Most do start the first half of the episode as happy and they do include cutesy characters. NEver thought on how it affects you?
Well, the animation just didn't click for me, as I tend to avoid shows that have that cutesy look. Again, I found the nudity to be excessive, and mostly existed for the purpose of fanservice.

You set your expectations low to begin with so that's why it didn't work for you. Maybe horror anime is not your kind. But be sure that this is a masterpiece on its own.
Sure, I'll admit to that. The hype that surrounded it did irritate me, and the amount of times it was recommended to me was grating. As for horror anime, I don't know. I considered Monster to be somewhat of a horror anime, and I wholeheartedly enjoyed it. (Especially as the animation appeared more realistic looking)
