I'm not at all devoted to sci-fi, the DVDs were cheap here :) I got it because i liked the darkness and the absolute weirdness of the vision. It's one of those shows that was so uneven, that I could never actually recommend it without caveats--but it had a few episodes that were really smart and that I loved. At the same time, it had some awful stuff, there were plenty of eps that didn't work at all.

There used to be a few episodes of MFU on youtube, but they've been removed. It's fun. And it has Illya which is pretty much all you need to know :D
