| Just pay a little more attention and rewind if you need to and you should be okay, all those terms and names were a bit confusing for me too since I am an anime-only as well but I was able to get most of it so you should be able to too. And even if you don't get something, I don't think it would be too much of a problem as these things should come in the later episodes as well, I guess. |

| It's kind of funny. A lot is thrown, but at the same time, not much was thrown in terms of actual exposition as the first volume at the start has SO MUCH exposition covering the world, the weapons, etc that you could even argue that the author did too much to build the world right from the getgo. Here, since it was clearly not feasible to adapt so much of that into this episode, the anime went for a more show than tell approach, showing the districts and kind of people who live there so we can interpret what's happening with our own eyes and brains rather than have a massive dump of info. It will leave some people confused for sure, but I feel like the anime did a good enough job in making the showcase of events seem a bit clear personally. |
| The thing with the episode is that it only adapts the 1st chapter of the novel, but mixes up the order of events being told a bit. Like how it cuts from Lena eating food and being assigned to the Spearhead Squad, to then go back in time to her commanding the 3rd Unit. Hell, the stuff in the final 3rd of the episode where we meet Shin is anime original and never actually shown in the book. Id say just try to rewatch the episode and keep close attention to these transitions. |

The reason the first few chapters are so exposition heavy is cause Volume 1 was originally a complete story. It was entered into a contest and the requirement was to have a conclusive ending (hence why the Epilogue is the way it is) |
| No it’s not? You may wanna stick to JJK and AoT if you think 86 too complex |

| Light novel stuff is usually like this |

| Idk which subs you are watching from but i had no problems and even felt like it could be faster. |

| There were a few unfamiliar terms and phrases here and there, but all I needed to do for those was pause and look it up. As for visuals, definitely deserves a re-watch from start to finish. A lot of attention to detail was put into the first episode: the device being thrown on the ground, red text for "DESTROYED" drone status, the updating bar on the computer, Lena's reactions to meals, the drawings of previous Handlers crossed out, the person who wrote how many days they had left of service, how Lena is depicted as a pig princess after her first comm etc... The list goes on. For starters, pay attention to dates as each scene transitions. The start is a bit confusing till you realize the one who they're talking about at breakfast is the same Handler. I'm re-watching every episode if they keep the quality this good. |

| :v |
| I don't think there was that much info if you're talking about episode 2 and most of the stuff that was said you can easily figure out on your own from the first episode |
