If you think that you can take all this, then definitely do. It is one of the most bizzare animes in terms of violence, but also it has one deep message in it. If you find that, then you will enjoy in this anime quite a lot.
It is definitely recommended that you try it, and don't just stop at first episode (many people do after seeing it), just continue and you will see that it will get better.^^
Oh, this doesn't actually have any fanservice. All the nudity wasn't made in a fan service way. But in an another, metaphoric one that you have to understand.
Believe me, I have watched animes with fanservice, and they are completely different than this one. xD
Oh yeah, the end was just beautiful. Sad... But it was made in a nice way. Though not everyone understands it, as two my friends who watched it with me haven't completely.
But yeah, this definitely was a good series and I might one day read the manga, because that one is two times longer, just to see if there is something more afterward.
Hey, thank you for long (and fast) comment! :) I am glad that you like it, and that you think in the same way.
Yup, this is definitely one of the series that can have a big impact on you. But not everyone will understand it's true meaning. Especially not those that don't watch it until the end. And some people also may not understand the end there.
I watched it with two of my friends, and even if they enjoyed watching this, they still haven't grasped the true meaning behind it.
But yeah, all in all, this a great anime and recommended to anyone (anyone who has required age and can take all this, that is xD).
This anime definitely made a huge impact on me, and left me in tears on the last episode. The theme song is just breathtakingly beautiful, and the series was short, but had such a deep message it's incredible. I'm glad you were finally able to finish the series(:
I agree with every point you've made.
It was one of those animes that last and stay with you for a long time, one that changes how you live every day life. It was so filled with emotion that it's impossible not to be affected by it.
The strong, adult themes were the key to it having such an impact. Everything was so deep, and although the story is fictional and could never happen, it's definitely possible to use the events and apply them to real life.
I don't think the story could have been told without the violence and nudity. It's not violence just for the sake of violence; it's violence to shock you and show you real bloodshed. The nudity isn't used for fanservice (as you mentioned), but more to show the beauty of the human body.
This is one of my favorite animes (I watched it in a day!), and I would recommend it to anyone who can handle it.

Don't worry I've seen a lot of violent anime (Including School Days that blew my mind at the end 0_0.) I'm sure I'll like it ^^!
