I'll just jot down my thoughts in the order of which I had them while watching. Be warned; I MIGHT come off as a bit scatterbrained.

-Oh hai, Nora. Aren't you just a big ol' bundle of possible insanity. Twenty bucks says she turns out to be the nuttiest character in a fight, but only gets one fight on screen or something. She'll be fun to watch, I'm sure.

-And Li, good... GOD look at the ponytail on him! That thing just exudes manliness. Imagine letting that thing loose, it'd be a right shampoo commercial. Also the dude has twin pistols that have blades on them that DISSAPPEAR INTO HIS SLEEVES. Is this guy a Hunter or a magician? Either way, he's cool. I like him. Oh and I don't know how but he just rocks the hell out of those pink eyes. Respect.

-Pyrrha... not what I expected at all. Although I'm not too sure what I was expecting. More fire, like you said? What I wanna know is: how in all the nine circles of hell does one launch a spear at a person, nearly killing them, pinning them to a wall by accident? Is Pyrrha really gonna be one of those characters thats "too strong for their own good"? Because for me, that's gonna get real annoying real quick.

-It's official, Weiss is true blue comic relief. There's no denying it. I tell ya, that rediculous lightening monologue did me zero favors in taking her seriously. I just hope they manage to tone it down for some actual character development. Soon.

-Speaking of character development, man Ruby seems more awkward than I anticipated. And yet still manages to come out badass when everybody lines up to get catapaulted at mach 2.

-By the way, I just have to ask: are the people who run this school, uhh, y'know, TOTALLY BATSH*T INSANE? Lemme get this straight; this school's curriculum revolves around these four man teams which are not only formed at random (more or less) but on the second day of arrival and whoever you're stuck with is a descision thats locked in for the next for years? Not to even mention the fact that the method for deciding said teams is to launch the students likecrash test dummies into a deep dark forest, likely filled with all manner of deadly monsters, with no safe way of landing other than "building your own landing strategy". Jesus Grandma, not even the Chuunin exams were this outta control.

-And where the Kratos is Blake during all of this? what, is she too cool to be a canonball? Not surprising, to be honest. She did always seem the type far too intelligent to put up with other peoples crap.

Let's see, am I forgetting something? oh yeah,

-Yang's shades. *thumbs up* YES.

Anyway that's all I have to say on the episode.
