How much usually gets revealed and established in the very first episode of an anime? Like I said, we've only seen 37 minutes of the show. That's a little over the time that a single episode of an anime usually is. So basically, we've only seen one episode and a small part of another.

We need to stop looking at it as "They've released five episodes" and more as "They've released the equivalent of a little more than one episode." Even if we take into account "We've watched a 12-minute episode and four 5-7 minute episodes," saying "They've released five episodes" still feels bigger than it really is.
