This anime is rather dark and psychological meaning it involves a lot of thinking. If you enjoyed watching death note then this anime is definitely one to watch.
Story: 5/5 The first few episodes tend to leave the viewer with a dazed confused puzzlement. It starts off fast, episode one sets the plot and episode two starts the craziness already. It starts off really fast but slows down in the middle and then picks up extremely fast again. Overall, the story follows two young kids in their development of their "future diaries." Let me say, the plots are always twisting. Its a dark twisted story of survival. Lots of action, thriller, suspense, supernatural, and romance. There's a very dark overall mood in the anime with this overlooming supernatural sense. However, the writers effectively at the same time are able to make the anime relatable to the viewers through a mundane sense of psychology and situations that occur. That being said despite the serious tone set there are moments when the characters seem mundane living their daily lives and when it gets crazy things get messed up fast.
Animation: 5/5 Keep in mind its a rather new anime and very short. The quality is superb and that being said please don't watch for the faint of heart. There's blood, lots of it. It's not super gore heavy but man... when it does get bloody it gets pretty gory. The colors are a tad dark, everything is on the darker side mainly but they do get vivid from time to time.
Voice and Sound: 5/5 Great voicing and sound. Haven't seen the dubbed version (i only watch the subbed). But the voices are perfect for each character and the development. Sound is sweet, and sadly i don't pay attention to the music. But that being said, the music must work perfectly because they never annoyed me.
Overall: 9/10 The anime is superb and very thoughtprovoking. At first the anime seems to be a slasher film but the twists and turns and underlying meaning and themes nags at the viewers mind. It has the action that Death Note was missing and added the dark element that I personally prefer that Code Geass was missing. The story is simple but the best thing about the anime is the development of the main characters. The biggest twist and turns are from the actual characters themselves and once the puzzle is pieced together it is sure to make the viewer go "damn....so thats what happened" Only reason i don't give it a full ten is due to the gaps and holes. The anime picks up way to fast and the ending seems inconclusive (though that is how the manga ends). There could've been a few more episodes to piece the story better. But overall a great short series thats both dark and thought provoking with a little more gore and action than Death Note.
