One of the best short story anime's based of the light novel I've seen. It was simulcasting at the same time as attack on titan was and was still hugely popular. Its already in my collection on iTunes.

Starts off strong then loses mojo. Story is rushed. OK characters.

The whole anime was dark, dreary, and made me hurt for each character. But I loved the way it all went together.
