Been reading the very few English-language reviews out, and it looks like I'm going to enjoy the heck out of this show, as even the negatives that the reviewers went on about (pseudo jeudo-christian religious overtones as only the Japanese can do), are positives in my book.
The impression I get is of a similar philosophical bent as Ghost in the Shell, but with the addition of religion.
With Xenogears/Xenosaga being one of my favorite video game franchises of all time, I have infinite patience for that type of thing as entertainment.
