Dayum, many of my friends have requested me to start watching the series,
but i just haven't got into it yet. Does it really live up to the hype?

To be honest, I honestly don't feel that it does. I mean, it's great that it takes the whole 'magical girl' genre in a darker direction, but to me there's something missing. The characters are written okay, but they're still pretty two dimensional, and their behaviors and reactions are rather predictable. I feel that the morbidity of it was the only thing keeping me watching, not the characters.
I also thought it was funny that they pretty much gave away the entire plot in the previews.

I've watched now like 6 episodes and my only complain maybe the lame music
sometimes, it doesn't bring emotions when it should. Still lived up to my expectations.
Good show. Best Magical Girl anime to date.
