Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and a short run with a modest audience, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, sci-fi fans and animation lovers.
The mood
Tense and unsettling, emotional (bring tissues).
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 9 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-14: scary moments. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

In an isolated region of Kyushu lies the town of Suiten. Though seeming small and modest, Suiten is not a picturesque place for a vacation, unless it is from the “Unseen World”. Taro, Makoto and Masayuki, three boys with traumatic pasts, learn to let their souls cross between the two parallel worlds. However, the Unseen World is no mere copy of the real Apparent World. The Unseen World is the home of ghosts, but changes are now allowing the souls of the dead to pass over into the Apparent World, with unpredictable effects. Follow the journey of Taro, Makoto and Masayuki, as they cross between the two worlds, trying to unravel a great mystery.
