I recently watched the original series, and personally it didn't grab me until the second or third round of the Hunter Exam (despite being fairly well directed from the start), so I honestly don't mind that the first episode seems to speed through a few things. There's plenty of time to develop relationships, background, the world, etc. I'm eager for the series to get to the meatier stuff and see if Madhouse puts its mark on it like the original series did so well.
