After seeing this, and the first thread, poking my interest, I decided to look it up through it's manga. I've only read the first few chapters, and I don't really get it. Maybe it's the poorly done translations of Mangafox.com, or maybe it's just me. But I really don't get this.

Taking weird liberties with western religions, having characters manipulate metal (like that other anime/manga), and using breastfeeding as the fanservice/power-up? Mind you, that's how I'm looking at this. There's probably something going on that's way over my head.

My opinion may be that of a typical, non-Japanophile, westerner curmudgeon, but someone has to come along and tell you kids to get off his lawn =P I do like some anime and manga, preferable the ones that have an ending, but my tastes have matured from the Dragon Ball Z days of old.
