At the very beginning of the episode the guys seem to be a bit on the metro side of things almost leading you to believe that this is going to be some sort of Yuri and then a few minutes later.....
BAMN!

It's Shōnen ....lol :P
Not bad for the first episode. I have always been biased toward shows with high production quality (not just nice key frames but quality fill animation as well) and overall the quality of the animation is what is expected of Gonzo. The Storyline is interesting enough to let me watch a few more episodes without having to rely solely on graphical eye candy.
Glad another anime with potential came along to fill the void of the good ones that have ended.
