A fantastic extension of the Miyu animation that built upon the previous success of the popular OVA series. With the addition of schoolmate characters that were more fleshed out than the background characters briefly shown in the OVA and the incredibly interesting Miyu foil in the Ice Demoness, the Shinma-Hunting Reiha, and her crusty companion, the Living Doll Matsukaze. Featuring highlights like a two-parter that looks into Western Shinma/Larva's past and some interesting twists and reveals in the final 4 or 5 episodes, the series excels upon adapting more of the Miyu Manga story which the short OVA had less space to adapt the mangawith. Punctuated by more of the fantastic haunting melodies that the OVA had, the shared composer builds upon his previous atmospheric melodies and brings new OST offerings that share much of the oft-creepy but stirring melodies from the OVA music. Added with effective sound designs and creepy cues, the overall atmosphere truly builds upon the darkness inherent in the creepy episodic narratives, fantastic gothic horror!
