Happy Sugar Life (Obsessive love anime portraying people with severe mental illness)

Probably the only horror anime that effectively belonged to that categorization.

 While the character depth and backgrounds are shaky at best this is very typical in animated series, same as the portrayal of mental illness, and instead, I'd like to point out that the feelings revolting around the sick "love" that Satou feels for the little girl are well treated, and that the climate that the series offer is obscure and oppressive- the question that the show treats is: how far are we willing to go for our loved one?- and it's good at it. It is short and very entertaining even if the ending it's a little bland. Major flaw? Characters other than the two protagonists are poorly executed and forgettable. 8/10
