During a fiercely hot summer in Sotoba, a peaceful and quiet village with a population of 1300 people, a series of bizarre deaths begin to occur. At the same time, a strange family moves into a long abandoned mansion in the region. After supposedly visiting this strange family, the fashionable Shimizu Megumi goes missing and the entire village goes out in search for her.

The lines were sharp, and the colors were almost fluorescent. The art of the animation just didn't look like it fits with a subtle setting and plot like that. Not to mention the crazy hairstyles that almost every relevant character had. The animation would be more fit for shounen anime in my opinion.

The OP got me the first time. It was almost celtic, and goes perfectly with the whole theme. The BGM, it was not intrusive, but yet it'll make you want to jump at times; some even sound like something out of the catholic church, which is awesome due to the ties of religion to vampires;the good thing about it is that they also barely use BGM. The ED is that like something off a romance anime though, but once you get to the later episodes, you will figure out why.
Characters: 8
There were really only 4 main characters in the anime. However, you will definitely tell that EVERYONE is important, even the dead ones. As much as that's a good thing, the downside is that no one really has any room to grow. The viewer really can't see if there is any character progression. However, that really isn't necessary due to the big-picture nature of the plot.

Oricon Communications reports that Evangelion:2.22 You Can Not Advance (Evangelion Shin Gekijōban: Ha) has sold 8,000 more copies during the June 14-20 week to top the Blu-ray Disc sales chart for the fourth week in a row. The only other Blu-ray release to rank #1 on the Japanese chart for four straight weeks was Biohazard: Degeneration (Resident Evil: Degeneration), which was released in late December of 2008.
The second film in Hideaki Anno and Khara's four-film remake of Gainax's Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series has now sold 419,000 copies and continues to be the top Blu-ray release in Japan in the format's short two-year history. (In its first week of sales, the film had already topped the previous record holder, the 351,000 copies of Michael Jackson's This Is It film.)
The official Twitter account for the Angel Beats! television anime series noted on Wednesday that the first Blu-ray Disc volume topped the daily sales chart that was released on Tuesday. According to Aniplex's publicity representative Yuma Takahashi ("Aniplex Yuma"), the first volume has sold over 15,000 copies on Blu-ray and DVD.
