My First Impressions: Hard to say the direction it's going in with only 2 episodes, but at least the story moves quickly. The art and animation aren't bad. The characters are a bit 2 dimentional, but then they haven't had time to grow much and the series seems much more plot driven than anything else. <continuing for now>
