I got a lot less out of the first episode than a lot of people seem to have done. I can't see that the series is very good or bad either way, and I suspect it will be neither. There were a few hints dropped about this and that but nothing was explained. It would have been nice to find out a little more about what took place.
The only impression I got was a) GAINAX still remembers how to do those crazy missile trails and they are very proud of that, and b) this is not going to be any more astounding than any of the studio's other post-Anno offerings.
