Spoiler for ep1:

The most awkward thing about this anime is that the character designs are so much more different than the Zettai etc. anime. Everyone looks so... I don't know, dark? Which I guess fits, but still, definitely different. I think I was able to notice Minamoto in the OP though.

It was actually a really good first episode though, though it kind of feels like you have to know the original story to understand what was going on, like "Queen".
Plenty of action.
But the only thing I didn't like was that the battle was decided by pure power. No outwitting or anything, just "Oh, now I'm going to remove my limiter. I'm SO STRONG~~~! Weihh~~!"
Did he have this power in the original story? Not that I recall.
But other than that, it was good. Other than that.
