A nice mix of exposition, budding romance, Saki taking the plunge, and magical mystery murder.

It wasn't magical, nor that mysterious either

Spoiler for ep2:

When he kills the third guy, the witness, you can see that the gunshots actually come from a police patrol on a nearby street.
So basically we had this guy calling Juiz and ordering her to kill the guys, and probably Juiz was passing the target info to whoever was on the patrol, who was the actual killer.

noitaminA doesn't target the Otaku, so that's not what they're aiming for. Besides, these designs are pretty similar to those from Honey and Clover, which was adapted from a Josei manga (female-oriented manga) and was the first anime premiered in noitaminA. With this series, they're just doing what they always do: targeting a non-otaku adult audience, with a special care for their female audience.
