I liked the fact that Kal-el hugged Jor-el - it's rare in anime to see boys hug their (step) fathers. Apart from that though, the first half of the episode was mostly a whiff for me. Things got much better when Claire showed up. That was cute enough to flirt with saccharine, but it never crossed the line for me.

Now that I think about, a guy leaving behind his home and parents to explore a new world, while accompanied by a close female relative... That's certainly very Superman (once you factor in Supergirl). Quote:

I didn't care for Claire's initial introduction, and I'm still not really sure I like her. I'll just have to wait and see where they go with her character. So far I like Ariel more, I thought her early crying scene was really funny, and that that whole scene over all was sweet and nicely done with Ariel and Kal-el leaving.

Spoiler for Claire:
I liked the hugging scene too with Kal-el and his foster dad. You don't see those scenes too often, and its usually an acknowledging nod or handshake between father and son. I wonder if Kal-el's foster dad told Ariel about his past to keep a watch on him as well, since that scene probably would not make much sense otherwise.

Besides the ED combined with what he said at the end of episode 1 does not make me think it's going to be a happy ending.

Well tbh I never heard them say the 'el'.
Considering the way they pronounce 'Karl' though I'm not surprised Chrunchyroll got the idea of naming him 'Kal'. However, after everyone in Walkure Romance managed to pronounce Celia as Celilia for 13 episodes I wouldn't be too surprised if they did indeed pronounce it as Kal-el (or her name was indeed Celilia and they just named her Celia)

I'm just confused that it's even spelled both "Karl" and "Kal-el" in the CR subs. I've got a theory but it involves some stuff from the summary that the anime hasn't touched on yet so it's a spoilery theory?

On the other hand, at least this explains why CR went with that mane.
