As with any anime that's only aired one episode, it's hard to say whether future episodes will be worth checking out. That being said, if the remaining episodes can manage to keep up the enjoyable, absurdist humour that the first has offered, then Arakawa Under the Bridge should be another enjoyable series for this year.

The art in this anime was generally quite impressive; the animations flow nicely and drawings are polished and detailed. The same can be said about the sound as well, with the music and effects suiting the light-hearted feel of the story well.

Kou instantly reminded me of 'Zetsubou-Sensei' (regardless of the fact ... that they have the same voice actor) which was nice from a SZS fan's perspective, but the two other characters that were shown in this episode (Nino and 'The Chief') both felt like characters you might've seen before somewhere else, but with something new and fresh that keeps things interesting.

Generally speaking, the first episode of this anime was pretty enjoyable and I hope I can say that again at the end of this series because this is definitely a show with potential.
