Personal ratings: 3.5
A very delicate anime. This show is a mystery and thriller at the same time. This show really got me thinking for each and every episode. It may be a bit bloody for some people since at the end there were many killing scenes. Totally loved the story line and how they portray it. I liked how they used the dolls and a comparism to keep us in suspense.
The only thing what was actually keeping all the suspense and curiosity in people is actually the fact that you would not know if some one was going to die, how they are going to die and who was that extra person in the class. I really think that this anime really has some really specific and delicate scenes, and because of that, I really think that people should watch this show as a movie or a one-shot, because by the time you slowly watch, those scenes may be forgotten and it will lessen the suspense and really bring down the anime a little bit.  
What i did not really like about the anime was most probably the part where they tell us who what the extra person. It was like, at the moment, everything was exposed. There was totally no hint or anything to tell us who was this person. I know for mainstream shows, when there is a twist in the anime, they always have this pause there for the viewers to take in what was really going on. But for this anime, the twist was kind of a fail, because when they exposed who was the real person that was dead, they went straight into explaining, which gives the audience so chance of slowly taking in the sudden twist, so that part really killed the whole anime. 
But honestly, this has got to be one of the most shocking and thrilling anime I have ever since in my life. When you least expect it, they come out with the unexpected. 
I really liked how they balanced the whole anime out using the main character. The main character is always seen as someone who is normal, kind and calm. Which is totally opposite from the rest of the class, which gave the whole anime the balance.
