Such a good first episode! The colors were incredibly vibrant and brought such life to the episode. The music was incredibly well done and fit well with each scene. It had an excellent balance of drama and humor interspersed throughout the episode which kept an otherwise dull introductory episode interesting. And that transformation scene...
As an aside, the two kids talking about life and death was especially funny to me. Precocious much?
Coupled with that I am particularly interested in the tidbits of symbolism/foreshadowing in this episode (kid pontificating on what comes after death, red string of fate microphone cord). If I get another symbolism masterpiece like Utena to analyze then I couldn't be happier.
