The show does have good potential, and the animation was great. It was interesting to see this different angle, however this first episode struggled from a short run time. The emotional beats did not hit because they were resolved too quickly, so there was no tension throughout. Additionally, the story just didn't appeal to me, the concept never peaked my interest as they didn't do anything particularly new with it.

However, hopefully now that introductions are out of the way they can dedicate more time to the episode itself rather than the Watcher. Really, the rushed nature of the episode was a major downfall for me.
