Why was episode 1 was so different than the other episodes?
Episode 1 was like "fight to survive" but rest of the anime was like "what if steinsgate was aliens vs humanity".

That would be because episode 1 is filler.

The whole fight to survive thing will only become dominant in the second cour (when they actually become commissioned officers). Up to this point, you aren't even supposed to know what beta looks like. it's still supposed to be a military romcom. It's just a bait and switch strategy from the director I suppose.

Supposedly ep1 was supposed to be the infodump to get you familiar with the universe. The intent was for this to be easily consumable for anime-onlies, which failed because of chopped plot for a 12ep season.
