A fairly disappointing show aside from the wonderful soundtrack.
Gore is supposed to be jarring. The nudity just helps it being worse. Now about cutesy... well, ever seen other horror anime? Most do start the first half of the episode as happy and they do include cutesy characters. NEver thought on how it affects you?

You set your expectations low to begin with so that's why it didn't work for you. Maybe horror anime is not your kind. But be sure that this is a masterpiece on its own.
