I liked this for sure but cannot see why it's so highly rated. I felt that the story and execution of said story were lacking despite the entertainment value inherent in the whole spectacle of the episode, with it's beautiful animation and relentless violence. I appreciate the major shift in direction that occurs in the final scene, and I do think that this was clearly the product of many extremely talented people, but for the most part I was not engaged. Perhaps the seventeen minute runtime diminished the potentially stronger effect the story could have had on me. I honestly did not care for the characters and was actually rooting for the villains at a certain point just to see if things got more interesting. So, this episode makes me hope that the show improves over its course while still leaving me largely satisfied from a purely technical point of view.
