Overall, the first anime episode wasn't bad. But I don't think it would have blown me away if I'd been watching it uninitiated.
The problem is that the first two episodes are going to follow chapter 1 - which is double the length of a normal chapter. So the first half set the scene while the second hooked you in a bit more. Hopefully by episode two there'll be some faithful viewers!
Still not too pleased with Azuma's voice, though I AM glad that the snippet in the preview is just him introducing himself in an unusually loud, brash manner. This episode was fine, because the Seiyuu suited chibi-Azuma fine. Not so such about teen-Azuma. All I can think about is Tetsunosuke from Peacemaker Kurogane...
I wasn't sure about Kawachi's voice, though...a little TOO stereotypical for my tastes.
But still, it has a lot of promise and I think once the reactions start coming in fully, we'll have a really great anime, based on an even better manga.
