The business with Grandpap was indeed a clunker, but apart from that I loved that first episode. Atmosphere out the ying-yang - terrific visuals, lovely music, refreshingly different casting. Nothing conventional about it whatsoever. I was immediately struck by a strong TTGL vibe in the look of the show, so I double-checked and sure enough - the character designer and all the A.D.'s worked on Gurren Lagann.
I don't deny the narrative could be a big problem long-term - the exposition was very clumsy. But for one week, I was pretty much swept away.
