I just watched the first episode and I'm really happy with it. It's more or less exactly the same as the original first episode, but I was expecting that since that was one of the few episodes that was exactly like the manga.

The biggest change I could see is that they actually spent time on the dreams of the Silver Millenium, and they're apparently wasting no time getting to Mercury. If this episode is any indication, they really are going to follow the manga like they said this time around.

The only nitpick I had is the new transformation... I mean it's cool and all, I just don't know how I feel about the CGI.

They also made commecial bumpers for the episode, so I'm curious if we will in fact see it on TV one day.
