Actually two copies (or versions?) of subbed Ep. 1 is still up after
7+ days.  If I were Bandai, I'd hire a fulltime intern to track the
number of views and comments. It looks like the two copies/versions
are getting just over 1000 hits after a week.  Not sure if that's a
good sign or not.

Subbed ep.2 is up today.  I watched it with thick skin in the presence
of my officemate.

Well, it isn't limited to the Middle East right, looks like the world over.

And more importantly, "believe" hasn't come into play yet.  So far,
the conflict are all based on materialism (territory or solar energy)
or racio-historical. "Zero-sum game" according to the announcer.
That's an interesting way the story is taking from current
geopolitics.  The common view of today's world is conflicts of -isms,
or good vs. evil.  The view in G00 is more centered around material
resources.  Everyone wants more out of the same limited resource pool
so wars continue.  Is CB only going to disarm everyone or they will
impose fair resolutions to every single underlying problems behind
each conflict?
