I thought the first episode was rather underwhelming (the opening showed promise though). I didn't really know anything about this show or the manga but based on the opening it looked like I was in for an action show. In typical shounen fashion there was a lot of explination, and considering the shows I enjoy this may sound strange but I thought there was too much explination in this first episode. Also, this is probably an odd comment to make but I thought the show wasn't violent enough. Now I don't need to see fountains of blood in order to be entertained, but to me it seemed like many of the scenes would have benefited from being more graphic spoiler[(an example being the scene where all of the cops got killed).] However because of the lack of violence those scenes fell flat to me and I really didn't get much of anything out of them. Also when it came time for Allen to finally "show off" as many heroes get to do in the first episode, he really didn't have much to show. So ok, spoiler[he forms a big claw.] Kind of neat as a picture but considering that all he does is spoiler[drive it through the Akuma (and even then we don't get to really see that)] coupled with the fact that there was no real eye opener of a fight made the show come off as mediocre. Just my impression of the first episode, but I'm gonna ride this series for a while to see if it goes anywhere interesting. Also just as a sidenote I felt that this first episode essentially followed the mold of the first Fullmetal Alchemist episode (without the great opening scene).
