So it looks like everyone else who has reviewed this anime thus far have been quite critical of it. 

However, I myself found it quite enjoyable. I thought it had a rich story and deep plot, filled with great themes, symbolism, and imagery (though, you probably need to know a bit about Christianity/Catholicism to catch that). Some notable themes include finding meaning in suffering, self-sacrifice, trust in divine providence, forgiveness, God's mercy, the corrupting nature of power, the wretchedness of man as balanced or outweighed by the essential goodness of man, etc., etc.

The animation is okay. It certainly isn't stellar but it isn't so bad that you cringe when you watch it. The CGI was a bit jarring at first, but you do get used to it.

I personally enjoyed the music the series chose to use and thought the characters were well-developed.

I'd recommend this anime to anyone who is looking for a series that'll leave them thinking about the most important things in life. It is a nice break from the mundane, linear plots found in other anime.
