I went in with an open mind. Yeah, my lightnovel side said that they cut a lot off (in particular the friendship between Godou and Vethprega), but at the same time it was entertaining and had a nice exposition, which is ultimately the point of any anime. As such, I can see how this episode might be very attractive to the non-lightnovel readers and simultaneously piss off the novel readers.
However, the bottom line is that it's a nice first episode. And for the casual watcher, the action and adventure alone will probably entice them back. For me, if I put aside my reader side, I would consider the pilot episode well done and I'll definitely wait for the next episode.
