You're welcome! I was a bit uncertain when I wrote that recommendation for obvious reasons, but I'm glad to see it hit the spot.
I especially admired Takashima Daisuke's direction of the battle sequence in episode one. It is so kinetic and so well-timed with the music. It won't displace episode one of
Seirei no Moribito from the top of my list of best first episodes, but it's up there.
