When did you first see it, and what did you think?

Was it your first/only anime if you did see it?

inspired by LCL vs FCL.

it's not really symbolic so much as it is just a interpretation of mysticism traditions of various major religions.

it's kind of a pastiche of christian Gnosticism, Kabbalah, and Buddhist mystic stuff.

but yeah you'd have to know about that stuff for it to make any sense, esp if you're a teen. I watched it in college so I was a bit more fluent in these things.
