I kind of warmed up to AnH a bit after rewatching, but the lack of detail or shading for the characters really leaves them looking flat and the exaggerated acting doesn't really help. I only hope that the results they get with rotoscoping get better as the show goes on.

The episode also would have probably worked better if the first fifteen minutes weren't entirely anime original. Then again, Nagahama did say that he did not want a straight adaptation of the manga.
