Sure the details were cut out, but they did manage to hit the big parts: the characters, the meeting, the introduction of Beatrice and the epitaph, and the Maria-Rosa relationship.
Overall I gave it a 9/10 for its promptness. Rather than spending minutes on details that could be covered in later episodes, it went straight to the facts and I am pleased with the outcome.

Aside from your score of 9/10 (I'll rate it 7/10 myself) this post pretty much says what I wanted to. Also I think people should ease up a bit on the "they didn't cover this scene" talk. Especially for things that explains character actions.. there is a very good chance they cover it in the next few episodes... Battler and his family situation, Natsuhi and Eva's tense relationship.. they have scenes to include them instead of trying to cram them and everything else into episode 1.

What charisma? I'm sure he was charismatic in the past but atm Kinzo to me has as much charisma as a dead person. He's a raving lunatic atm and nowhere near being charismatic. I was going to mention this in the music thread after the drama cd came out but I forgot but seriously can you explain this? I just don't see it, no one I talk to sees it
in this scene.
