Seems a bit dull.

Hello,

I have seen the first two episodes of Stand Alone Complex, I love the setting and the animation and action scenes are fantastic. However I felt that the plot of the first episode was dull, because once it was established that you can hack in to the minds of robots and that brains can be artifical and transported, there was no longer any mystery or surprise with the events that unfolded.

The characters seemed way more shocked or surprised by the developments of the investigation than I was, and it lead to an arrest which had little climax at all.

The second episode, straight away I knew what was going on by applying the logic of the first episode. It was too obvious what was happening and waiting for the police to figure it out was dull. Thankfully the great artwork and chase sequences kept my attention and were fantastic.

I'm on the 3rd episode now and my only criticisms so far is first there doesn't seem to be as much philosophical debate as in the films and second it's set in the daytime, I find most of scenes in the films where set at night or maybe i'm mis remembering but yeah apart from that I'm enjoying it.
