Jolly good first episode. I like a death game with some thought. Dark and 'edgy' enough back story that isn't dwelled on enough to make me roll my eyes. Well enough animated action with a kind of rough look to the movement that may be the result of inferior animation techniques, but it looked really good, like a style, to me. Top shelf first episode in my book. I also like that the one seemingly in the most control appears to be the first one to go; I like some good chaos to keep the guessing interesting. Unfortunately, I've seen enough death game series that kind of began unraveling midway to keep my optimism in check, but boy I'd like to be wrong.
