This arc begins a story that plays an important part in the series as a whole. Linali reveals a little bit about her past during a seemingly trivial scene. It’s something to take note of until later in the series. I found the plot itself for this arc to be entertaining. It will progressively better from here on out in my opinion. Soon we’ll learn just exactly who Road and the others really are. Looking at the events in this episode one could make some guesses, but it’s unlikely they could pinpoint their identity exactly. This story should last at least another two episodes. I’m pretty confident that I will have no trouble enjoying the rest of this arc if they stick close to the manga.
