I don't want to spoil too much but don't let the other reviews fool you in regard a lack of cohesion. This is not an episodic anime. There is an over arching plot that rewards you. Every episode has a purpose. It's not window dressing. My overall impression is it was a little slow to start but by episode 5 I couldn't stop watching. I'm now at episode 11 and cannot wait until 12 as everything comes to ahead. As for it's episodic nature, even without a grander arc every episode is still fascinating on it's own and I think that's what makes this standout.

Don't give up on it. The reward is worth it.
