I really liked the Anime so I was quite excited about this show. The premise is the same, but there are quite a few changes, mainly different characters. They made Arata plenty likable (opposed to spineless Yukki) and didn't repeat the flaws from the Anime. So the first few episodes were enjoyable and interesting (though slightly repetitive). Then they strayed so much from the original plot that I started to get confused. It took me some time to accept the huge differences. The last few episodes have nothing to do with the premise anymore, except that it's the same characters. Nevertheless, they made the "new story" work and if you forget about the original solution, this version also makes sense. It's just that I like the original version better (Like usually, haha). I think I would rate this 7 even if I hadn't seen the Anime. Even though there are minor plot holes the story is fine, but it didn't quite pull me in. Sometimes it's really predictable, other times I couldn't predict it at all. The acting is sufficient, but not really that good. Plus, the love story is... it's not that it's unbelievable, but it lacks substance. All in all it was a decent, short watch. If you are a fan of the Anime and not so much fond of huge alterations, you should not watch this. On the other hand, if you watched the Anime and think this will be boring, because you know the ending: be assured it's not like that. If you don't know the Anime/Manga and are looking for some Psychological Mystery, you might as well give this a try.
