From the first scene I felt like I'd seen the anime before. By the second or third episode I confirmed in my mind that I had indeed already completed Kurozuka & my uncertainty wasn't due to confusion or imagined deja vu- but due to themes of eternity, reality, fate and life and death and life again being wonderfully executed in the story telling. The unclear progression & perception of truth all succeeded in making this Alice in Wonderland- Ergo Proxy journey enthralling (Brownster's 'engrossing' was well chosen). Reaffirming D5's ' hardcore mind-gang-rape' description as very true.

Rating the anime was difficult when it came to Enjoyment as no terms seemed close to relevant other then 'great'. There were many fight scenes leaving me in ecstatic awe (I LOVE sword fight scenes and Kurozuka definitely satisfies!) but I don't think the true story lends itself to 'enjoyment', unless you're masochistically-orientated as the love and life in kurozuka are dark (few happy bunny moments) but beautiful nonetheless.
Once I started I knew I had to watch it throughout and am happy I did.
I find it hard to agree with people complaining about the 'confusing' 'messy' plot as it seems perfectly suited. Definitely worth watching and bring tissues for the fight scenes- they are HARD :P
