I saw the first two episodes they were good but not enough to make me watch the full series.
Yeah, this. I thought to myself "wait a minute, this just E.T. with boobs and gore!" Although I heard that it's worth it when you get to the end, so I might give it another shot.

Incredibly brutal and somewhat creepy at times, it's also very emotional and cathartic to watch. I didn't like the process of watching it, but I did end up quite liking the Anime as a whole in the end. It's a tough watch, but ultimately worth it I felt.

I watched the DVD up to the child rape scene...and that was the end of my interest in the series. Period.
One of the darkest and disgusting things I've seen in Anime, and all the more brutal because of the "realism of it and the psychological jealousy mechanisms behind the aftermath of it, in stark contrast to telekinetics ripping each other apart. Since it wasn't presented as fanservice though - which would have been inexcusable - it didn't cause me to stop watching the rest despite the temporary nausea it induced.
