episode 1 could have been better.

The few times in my life I saw episodes that I thought were 'perfect'
(at least at the time), I was literally awestruck, and could not imagine
any way they could be improved upon.
Fanboyism has reached a long way. Anime wouldn't be the way it is today without that degree of bias. Attachment, alongside anticipation often clouds the more rational side of perception. Granted, I do not like seeing slews of 10 either even if I can somewhat understand their perception of it, but it's just the way things are.

I bet a beach episode would have loads of 10s, even if beach episodes are technically undeserving of a 10 when looked at the scale, epic-ness, intergration of multiple aspects, build-up, etc.

Technically, had Fate, Nanoha, and Hayate for example been "new" characters, I'd argue very few would go so far to give it a 10. Had Zwei been a male, well...less I say the better.

Though my opinions mean jack, really since half my ratings for this episode were contributed by my mecha fanboyism of Subaru's skills. :P
