Well, that was confusing. An adaptation of Atsushi Kaneko's manga of the same name (which I have not read fully), this series was a wild ride which answered pretty much none of the questions it posed. There were a few good ideas, especially in the first and last episode, but you probably won't get much out of it unless you are a fan of the manga or enjoy obscure and bizarre Japanese media.

Aside from the fact that nothing made sense, sometimes the main characters were very annoying and felt too much like caricatures for me to get invested in them. Based on the bits of the manga I read, it seems like they are written the same there, but in the translation to live action their quirks became more irritating.

The highlights were the visuals and the directing, you can clearly notice Takashi Shimizu's influence.
