After watching episode 1, i think it's safe to say it's worth watching.
The animation quality is good. There isn't any flaws that i can see at the moment though i m watching this on the less desirable format (unfortunately, it's removed now by the user). Music is as good as you can expect from Kenji Kawai and fits very well. While i was disappointed with the OP and ED, the BGM made it for it. From the idyllic scene to the fast pace action, the BGM carries the mood very smoothly and doesn't feel out of place. Spoiler for episode 1:
Barsa just ooze Motoko Kusanagi. She's 30 year old, compose, practical and straight to the point.

From the trailers there was an on the surface feeling of the ultimate combination of Motoko and the original Saya vibes, it's great that it's showing through in her Matoko-like actions/personality, man she's going to be an awesome main character. |

Thanks for the pics MrProphet! 1st ep. looked great. I liked "Shine". Instrumentals are okay but this has to have mass appeal.

I think the OP itself is gorgous though, especially the final shot with the flock of birds. The song doesn't make it any less good as far as I'm concerned and it does fit anyways. ActuallyI even got somewhat of a Kurau vibe from the OP with all the shots focusing on the main characters, felt very personal. Btw, was the airing a special preview on TV? I thought the show aired on Saturday mornings... |

The first episode was really focused on Barsa-nee-san (I'm serious, they call her that!), but I also really liked Tanda (Barsa's wizard friend/almostlover). His scene was really short, but he had that deep manly voice that has completely sealed his character for me.
And Barsa, despite looking like Saya, is a complete Motoko. Composed, beautiful, with a understated sense of humor and an aura of cloaked mystique, possessing that hidden intensity under the surface that just jumps at you when you least expect it. Definitely my favorite type of heroine. |

Thumbs up for the first episode; a lot of stuff we'd seen before and it's not really ZOMGAMAZING, but as per usual for PIG it's really well made and the voice acting's superb. |

I assume that it originally came from Winny/Share. However, since using Winny requires m@d skillz, I got it from another source.
Unfortunately, that source is already gone as well. PM me, if you'd like to partake in my version (it's kinda bad, though). Do not despair. It's bound to appear again soon. |

Not sure it's airing in HD is it? Or is it just the preview airing in SD?
So far I've only seen one raw at 1280x720 by an unknown so I didn't grab it. Should be easier to see the episode now for people who haven't seen it yet. *hint* *hint*

I didn't watch this episode. I drank it.
Spoiler:
And I've finally found my honorable Onesama who had been missing since the GitS: 2nd Gig. Anime like these make one feel that it is good to be an anime-fan. Let the Spring season begin.
