Let's stick to the topic at hand shall we? Because if you're saying stuff like
Erious, you are completely incapable of seeing flaws in shows you like, and incapable of seeing good things in shows you hate.
then you really make me want to ignore you.
The quick 'series overview' type of sequence in episode one was awesome, though it doesn't seem to be playing out the way it showed at all.
...I take it that you're talking about the sequence showing events that took place
prior to the start of the series? If you mistook that for a preview of things to come, then no wonder you're disappointed(though it's not impossible that those events will be revisited later in the series)
And yes, this series is as straightforward as possible for that kind of show. It's hard to even explain, because there's literally
nothing to explain, other then describing the plot itself. You're telling me that characters
interacting with each other is somehow out of place/hard to understand/whatever? Yes, this show doesn't have constant action. Yes, this show relies heavily on dialogue.
So what? It's okay(I guess) to dislike that, but it isn't a bad thing in itself. It's like saying that Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is a bad show because it doesn't have a story.
This show has great artistry, great writing,
brilliant direction, and fairly interesting story so far. You point out lack of the story as a supposed flaw, while it's clear that you just didn't put
any effort in understanding it. Not that there's really a need for effort there, but if you've saying you slept through it then I don't really know what else to say. Maybe your attention span is just too short or something, I honestly have no idea.
