In fact, the whole pacing for episode one seemed too long and outstretched. I have the feelings, that since the manga began recently, the first episodes of the anime are going to be packed and chunked on with lots of fillerish material but that's my take.
It's so flashy with the lighting and visual effects, considering the use of much corny colors and episode one abused a lot of the campiness.
My God, what's with Kuu rescued from a fatal blow by Kyoshiro riding a horse, a WHITE horse?!!
Kannazuki no Miko at least started and developed with a bang in the first episode. The conclusion for episode one delivered an interesting cliffhanger.
The first fight for Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora is not appealing. Setsuna has a hard time to deal against a small fish before Kyoshiro lends her a hand on terms of power boost.
The very few things I like are 1) Kuu is voiced by Sayuri Yahagi whose debut role was Karin Maaka in Karin, the Blood Giving Vampire, as she sounds exactly like Karin and hope to hear her say hazukashi; 2) Chikane and Himeko are back though as different character incarnations.
The opening theme song is not fitting at all, particularly if robots and mecha suits are involved. The OP song feels more belonging to Kagihime. As for the ending song, it feels X to me.
Where I live, ' X ' is an expression applied to anything that is neither dull or lame nor surprising or a breakthrough. In other words, something so common or usual that can be easily overlooked with disregard.
I'll keep on watching this show either until I became fed up with dull boredom or something beyond the scope of the series happens, but I won't be keeping hopes up.

I like your 'X' theory. I've heard many openings lately that are 'X' as I have heard many that don't fit. Now I need to know, are people saying this show sucks because of people's usual hatred of mecha or does it just suck period. If its the former I'm giving it a shot, but if its the later I'm not bothering.
