edit - Aero - Ga-Rei Zero - Episode 03 - h264-848x480 mkv
response to above:
basically the girl who killed the squad in the first episode is the same girl who does all the killing in episode 2. (i think). She's the girl in the flashback in episode 1 who is screaming at the gunslinger to kill his girlfriend (Aoi). This would match with what the Head of the Environmental Agency says in episode 2, that she was once one of their members.
She appears in the flashbacks in episode 1, but the group in episode 2 is who she's connected with the most. She's the older sister of the other school girl (who she kills at the end) and she was engaged to the guy with the ferrets. She might have been part of that squad, from the expression of recognition on everyone's face when she appeared.
So, yeah, the question would be, for me, if Aoi is still alive or not?
edit yet again - well, episode 3 answered a shit ton of questions. (i was slightly wrong on some points in my above explanation) It was entirely different from the first two episodes, but i still enjoyed it.
Although, now I wonder... if they chose to flashback from that moment, I can't help but think that Kagura isn't dead after all. I mean, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to start a show off with one main character killing the other and then flashbacking... would it? Would it?
Also, plane crash guy is the white haired devil's father? Wonder if he'll get a flashback? Maybe this show will just keep going in reverse until we get the origin? Clearly, this episode 3 has thrown me for a loop, because I have no idea what to expect.
Finally, one thing I love about this show is that there's no OP. Nothing given away by stupid music videos, and we slide right into the show. There's also nothing ever shown at the end, just the title of the next episode, which I think is great. A truly good show doesn't need some cheesy teaser preview that'll spoil 20% of the next episode just to make sure people show up to watch it.
