Thankfully, I've been able to watch the first episode just before the second one starts airing.

I do have to admit that for the continuation season of the series this starter episode was rather eventful, giving hints for a few plot machinations in the future.

Spoiler:

And, again my hunch was right when confirming that the ending theme played on episode thirteen comes from the second season.

It was a rather good episode.

Spoiler:

Spoiler for As for the Shichisei:

BTW, the jukebox rendition to the OP song is beautiful.

I do have to admit that for the continuation season of the series this starter episode was rather eventful, giving hints for a few plot machinations in the future. Spoiler: It also explained as to why Makina remained chained-up inside that cave in episode thirteen of the previous season. I would like if someone, who understands Japanese, explain to me exactly what were those skull things revolving around Makina. At first, I thought that Makina chose to remain in that pseudo-catatonic state due that Ouri did not advance a grain of salt in his training to keep her stable, but my intuition tells me that her state was due over her regret at not being able to protect Keisei; she clinged and got, figuratively, chained to that loss which would explain the flying skull-things on her. And, again my hunch was right when confirming that the ending theme played on episode thirteen comes from the second season. It was a rather good episode. Spoiler: We got to see Kamika again in sword-and-slash action for a few seconds. Sadahiro is quite fast on his feet and reflexes to have been able to surround Akasha and threatened the latter with a knife at point-blank range. And, then the climax with Makina resurfacing from her depressive state, thanks to Ouri's hug, and smashing the pulp out of the Shikabane-converted, monk's skull. Spoiler for As for the Shichisei: Honestly, guys I do really wish that Makina and the others smash them all to bloody pulp. Those bastards piss me up; in particular displeasure the most a**clowns are- centipede guy (whose name I don't know); Enna (glasses Shikabane girl); and Hokuto (eerie-smiling, white-haired, Shikabane girl). The most latter mentioned I just pray and wish that the writers do not give away any insight about her background to make the audience feel sorry and pity for her. I do really hate her at the moment and wish to remain doing so for the rest of the season. BTW, the jukebox rendition to the OP song is beautiful.
