Wow, that was a great first episode. I really wish I didn't read the manga, because that's the only thing holding me back from falling totally in love with the show. I really liked how Ando handled the introductions and how the episode of paced. Great detail on the clothing too, both in the designs and the actual animation.
I really hope they can keep up this sort of quality for most of the series. It's really pleasing to watch the visuals, the color design is great, and the music is awesome. I think the voice cast is doing a great job too. They make the contrived script pretty... believable.
