Right. The details and the humor are actually high brow and unexagerated. This makes it boring for a lot of people. Also, this anime is another perpetrator of the "Term Slinging" crime. If you don't like catching key terms spat out at random by all the characters, don't watch this show. Also, the animation isn't flashy. It's extremely technical, though.
Yeah, it takes a certain kind to like Xam'd. Mostly, if you liked Miyazaki somewhat and are not above the occasional cliches, you're good to go.
