Well, haven't read the manga so came into this cold turkey, but for me it was easily the best first episode of the season so far. I know enough to know this is going to get extremely dark and I may not enjoy what happens much, per se, but I suspect it's going to be a memorable ride. Despite the lack of any overt "darkness" in ep 1 it managed to be extremely creepy and profoundly foreboding.
I might also add that I don't share the virulent anti-Gonzo bias that seems so prevalent around these parts. Like most outfits they have their failures and successes, but they are capable of some outstanding work, IMO. I have high hopes for this series.
