I'm glad you're-- yeah, enjoying is not quite the right word, and I'm glad my reviews were useful. That is about the first season of the anime, and it is only going to get darker and more impressively well-crafted. As of having finished season two, it is one of the two or three best anime I have ever seen, and it was so intense that I had serious difficulty watching it.
Ozen also becomes less human in the anime when she's being menacing, and the thing the anime does really well with her physicality is that you can never quite figure out what her anatomy is actually like. You can never see all of her edges, if she's being inhuman. She also does the white-smudge with dark-smudges thing, and it is upsetting. (I love Ozen. She may be the outright nicest person in the series, which is distressing, but there it is.)
I do recommend, if you're not up for the actual anime, listening to and finding the translations of the lyrics of both the opening and ending sequences of season two when you get to that part of the series (layer six). Season one's music was really good. Season two's music was instrumental in helping me cope with the series emotionally, and both the opening and ending are just ludicrously brilliant.
