If I were running noitaminA, I'd commission another half-dozen episodes once the manga has moved along sufficiently. The production costs must be ultra-competitive compared to regular shows.
I had wondered in the earlier episodes about the extensive generosity shown by the Japanese to Lucius. Not until episode six did he actually pay for anything.
Throughout the show I've thought there's a subtle satirical undertone about technological borrowing. The Japanese are traditionally seen by Westerners as have borrowed their technologies then improved upon them. It's amusing to see the tables being turned here with Japan as the source of technological and cultural innovation.
