Haven't seen the show, but the fact it's had an emotional effect on you indicates the writers have done their job ;)

We watched season 1 of the series recently. My dilemma was that I liked the story and characters but the fact that the story includes that a common penalty for children who disobey orders is to be strung up naked and whipped (by the supposedly good adults) creeped me out and ruined it for me. The writer has a bunch of fetishes I think. Idk.
Also I heard season 2 is just really sick and perverted so we're staying away from that.

I do as well. I honestly have this same struggle with a lot of "morally grey" characters these days. I feel like that's a huge niche these days...making characters so complex that we have a complex ourselves trying to sort them out in our heads?!

There is something to be said about admiring a villain--it means they were written so superbly that your genuine interest overwhelms your gut instinct.
I get it for sure--but it's just proof of how good the piece of media is, ya know?? :)

I feel this with a lot of shows and movies...the "morally gray" character to root for, or even more drastic, the villain you cheer on!! It's conflicting, right?!! Are there any other anime you enjoy??

I always look at these things this way: if the creator created such an amazing character that I enjoy their "presence" or "flair" despite being at odds with their actions...well that is a pretty damn great character then, right? :)

This is actually an anime I was thinking of putting in my backlog!! Maybe this is a sign to put it on the front burner?! :)

Yes, I feel this way about many different types of media -- games, anime, movies...you name it. Almost an anti-hero, right?
