The minus is that it is unremittingly bleak, with a chaotic plot and deeply unsympathetic characters.
In the very first episode the main character is deliberately mutilated. Then it gets worse (yes, for real).
It's not gore for the sake of gore, but the relentless pessimism just never lets up. A prophetic character becomes all but catatonic because of the horror she foresees. By the end of the series you see her point.
Makes "End of Evangelion" look positively cheerful.
I found this anime to be very addictive after buying the first volume. although not for the younger viewer because of its refence to sex, violence and bad language it is a great anime.
Most people may be put off by the slow moving story and the fact that almost nothing is said for the first two episodes but if you can stayed with it for the first volume youu'll be surprised how much better it gets.
