I started watching this on a whim and was totally caught off guard. I pretty much liked everything about the first episode (art, animation, directing, sound, music.. all of it.) The quality of the first episode has my confidence for AotS, possibly AotY at this rate.

I was shocked to see this was SHAFT, but also not shocked

If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have never guessed it was SHAFT just 'cause of the very different art style.

I'm surprised that nobody's brought up the seemingly romantic aspects of Rei and Kyouko's relationship. Like, there was that very brief flash back a couple of episodes ago where she was taking off his glasses while on top of him in his bed. Or how she wrapped herself in his new futon and mentioned how it doesn't smell like him yet. Or how she was crouched down in front of him and touching and examining his face. With lots of things yet to be explained, it's like they're skirting this complicated line between romance, intimate brother/sisterly relationship, and the abuse that's already been portrayed.

I actually also think that Kyoko harbors feelings of some sort for Rei. When she said, "We lived under the same roof for ten years, but it's like I barely know anything about you," it was said in a sort of regretful tone rather than one of disdain (to which Rei responds with a surprised "huh?") And the she goes and wraps herself in his futon, sniffs it, and says that it doesn't smell like him yet (with the same tone and facial expression.) I mean, she's whacked, but there's something that's not being said from her.

poo poo. Do I want to start reading the manga now, or wait for the next season? October is a long ways away.
