Yes. No.

It was one of my worst of the year, despite being, in theory, my kind of thing. The bland character design would be enough of a fault normally, but it combined with the non-linear storytelling to make even simple scenes confusing.

What I've seen from people who like the novels also said that the show kind of cuts the heart out of the books. The raw events are there, but the stuff that makes you care is pretty much gone.

I really liked Boogiepop Phantom, and was very disappointed with & Others. Phantom had this overarching sense of alienation and societal pressure that added a lot of texture to the events, which Others had basically none of so it came across as kinda perfunctory.
