Only just started watching this, it's very very nice, elements of blade runner, nice artwork and animation.

Gotta take a look at this if your after something new.

Please tell me it picks up after episode 2...

As the first two had me snoring (while the action scenes looked very sharp, they were so few and far apart...).

I like the slow pace, and the sporadic violence

I like the fact that nothing is clear, i'm only 5 episodes in and it continues much the same as the first two, but it's got me hooked.

I really want to see where this one goes.

Looks interesting. I haven't gotten around to watching any yet, but it's definitely on my list now. Thanks for the heads up

I made it through episode two...

Maybe with someone that likes the show it won't be bad (or watching it solo)... But it kept boring my friends and I

I'll wait until the series is done and then marathon it

It's definitely not a guns-constantly-blazing action packed series, it would seem. I don't know if it's because those are your preference, Futile, but I've gotten to episode 3 and I'm hooked

. Just enough action, mixed with just enough story and mystery to keep me more than happy.

As such, I wouldn't quite describe myself as a person who reads mystery novels, but anime with enough of it keeps me watching. This one seems to do a pretty darn good job at that.

I'm still trying to figure out who, or maybe what, the immigrant fellow is supposed to be. Definitely seems to be a central figure to the story though. It's the connections that have me constantly guessing. Paranoia, distrust, deceit, lies, coverups, conspiracy. I'm quite enjoying it, lol. *waits for the 4th episode to finish so he can watch it*

The art is great, and the storytelling seems to be on par. The encode I'm watching has a decent translation, and the dialogue hasn't left me disappointed. Nice eyecandy for a main character too

. I just wish they'd avoid still-scenes for public, populous places (i.e. the mall).

Anyone else laugh when they heard the song they're using for the ending credits?
