I haven't read the manga, but what you say about the anime rings true here. Not much exposition, but there is definitely a lot of black humor and odd characters. I'm a bit uncomfortable with the child soldier, but I think that it's because of the more realistic setting and character design. It was nice to see that a point was made to show potential audience uncomfortableness with that in the cast itself.
I came in expecting something similar to Ghost in the Shell's tactical squad feeling, with a dash of politics, and I wasn't disappointed.. I look forward to seeing more of the story and characters fleshed out.
And that ED song is awesome, by the way.
