Perhaps I can blame it on my high expectations (from the praises I kept hearing for this series), but the first episode seemed like a poor-man's Bokurano. Pacing wasn't much of an issue for me as opposed to the stock characters and flimsy goals of the characters (I mean those future rivals of Yukiteru and Yuuno taking all the things Deus said in stride just like that? Seriously?).
I'll still watch the next episode just to see if it improves somewhat. Not holding my breath though.
