Glad I gave this a second episode, becuase the first one was less interesting as it was mostly setup. It also wasn't indicative about what the show brings to the table. I had to double check that this wasn't written by Gen Urobuchi because the dialogue felt so similar to his; characters bantering why waxing philosophic... it got the job done but didn't inspire.

Thankfully, once the second episode began and the first mystery afoot, things became so much better. I owl eyed at the sudden and unwelcome end of the second ep and had to double check that the runtime wasn't truncated. The highest praise I can give, really. Ryll has been singing its praises in the seasonal thread, and is correct. Give this a try if you like mysteries and a decidedly less... anime take on the supernatural.
