Blame

There is a new anime out on (ok, I'll edit and put link later if I'm allowed) called blame
Unlike most of the stuff there which is fansubs, and are therefore commercial products, this anime was made specifically for the fansub community. It was translated by the creators and encoded into XviD by the creators In other words, the creators of it are the ones that put it out to be on bittorrents.
In any case, this has a similar feeling to most homemade animation... The episodes are very small, less than 4 minutes of actual episode not counting the end sequence, and it is very confusing, very effects heavy, and extremely slick and stylistic. Alltogether with 6 episodes and a bonus episode, this show was... one big confusing mystery to me...
Um,ok, gotta warn people... In the first log there is a violent scene. In one of the logs, there is nudity (I don't even know it it's human though it is made to look so... also looks like part of the machinary...) so that's the warnings... Oh, and the things that run the place, one of them has two upside down crosses, and there is a large cross (right side up) in one of the scenes, it looked as though the charachter was bowing to it, though I may have been trying to pull something out of it that wasn't there...
So, anyone else seen this? Anyone get it at all? I mean, I thought Lain was a little confusing but I mostly understood it at the end... This, however... My brain's about to explode? Does anyone understand exactly what this was about? If so, can someone explain it to me?
The animation was amazing... It's better than 99% of TV animation, and looks like it took a long time to do. It was almost definately digital, and they probably used a lot of tricks to do some of the things that happened. But, the story is very... weird... I mean, for people confused by lain, don't bother with this one... it's just too out there. But something in my brain won't let me drop it... I need SOMEONE to explain it to me... Does anyone get it?
