You bet! The 4th wall breaking and references to being a useless anime was pretty funny and broke something of a taboo I think, but the end part was really surprising...there are some real digs at the anime industry in episode 1 and given Shaft's reputation on the Japanese internet I'm not surprised they weren't chosen for this series.
I'm glad I chose to watch this though, it's a great series.
