Has anyone checked this one out? Any thoughts?

I'm a few episodes in and I like the premise but I'm not sure on the execution yet. Seems like it could almost be awesome but falls a bit short.

I can't quite put my finger on why that is though.

I love it! It feels like a Checkov's minigun firing smaller Checkov's pistols.

I don't know how it all ties together yet but I'm excited to find out. I'm guessing the reason you feel like something's off is probably because there are multiple disconnected threads that don't cleanly fit together, and that makes it seem a bit... scattered?

Durarara also gave me the same vibe (it's by the same author) since it also started seemingly scattered and then each plot thread collided in the latter half of the season.

I made a couple of posts about it here as well. Hopefully there will be more active discussion threads for future episodes.
