I have heard of this anime before, it was supposedly a deconsruction/reimagining of a certain genre. And I would say, that was pretty intense from the get-go, now I see the appeal. They really took effort in trying to establish how the series would go from this premiere alone. The animation was impressive, but the fight scenes is where the money goes as well as the music. If the objective was to get the viewers hooked then it succeeded spectacularly. That being said, I am looking forward to seeing next episode. If they stay focused on the strengths of this series we're in for some fun times.
