I just started HR on Monday, and finished it yesterday! Definitely the kind of show that's greatly improved by knowing nothing about it going in. I imagine if I'd read any of the analyses about the haibane and the walls before watching it, it wouldn't have entranced me like it did. Lain is at the top of my to-watch list, but I don't know if I'm ready to watch it. I might watch something more lighthearted first.

!It's so rare for a show to introduce so many questions and mysteries and not answer a single damn one, and still be so good. The closest I can think of is Land of the Lustrous, but with that one I needed to read the manga and learn more. I don't feel that need with HR; I'm satisfied with the end.!<
