All Narita works take some time to click because of the big casts, but when you are familiar with the characters and their motivations it really starts going.
I love it! It feels like a Checkov's minigun firing smaller Checkov's pistols.
I don't know how it all ties together yet but I'm excited to find out. I'm guessing the reason you feel like something's off is probably because there are multiple disconnected threads that don't cleanly fit together, and that makes it seem a bit... scattered?
Durarara also gave me the same vibe (it's by the same author) since it also started seemingly scattered and then each plot thread collided in the latter half of the season.
I made a couple of posts about it here as well. Hopefully there will be more active discussion threads for future episodes.
