Myself, I don't *like* the OP -- but it fits quite well with the post-apocalyptic nature of the story. It just means it isn't on my playlist.

Looks like the source material folks are unhappy. Ah well, as a stand-along I've viewed 4 eps now -- and the story being told is quite interesting, though I'll admit I was happier watching the early period. I'm kind of hoping they flip back and forth between the past and the future.

I'll admit that watching the eps back to back it almost became a "how shall dice up Kuromitsu in *this* sequence?" every few minutes. Our hero doesn't seem to able to control his 'matrix rage' - only engage it *after* something nasty has happened.

It sure would be a shame if after all the eons of pain and trial that he and her don't get a few moments of peace together, but then asian literature and film is notorious for mildly depressing story closure.
