I've gone through quite a few of the recommendations so far, but this has by far been the most warped yet. It doesn't even hit you just how fucked it really is until the last 2-3 episodes of the series. The story is very very good. It damn near squeezed tears. The English dubbing was kind of crap, but the story was enough to overlook it after a while.

No to sure sure the cute comes into play. Well, I guess a little bit with Nyu, but that was pretty minimal. If I had to pick something as a perfect balance of cute and gore, I'd say Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan nailed that, in a lighthearted fun kind of cute gorey way, lol......
