"The power of imagination is what changes everything"
"............It looks like bullying is the same in all eras. Humans really don't advance, do they. Why don't they just get wiped out." - Ange Ushiromiya, Umineko No Naku Koro Ni 4
"On a scale of 1 to 10, she's an 11, and she'd give herself a 12." -The Voice
"If the events depicted here bear a resemblance to anything you know, or the people appearing here bear a likeness to anyone you know it is but a fluke of history and an inevitability. "
WITCH-HUNT FOR LIFE!

Yeah it is certainly polarizing. Even titles like Berserk that are known for this kind of content didn't immediately show it in its beginning episode/chapter. This approach may have left the community divided but I don't necessarily see it as a bad thing from a story standpoint. I guess we just need to see how it pans out over the season. I have a feeling the controversy will die out somewhere along the way.
Good to see I'm not alone there, fellow goat companion!
I'm really enjoying the anime thus far besides the lack of the awesome classical music from before. But I must say, I'm sure this one would have worked even better as a double lenght episode from the get-go, as we would get to see Wenli side properly as well. I think I understand they are going for a slower approach since they are trying not to overwhelm audiences with the cast size much like the first episodes of the OVA series most likely did for almost everybody, but not going for a full display of the battle of wits was a bit risky, now some fanboys will complain to death the "lack" of things until the next episode, and that's just kinda irritating.
