This anime is... different. It's a bit hard to follow, but for some reason I found myself hooked. I've only seen 6 or 7 episodes so far, so I may not be in any position to judge, but I'm having trouble understanding where the story is really going. Nevertheless, the opening and the first episode were enough to make me keep watching.
This is an interesting series, so give it a try and see if tickles your fancy!
