This sounds interesting from the writeup you gave so I might look into it though.

Bump: I watched all 10 episodes that are out. It's fun when something starts fucking up, and you know something is gonna happen, but you don't know how it's gonna turn out until it does.
They also overused Claire de Lune all the way to meme territory.
