This Week in Anime
A practically impenetrable horror anthology, Boogiepop Phantom premiered nearly two decades before Boogiepop and Others despite being a sequel. The series brings together director Takashi Watanabe, probably known best for Slayers of all things, writer Sadayuki Murai (Millenium Actress, Perfect Blue), and character designer Shigeyuki Suga (Kino's Journey, Giant Robo) for a supernatural take on obsession, memories, death, and how we're all connected.
This series is streaming on Funimation and Crunchyroll
