did anyone else try it?

they switched around some stuff, for the sake of drama, but considering how the emphasis is already going towards the night form, I'm pretty pleased that they hadn't include him in the bulk of the episode.

many familiar voices, of course, and decent animation.
still, looks too much 'plot' directed rather than character focus.
it's like they dropped in on the 3rd episode or something.

the absence of the first chapter (bus save from 4 years ago) is hampering the characterization.
I'm going to watch it, I really like the manga story, and I think it can make a decent shonen series. it definitely has great characters.
