    My only problem with the GNU episode was the audio was rather quiet.

    As for the episode itself, it was a typical pilot episode. It didn't really grab me, but I'll say I'm at least interested. They didn't really explain anything, but at least it gives us something to look forward to. After seeing it briefly in the OP, I would have been really disappointed if they didn't show Sumire going into berserker mode.

    It's a goth loli show where the lead has an eyepatch. Kinda hard for me to not watch at least for a while.

    First episode was somewhat acceptable. I mean... they just threw us against Virus from the very beginning, while I was expecting an introductory episode of how Sumire came to work with Ruchia. I guess that will be shown as flashback in several episodes.

    Nevertheless, I'll keep watching just because the character design is good and the story has potential.

    Sumire in berserk mode looks awesome.

    I must agree with Ryl on this one. Gothish outfit, quasi-loli, eyepatch, even blue hair...this show is clearly stimulating my old Ryomou addiction in anticipation of Ikkitousen: Dragon Destiny so I had to check it out. The missing words and other errors in the subs we're annoying but the story seems to have enough potential to be good.

    Somehow I felt like I had seen this all before...

    Well, I might keep watching this just because of Ruchia's different coloured eyes. That always intrigues me. Otherwise I was really surprised we didn't see any introduction whatsoever. Like RyougaZell I was expecting them to start by showing how Sumire joins the company, and thus I was somewhat disappointed with this manner of launch.

    Hmmm...
    Sumire is a normal girl who sees what others can't...
    Ruchia comes into her life and gives her a mean to fight Virus, who are "dead people" who hunt the living.

    Ichigo is a normal boy who sees what others can't
    Rukia comes into his life and gives him a mean to fight Hollows, who are "dead people" who hunt the living.

    Do I see a pattern? Even the name...

    Need more?
    Berselk Sumire... Hollow Ichigo.

    LOL!!!
    Still I'll check out new episodes just because, like I said before, I like the character design.

    pretty much how i felt my bigest problum is i dont like Sumire at all i hope they flesh her out soon, other then her berserk ability she kinda buggs me as it stands
    Favorite Gotwoot Mod moment: "Why is everyone in that show black? The art and music are pretty good, and the voice acting is alrite as well......but i can't stand that guy who follows afro around. Hes so, well, black, for the lack of a better term (well thats not true, there is a better term, but i wont use it here)" Assassin

    i was raised by this woman =O

    The whole thing is very boring to me, and I can't stand listening to the VAs. I don't think I'll give this series much of a chance.

    Well, we've pretty much got the entire premise here in E1. I hope there's more substance.
