Why is this show so popular? I was so god damn bored watching this, I couldn't care about the characters at all.

Am I just not mature enough to see past the nudity and gore? Is it too deep for me?

The opposite most likely

I'm getting real tired of all these newfags who are too dumb to appreciate this classic.

New York Times agreed, don't bother them about it.

It's an ironically edgy dark humor manga adapted into an unironically edgy "deep" anime. One of the best examples of how direction can make or break an adaptation.
>>
I don't know if you've realized but no matter what the year, normalfags will flock to anything that's "dark" in anime

pretty sure that irony or seriousness isn't factored either way.

It's just guro fetish material.

The author has a fetish for all sorts of abuse and disabilities, both physical and emotional, and built the plot and characters around it. The anime sets out to do the same thing.

If you're even remotely familiar with the whole guro manga subculture you'll realize that it's nothing more than just that.

It certainly lacks a lot of the decadent flair and WW2 fixation that a lot of guro manga have but it's nonetheless what it is.

It's an anime you're supposed to masturbate to.

Too bad they removed the most fappable part.

I definitely agree.

Diapergirls are too rare in anime.
>>
In my opinion the anime is decent if you look past the egy gore fest. I don't get the praise for it, but I don't get all the hate either.
>>
>>144169494
>if you look past the edgy gore fest
you mean EVEN if we ignore the main draw of the anime?

It has an ok-ish "what would humanity do if it has to be confronted with the next evolution" plotline. It isn't particularly good but it's not bad either. That said the manga is total bullshit
