You don't need to be. It may get to you a bit but by the end it's for a good reason, it's not just wallowing in doom and gloom. It's closer to a normal anime than Eraserhead or something.
Actually on the Lynch subject I always think of it along the same lines as Twin Peaks. It's got out there artsy and potentially disturbing stuff there but it's also got warmer moments almost as much.
Try it out. The first half is a pretty standard mecha show where the gimmick is that the main character is repeatedly emasculated as a joke, the serious/confusing stuff doesn't kick in until the second half.
