I watched about 6 or 8ish episodes of Ayashi no Ceres several years ago, when it was new, and I didn't like it. I never finished it, because I thought it took a lot of the sexist stuff that was present but minor in FY and twisted it up much darker and more violent in AnC.
Also, the thing that I always liked about FY is that it's the story of Miyaka and Yue, of their friendship and their home-made war in their fantasy setting. I didn't see anything that *solid* grounding the main characters in AnC...except some heavy hints toward incest, which doesn't make for a reliable relationship between characters. Anyway, the whole show icked me out. I might try it again someday, being a little older now than 16 or 17, but if so that will be a long way off.
