I'm talking about the cold opening. You go into the show and the first thing you see is a guy in a tube, a flying tiki witch of death, and the manliest of men get shot in the back by three bullets, a dork in shorts receiving The Man's torn white fedora of manliness, then have the two hide behind a stairwell, epically insert USB DRIVES INTO A BELT THAT LOOKS LIKE A TOY, triggering an explosion, and then a guy with glowing red insect-eyes standing in the midst of it, before you cut to one of the greatest opening themes in the history of awesome, epic, hard-boiled, and cookies. %$#@ING COOKIES.

How are you not hooked, especially when later on you see a volcano-man and a WALKING T-REX HEAD? Granted, I never really liked Akiko, and the CGI was sub-par, but look at everything I listed above. THIS IS ONLY THE OPENING SCENE. It doesn't even BEGIN to scratch the surface of W. Besides, you can't spell WIN without W.
