* The ED, done in live-action, is very creepy. [[Deal with the Devil|What the hell is that unholy thing inside the trunk?!]] The way things are going, this series may need its own page by the time it's done. Is [[Gainax]] going [[Darker and Edgier]] [[Neon Genesis Evangelion/Nightmare Fuel|aga]][[Rebuild of Evangelion/Nightmare Fuel|in?]]
** In episode 2, there's a seemingly innocent and unfortunate young woman who {{spoiler|had such a deep fear of abandonment and such a harsh upbringing that she ended up [[Yandere|killing people to make them "stay" with her]]}}.
** Episode [[Four Is Death|4]] sets the bar pretty high.
*** To elaborate, {{spoiler|an obsessive [[Fan Girl]] forces her favorite author to rewrite the third book of his trilogy to her liking, and "educates" him by alternately killing him and his lover, using a special Phantom Book so that [[Equivalent Exchange|each one's death]] [[Death Is Cheap|brings the other back to life]]. She ultimately gets [[Karmic Death|dragged down to the underworld herself]].}}
** Episode 5 features {{spoiler|a true magician who can perform magic without a Phantom Book, who kills people by turning their blood to mercury, not to mention his "daughters", including one [[Our Homunculi Are Different|homunculus]]. And everything he does is [[For Science!]]. Granted, his victims got better, but it was still damn creepy.}}
** Episode 6 explores a village where {{spoiler|80% of the inhabitants are [[Replacement Goldfish]] puppets who will panic when something unfamiliar appears and try to kill whatever caused their stress. At their creator's command, they go after the [[Hero of Another Story]], and get [[Kill It with Fire|burned down to nothing]].}}
** Episode 7 continues this trend, focusing on {{spoiler|[[Fantastic Drug]] users who go to extreme lengths to satisfy their addiction, repeatedly stabbing the creator of said drug (perfume). They also [[Feel No Pain]], until they're hit with another perfume, which ''amplifies'' their sense of touch to an excruciating degree. Yet another perfume is able to actually [[Driven to Suicide|drive people to commit suicide]]!}}
