I LOVE this so far! I'm only about halfway through (I don't have much time), but this is such an exciting story! Editing is excellent. I'm not sure how much "kid" stuff was in the original series, but this is very good and not childish.
I'm looking forward to finishing this and starting Episode 2 when you're done.
Once I'm done watching this episode, I'll post a real review. Just wanted to share this quick thought.
Great work!!
