----------------------------------------
I'm not exactly thrilled by this episode. I'm interested to see where this show is going, but it's slow and the character designs don't really appeal me. Hope it gets better in the following episodes.

The first half of this episode was really good and then the second was really slow and vague. Hopefully that won't happen for the rest of the series because the storyline seems interesting.

The story seems interesting but the animation is disappointing. Also I felt that it's not edited properly some scenes looked as if they're cut 1 or 2 seconds too early.

yup the animation seems rather old, and the pace is slow, especially in 2nd half.

I liked the character design, it's different. Liked this episode too. Let's see how it progresses.

P.S. Loved the reference to NGE when the catastrophe occurred. :p

kinda confused a lil lol

"I am the bone of my sword,
Steel is my body and Fire is my blood,
I have created over a thousand blades,
Unknown to Death,
Nor known to Life,
Have withstood pain to create many weapons,
Yet, those hands will never hold anything,
So as I pray, unlimited blade works"

It was okey the setting looks okey but I don't feel it, the atmosphere is rather boring.... and to be honest I doubt that will change...

It was interesting enough I guess, I'd wanted to see it for a while and expected more but hopefully it'll get better. The start was more enjoyable than the last half but I guess we'll see what direction it's headed.

I found the gothic looking art style intriguing. I liked that it looked different.

Damn this first episode was good, it may not seem like it in the first 5 minates as it's kinda confusing about what's going on but it gets real good very fast as it just reels you in with it's distinct characters designs and setting, a must watch.

Mysterious series with a dark side of the characters probably revealed later on. Watching this in dub right now. Damn it

Artwork/animation is pretty poor for 2003 but gonna see how the story goes, has promise. Why do they all have pouty lips?

Yeah :) up til around then I worried it was just going to be an imitation, but then the plot jumped on elsewhere.

I liked the start, but this is definitely not something for everyday.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

The animation and character design is horrendous even for a show from 2003. Interesting story, let's see how this goes.

This wasn't too bad, although the character designs don't really appeal to me.

It's fascinating how the dub creates an entirely different atmosphere than the sub in this one. I've just watched both and dub is far superior, sounds more emotional and mysterious
Sticking with the dub 100%

Anyone know what the classical music piece played in the intro is, sounds like Bach maybe? Not the intro credits song but the song the guy plays on the record player.

I know you asked this years ago, so I'm kind of answering for the sake of posterity... Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 in E flat "Emperor", Op. 73 - Adagio.
