Ok, i never read the manga nor watched the first anime-adaption. im totally new to this series.

That said, i like it overall, it feels as if there´s potential for a great, adventurous shounen-series.

What i totally didnt like, though, was how the episode kept switching from super serious to super light-hearted. I.e. the very beginning when that ice magician killed several soldiers, and when he met Edward they started joking.
Then later the ice guy kept killing people by freezing them, and in the next scene Edward attempts some easy going fighting.
Maybe thats just me, but they should decide which tone to use for this series, and personally i prefer it a bit more serious than too much goofing around,

Also, WHY was Edward able to defeat the ice guy all of sudden, when he didnt have a chance before? "Oh, you saw the empy armor, now im 10 times stronger" ;-/


Anyway, ill keep watching
