Main Description
Eiri Kurahashi is a young artist working in his family's antique shop. The spirit of a girl named Cossette reaches out to him from a recently acquired lot of items from an old Victorian castle. She tells him that she was murdered, and that her soul remains bound to the items that were present for the crime. Cossette also tells Eiri that he is the reincarnation of the man who murdered her, and he must go through agonizing trials to free his soul of its sin and to release her as well.

Personal Opinions
OldTimeyProspector
Cossette doesn't make a whole lot of sense, in my opinion. It's all very gothic and metaphorical and such, but I honestly couldn't make heads or tails of what was going on. There's Cossette herself, and then there's the image of Cossette that the dude who killed her had, and then Eiri's that guy reincarnated except that he really isn't and that guy's spirit is still around and aauaugghh
That said, it's a pretty neat little series. It's got a lot of visual flair, and creates a nice creepy atmosphere. It's an enjoyable, quick little piece that makes a nice selection for a horror fan or a Halloween viewing list.
