I watched the first episode before I went to bed, and holy shit nothing happened... Does this pick up anytime soon?
I honestly felt like there wasn't really anything going on other than character introduction. It didn't feel like there was any action up until the end when they started using that cutting thing and got attacked.
Don't get me wrong, I'll keep watching it, but that first episode was very slow to me.

Watched some more of it (I'm at ep9 now) and I'm glad I did. The cgi does put it off a bit for me since it makes me feel like it's really framey, but overall it's really good.
