So I understand that this show has a massive fanbase from its source material which has received high praise over the years so there was a lot of hype surrounding this.
As someone who has not read a page of the source material, I liked the premiere but couldn't help but feel that it was the missing the 'IT' factor. Many of the manhwa readers have argued that the premiere should have been a 2 episode premiere and I frankly agree. As of now, the first episode felt like just another fantasy series. It's not bad but I just don't get the hype YET. I am really hoping that I'll be surprised as more episodes come in and will surely change my rating if the quality of the show is improved.
Comparing this to other anime that have become widely popular, the pilot just doesn't match up to their level.
I truly think watching two episodes together for this may turn out to be a better approach alas, weekly watchers will just have to wait a few days to see the second part of the initial disaster.
