Heh, pretty awesome for a first episode.

The real world Haruyuki seems a bit off in terms of art style compared to everyone else. Almost like he's from a different series. The pig avatar is great though, reminds me of dragonball and Ranma. Though even better is the way Snow Black/Kuroyuki cuddles him.

Also interesting things going on with the childhood friend, but I can't quite figure out why Haruyuki is so determined not to let his other childhood friend find out that he's being bullied, abused, and beaten up. They're making it out to be the one thing he doesn't want to happen the most. I wonder how upset Chiyuri is going to get as Haruyuki and Kuroyuki get closer. She's already gotten a bit downtrodden about it.

It was pretty obvious with the end why Kuroyuki warned him not to connect to the global net. Saw that coming the moment she told him not to do it.

This is unmistakably one of the best of the news shows starting this season.
