To be brief and frank as one of the people who knew next to nothing about the source material... I kind of... uh, "derped out" and cut my watch for the first episode very short. Not very interested to see the battle going on, so I just jumped straight to the ED scenes.

I just hope Ep2 will improve my first impressions.
