----------------------------------------
Well, this was an interesting first episode. It looks like there's four main pieces to the puzzle - the citizens, the immigrants, the robots (autoreivs), and the monsters. I was following the story pretty well until the end of the episode where the two things attacked each other in Re-l's place. How they made it sound, I thought there was only one. In any case, I'm hooked!

Animation is top notch, somewhat confused now (obviously), but still good.

I've gotta say, very good first episode. It's really well done, and the animation is spectacular. Also I was happy to hear Radiohead in the ending.

The first episode is great. The graphics, the animation is very well done. I also like the "meshing" of 2D animation and CG, blends really well. I got the English dub of GeneonUSA and Re-l's English seiyuu's got attitude and spunk to match her character!

Btw, I think her virtual notebook with matching virtual post its are a pretty nice touch!

wow its only the first ep and its already full of intriguing mysteries, epic short battles, and amazing ways of only making me even more confused by the end of the episode.

the animation was very well done i liked it.
loved the ending song too.

It is very hard for me to evaluate this episode, because it was little bit confusing. But the animation was great. 3/5

Vincent seems like a pussy character, and I dislike characters without eyes as well.

That aside, veery intriguing first ep.

Enjoyable episode. Like others not really sure what going on yet. This may be a little too sci-fi for my tastes with the robo-droids, we'll see. Nice end song brought back old memories.

The graphics and animation are top notch but the plot seems pretty confusing for now. There's a lack of futuristic anime series set in utopias, the few seem to be films like Ghost In The Shell etc. so I'm looking forward to the rest of this series.

Majorly confused, but madly interesting. It was awesome. I double-taked, tripple-taked, and quadruple-taked over the episode, and then I 100-taked when Radiohead appeared.

Confusing as hell with pretty much 0 exposition, causing me to go WTF quite a few times--not that I'm complaining. Also very dark and intriguing, with absolutely sick animation.

I chuckled as soon as Paranoid Android came on, funny how it actually fits into an anime. Too bad I don't like the song =/

Ok raised enough questions to end my day with a WTF moment ;p
The graphics are high quality and nicely done. The action parts looked awesome and had cool effects. Everything is very dark and made it even harder to follow what is going on.
Lil seems like a interesting character who seems to know just as much as we do at this moment XD

Wow. The first episode was even better than I expected it to be.
The dysotopian setting combined with elements of the age of Enlightenment have got me intrigued and the art style is right up my alley.
The fight scenes were well choreographed as well with a lot of interesting camera angles.

With only one episode it managed to establish an interesting cast of characters and a gripping atmosphere. It goes without saying that I'm stoked for this series.

Interesting start of this Anime, didn't know what to expect other than it would be played in the future! I hope the story will catch up soon and will be interesting!

From this first episode I don't see any high hopes for this Anime but I think it can work out well in the end!

I was thinking the exact same thing. They both look so similar.

Anyways about the episode, pretty confusing but I kind of expected that for a first episode. Great animations and I really like the BGM as well. Looking forward to the next one.
