Sum it up in a Sentence:
Boy meets creepy girl in a creepy school, people start dying left and right in gory ways because of a curse.
Main Description
In 1972, a very popular honor student named Misaki died partway through the school year in Yomiyama North Middle School's class 3-3. The rest of the students, devastated by the unexpected loss, decided to carry on as if their classmate were still alive, going so far as to keep the desk in place and bringing it to the graduation ceremony. Yet no one could explain why their classmate, already dead and buried, was present on the graduation photo.
Then, in the spring of 1998, a boy named Sakakibara Kouichi transfers to that classroom, and he grows suspicious of the fearful atmosphere in that classroom. In particular, there is a beautiful, aloof girl named Mei Misaki who wears an eyepatch and is always alone drawing pictures.

Personal Opinions
witchfetish
I really enjoyed this series. The first 3 episodes are excellent in the way they create that feeling of uneasiness, and when the curse hits, boy does it hits hard. While some people could think that the rest of the series is just a succession of Final Destination like deaths without much interest, the way the plot leaves us guessing by constantly throwing us false leads is nicely done. The animation is good, if nothing to write home about and the OP by ALI Project is perfectly appropriate for this sort of series. If you are willing to accept the limitations of the genre, you will no doubt enjoy this series.

The show's greatest strength is P. A. Works' typical high-quality visuals. The character designs are charming and varied, and everything from the gloomy backdrops to the gory death scenes are fluid and detailed. Everything else in the series is squarely mediocre. The music is creepy, but hardly stands out. The plot is straightforward and mysterious, but has to play its cards irrationally close to its chest to keep from spilling all the answers. Overall, an enjoyable horror series with plenty of mystery, creepy atmosphere and lots and lots of blood.
