I just finished watching the first volume of this, just because of the title's notoriety, and one word comes to mind:
Wow.
From the cover and the usual description on the box, I was ready for the violence and the boodshed and the, uh, VERY suggestive elements, but I didn't figure on the writing and the design and the whole conception of the series being so high quality. The animation was a little hard to adjust to at first, but once I DID, ye gods. . .
I really love experimental-type animation, and this is some of the best I've seen yet. It reminded me a little of Battle Angel Alita, but far more twisted and ambiguous. Characters were great, especially Aeon and Trevor, and the plotting was complicated enough to justify some rewatching. I'm going to see if I can dig up the other two volumes over the weekend.
Anybody else seen this? I think it was originally on MTV about six or seven years back. I can't place the animation style either, but I'm almost sure Moebius had a hand in it somewhere.
