Cinematography
Episode 6's limbo battle—pure visual gymnastics.
Direction
Ishihara's playful genre hopping keeps you off-balance.
Score
OST slaps harder than it has any right to.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Episode 6's limbo sequence took 40% of the season's animation budget. Worth it.
The 'phantoms are human imagination' premise riffs on Japanese folklore's blurred spirit-human boundaries, but the show chickened out on its own philosophical setup.
