First episode was, in all honesty, pretty boring. Second is more interesting altough I despise the argument presented by what's-his-face (I am terrible at remember Japanese names, much less spelling them out). Because "the world isn't as bad as we think" is no excuse to woefully expect the status quo.
Also, I can tell they gimped the ending theme - something that's pissed me off since Brotherhood (especially given their high quality).
...I just killed this topic, didn't I?
