Firstly, this anime will give you the impression that it is a casual, kawaii, school anime where girls dress up...
This is a complete misinterpretation due to this show's deep, dark roots - from the countless moral questions this anime raises, to the emotional struggling of the characters which becomes more apparent as the show progresses.
There's plenty of confusion that can arise if you do not pay attention, but danger and death are a common theme for this deceivingly light-hearted looking series. Some pull factors of this show to me, would include the blatantly abstract and otherworldly art that becomes exaggerated at irregular intervals which i won't give away. Furthermore, the characters all have vivid personalities and opinions, they are very emotive and easy to become attached to.
But i have saved the best until last, the drama. This is the most dramatic show I've seen yet, the plot is gripping, deep and it defies logic. Combining this with the peril i mentioned, the struggling of the characters in relation to their situation and you're onto a winner. This show will gradually make you question the definitions of life/being alive, sacrifice, and the greater good - all in 12 episodes which despite everything I've said so far, don't feel rushed.
I really can't think of any anime audience that wouldn't appreciate this show, and if you start, i urge you to make it to the end, as the story will continuously shape your feelings until you truly understand what's going from the get go.
I have done my best, but putting this anime into words has been difficult. Perhaps a final point would be that across the board: from the art, to the sound, to the characters etc. this anime scores highly on all fronts for me. It really is a must-see!
