Based on a long line of violent, psychological thriller-type anime and manga that have been pumped out the past decade or so (Attack on Titan comes to mind, as does Tokyo Ghoul), I'm not at all surprised at the hype for this.
Looking for drama, comedic elements, optimism despite the bad, and strength to overcome obstacles? Full Metal Alchemist would be my recommendation.
