lol, I almost never agree with ANN's reviews in general. They bitch about the silliest things, sometimes.
Also, take it from me: Add Higashi no Eden (Eden of the East) to your spring queue. The first episode is killer -- I can't think of anything of importance it does wrong. It will be just 11 episodes, too, so the plot will move swiftly.
07-Ghost absolutely destroyed my heartstrings with something at the end of the first volume, but it's a great series that I intend to continue with. (I was just sick of trying to translate chapters by myself. It'll be easier to listen. XD)
And yeahhh, what? I hate when people assume that a series will be the exact same as its first episode. Kinda reminds me of the people who complained about Dollhouse's episodic nature when it was clear that it wasn't going to follow that formula for long.

I watched the first 07-Ghost ep today and enjoyed it. ^^ I've never read the manga, so I don't know what to expect.
I was rather put off (again) by a review on ANN that gave it a "whatever" out of 5. The person was complaining that not enough is revealed in the first episode. I want to yell at him: "Are you the kind of person who wants EVERYTHING SPELLED OUT in the first episode?! What's the fun in that? You don't enjoy it when a show has mystery that you have to work out as you watch it?" Kiljoys...
