Oh damn, it’s been a while since I’ve seen that one. Also haven’t come across many people that watched it.
Used to be on my favourites for a long time, but at some point in my life I didn’t really vibe with this anime much anymore. Maybe I should give it a rewatch. I should have the DVD somewhere…
Yeah - I can see both of those responses to it. It’s an interesting world and relatively engaging characters, but it’s also self-consciously edgy and relentlessly brutal. So it’s one of those series that make a strong initial impact, but then sort of overstay their welcome.
Yeah, I guess that was the thing I liked in my late teens, but that’s no longer the case. Rewatching it several years back made it feel more like torture porn than anything else at times.
For what it’s worth, I’ve also seen it, although it was quite some time ago. My feelings about it at the time were mixed—it was interesting in many ways, but there were also aspects of it that I could have done without, and unfortunately it’s mostly the bits I could have done without (like that one torture scene) that have stuck with me.
