi-sama, are kind of like the village elders and help to support the town. The school, one of the area's only real government facilities, has one classroom. It holds and supports all the kids and grades from kindergarten to seniors in high school. There is where the story begins with five friends in the recreational games club.
Next, I'll explain the main character and his woes...
