I guess we'll see how Outsiders goes.

It definitely feels a little overstuffed for 10 minutes, what with how all the Zein information is done in an quick info-dump... but, I don't know, I liked that? I liked how busy this thing got, and how instead of the usual Inciting Incident > Plan > Fight progression, we kick it off with Gai and the Ark working together to resurrect Kuroto, and then have to work backwards from there. Like, yeah, it's messy, but I appreciate them trying to go bigger with the concept.
