I'm in the minority here and that's fine. Interesting concept, but ridiculously drawn out and repetitive disjointed story. Horrible editing, okay animation, but honestly it really isn't that good. Nowhere near as violent as people claimed, it just isn't very graphic, it's pretty tame if you compare it to virtually any violent OVA from the 1990s. This is just not as good as I heard, the story isn't very intelligent, really fantastic concept poorly executed, and the characters are boring and cookie cutter. I was expecting much better animation from what people described, the action scenes have way too many cuts. The dubbing is especially awful, I would not watch this with dubs, it is done of the worst I've ever heard and I have watched a lot of anime and foreign films.
Overrated, but this not even close to the pinnacle of anime. If it's your thing, fine, that's totally okay The fact that this has 9 2 and the original Evangelion has 8.5 should tell you something. I guess if all your used to is Naruto and One Piece this might seem mind blowing, but it's basically a rehash of Eva without the Mechas and the deep psychological bent. It attempts to springboard off of the hyper violent legacies of series such as Bezerk and fails. If you want truly disturbing, check out Junji Ito.
It just is not what it is pumped up to be, it's mediocre at best.
