I'm a bit puzzled about all this elitist-sounding hate *shrug*
Fine, I'll out myself: GONZO is the last studio I'd prefer for the shows I want to see animated. They tend to start well, and then to mess things up in the end (I'll never forget how they mutilated the key scenes in Pumpkin Scissors). I'm not big on motorcycles. And I'm not tooo fond of CG. So, I have all the prejudice in the world.
But: This time, they have a relatively original storyline (it's nothing like the manga), and I like how they laid the foundation of some mystery to be resolved. They have Shizuka Itou, who alone would already be enough for me to give the show a try. And the setting is modern Germany, which they managed to properly depict in many details.
I'd say it was a surprisingly good start. 8/10 in my book. So I'll definitely continue to follow this for now.
