totally agree with serenade_beta on the prejudging. you can judge anything about the anime but the story or plot based on first one or two episodes. though I need to put this on hold till later, since I have too many things on my plate now. currently, I'm more bothered by the character design and bgm, at a personal level, than the story.

Actually, while I can see the point S_B made, usually the opening episodes should be the best indicators for whats to come later on.
Sure, you can't make a blanket statement that the entire plot of the show will suck going by the first episode alone, but having a show should draw you in from the start, otherwise it wont matter how good it gets later on.

for me, eps 2 turns out to be better
Utao is a better person than expected, she is quick to help others, she works hard and she even does her homework, of course she is also very cute the finger-breaking mad scientist Kuuko is interesting as well, as for Hibino i will try to focus only on her head, and Aki should be back soon i prefer them not to rush in revealing Kyohei's past

Honestly, I didn't see Aki as "generic evil" after ep 1. Seems to me like the dynamic was going to be set up where he was rebelling against what he saw as the evil of the village - though obviously in a frighteningly violent way - this giving him something uncomfortably in common with Kyouhei. Of course that could be a total misread on my part.

Episode 02
Ah, If I ever had a reason for watching this series, there'd be 3: Hibino and Kuuko. I know, strange coming from me for a series largely devoid of fanservice, but that's the fun part about it. Hibino's and Kuuko's big ones aren't the focal point of this show, yet it gets in my face every time I see them, I'd be lying if I said I don't get a reaction To me, there's just something special about the way they aren't particularly a blatant focus of the camera, compared to a full on fanservice anime, and yet... I just seem to focus on them all the time lol. The great part is, I think I'm just going to add Kuuko to the Sadist Female list for Summer 2011, which could be my other motivating reason...

There have been more than a few hints dropped to show the village as shady, including Kyouhei's disdain for the place and his past.

Speaking of Utao, I'm glad she is winning on that poll thing on the official website. For a moment, I thought some joke vote like Aki wearing a sailer uniform would win (or maybe that Bandou-like guy in a sailor uniform). But it looks like everyone is catching on! Ya~y~

I want to know more about this village, about their Gods, about Aki, about the male lead, things of substance. I could do less with Utao training day at the park, and more with real substance. |

but Hibino's weird boobs makes me think that Utao slightly better than her as heroine in this series ah well, mad scientist(?) "Kuuko Karahari" who appeared in eps 2 made the anime more enjoyable though (especially because she was voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro)

She's not a lot of anime this season, at least when compared to before.
