I've watched the whole series now, and there was certainly a lot more going on in the background than I could absorb. Very interesting story arc, with every episode almost a different genre -- perhaps a genre unto itself. I think Kon has said somewhere that the series was in some ways a byproduct of the three movies he had done before it. It was a chance for him to take leftover ideas that didn't fit in the movies and see where they took him.
The final disk of the Region 1 set, which has the final three episodes, has commentary by the director (Kon), the writer, and the producer. They had some interesting things to say about the opening credits and the ending credits and the mid-episode breaks and Prophetic Visions, although they mostly talk about various aspects of the production process. I won't spoil anything, but let's just say that I seem to have been misreading some things. I'll have to watch the whole thing again at some point to see what it looks like now that I know where it's going.
