The gore didn't bother me at all (it was even funny in some scenes), on the other hand the nudity was too excessive, for instance Nanas and Marikos battle, having her clothes all torn apart and getting all nude - that really wasn't necessary.
To me the biggest annoyance was the way humans were portrayed as if everyone in the world is cold-hearted. From macho mercenary who likes beating women, to scientists who conduct experiment the cruellest way, the sadist kids beating up the dog for fun, ending with people on the street who glare and bad-mouth. Of course when everyone is like that the main characters all look like angels, and because of that they where hardly likeable to me (except for Mayu and Kurama). I'm sure if the series were extended to 26 episodes, with more detail to Lucy's, Kohta's and others it would get the praise it truly deserves.

You see what you want to see. Most kids would joke at girls with horns though. Adults didn't even car (remember Nana wandering around and also trying to buy something? Nobody really cared). the macho mercenary did prove to be a good guy in the end (or am I mixing it with the manga?). To me Lucy didn't really look like an angel, an I've seen at MyAnimeList she's not really loved either. Nyuu yes, but in no way Lucy was likable. Getting bad mouthed is not a reason to mass murder.
What I disliked is how Kouhta kissed his father's killer. IRL, nobody with his right mind would've done that. I guess he didn't have that much of a choice though, she might've killed if he freaked out and be angry against her.
