Ah... I played too much today. There is no time to watch the Ep now

Blame Battlefield Bad Company!

Just finished episode 3. I'm really loving this now, to the point where I almost don't mind that it's not exactly the same as the manga, since this is filling us in with a lot of back detail that the manga didn't cover.

Also, they introduced yet another character prevalent in the manga series. By now I'm pretty sure I know where this story is going and how it's gonna end up, but I'll have to see if the actions from the first episode have any influence over the anime.

P.S. the credits song was really nice, though I have to wonder why we still haven't seen an OP from this yet (I'm going to assume it's because the characters they want ot show in the OP have not yet appeared yet and thus it would spoil the story)

oh good it looks like they are going to mainstream this part of the story throughout the anime. Good cause I was tired of it jumping around.

Episode 4 was hawt.

I saw Ep 4:

Don´t get me wrong the series is nice, really. I also so some pics of the next ep and it seams to be the same "time". Eh... I want the old crew back! This guy in the first ep, this cute girl with the motorcycle you know? If they switch back into future it´s fine for me, but I do want that it´s set more in the time of the first two eps.

I don´t watch that much anime and I have the feeling that the only reason I keep on watching are the first two eps. If they were not there with there style, mysterie and setting I wouldn´t keep on watching.

Let´s see. All in all it´s not that bad.

Sadly enough i really would of liked an anime over those characters as well. I really hate the fact that they even showed the first 2 episodes in the first place if all they were going to do was die and have no significance on the overall plot. I don't see any benefit or gain from the storyline with these two girls by showing eps of some random other crew dieing, thats for sure.

I'm really annoyed tbh. I was hoping they would be introduced back in.

I think Ep2 was necessary to path the way for the rest of the storyline with the two girls. Ep1 might made sense if you read the full manga, I don´t know, but it´s like mocking the viewer. They could have easly leave it out.

Nope. Read the manga long before the anime was announced but I have no idea why they got rid of BIKE-FU and her crew.

I do recall reading some time ago that the entire first episode was used as a plot device to throw off fans of the manga who were expecting some sort of retelling of the manga plot. I heard that it was used to see people's reactions and also to show people what they are in for is completely different to what they got with the manga. Apparently the original mangaka said that if they wanted to turn Ga-Rei into an anime that it would have to tell a different story than that of the manga, so they spent a few months planning everything out and how the anime would progress. I guess this means that the entire season is already planned and set out, but I'm not sure how reliable the sources are.
