Out of curiosity, had you seen the anime when you read the books? Reading your reviews reminded me of just how strange and cool the world of the books is, and I wonder if I would have enjoyed them more if that had been my introduction to it. Having seen the anime already, I think they lost a lot of their impact.
(A digression: I don't like to watch video stuff unless I have company. If I'm by myself, I prefer to read. So I've read a decent number of manga but have seen barely any anime, unless you want to count things that I watched as a small child many years ago, such as "Astro Boy.")
I had a long comment here about some aspects of the world in the story, but realized it was moderately spoiler-ish. I'm going to add it below the cut on my vol. 2 write-up, if you feel like talking about it.

I haven't seen the anime at all!
