I do not understand the other reviewers of this episode rating it 7+ stars. Its realistic rating should be half that at best.

No story foundation. We are dropped in the middle of random characters doing random things, finding random allies, fighting random enemies.

The premise - bad. The story - worse. The fight - terrible.

Pretty much the only saving grace is the animation style (which isn't my favorite, but it's done properly for what it is).

I understand that in that limited amount of time for the episode they couldn't do a lot of building up and explaining the story, but completely omitting any attempt to do so was a very, very poor choice.
