It was never going to be massively popular.
The characters have powers, but they’re very limited.
It reminds me of those classic 70s and 80s British low budget sci fi survival horror shows: Survivors, Day Of The Triffids, etc. where the characters had to think or luck their way out of sticky situations.

Yeah - I liked it all in all. It’s not as stylish as Elfen Lied, but it’s a more tightly focused story. I think I’m going to end up reading the manga sooner or later, because there was a lot of background that was only really hinted at in the series, and the manga of Elfen Lied was worth reading for just that reason (even though it sort of bogged down at about the 2/3 mark) - because it filled in all the background details the anime skipped.
