Hmm. I followed the manga for a bit a year or two back; would be kind of curious to see what they might do with an adaptation.

It started out quite well, with the weird, symbiotic relationship between the two main characters coming across like something straight out of a David Lynch film. I kind of lost interest in it after a while though, as it seemed to lack much of an overall plot and the wonderful, hallucenatory dream scenes dried up after the first few chapters.

Latterly, I gather it also went heavily into fanservice mode, too.

Well, I can hardly skip it after that description.
 
I'm cautiously optimistic for this one. So long as they don't try to iron out the weirdness and repackage it as a more mainstream show, it could be one to watch.
