I found this to be one of the lesser known anime done by Madhouse that I found to be made well. Quite the means of critique in the desires of man and the price they will pay for them. While the animation and stories are not necessarily strong, the message conveyed through each is exceptional and the anime overall is quite dark. There is also an interesting dynamic between the two recurring characters. I believe the only detriment to the anime itself was its brevity, with only 4 episodes. Nevertheless if you have 2 hours to spare it is worth the watch ;)
