Now that everyone has seen it on YouTube, what do you think?  Good job
with the fansub, BTW.  Whoever deserves the credit...

Oh ... yeah... a slight chance of spoiler in today's post, for those
hypersensitive to spoilers.  But then... if you don't want spoilers,
just watch it on YouTube!

Hmm that part before the OP plays?  It's a little mysterious, but...
ok I guess it portends a backstory arc of some sort... As hooks go,
it's relatively weak.

AKA fan service.  After seeing the episode myself, well...
intellectually, it's as bad as the synopsis sounds, the characters are
straight out of cookie-cutters, the dialogs are generic and the action
scenes are style over substance.

But the fan in me did get serviced.  So I'd give it a few more
episodes... after all, watching YouTube on Saturday mornings isn't
exactly a chore.

In terms of MS designs, the quartet seems a slightly uncomfortable
mix.  With Exia as melee/generalist, Kyrios as raider, Dynames as
sniper, and Virtues as heavy gunner.  Not a lot of difference between
Dynames and Virtues' roles, but I guess having two gunners in a team
of four is not unreasonable.

Hmmm... the OP pretty much established CB as the protagonists.  So the
bad guys are whoever who "uses violences for their self-interest"
etc... There is at least one dispassionate (?) observer amongst AEU's
ranks.  He's probably worth watching.
