I think what they were going for with this intro was a kind of film noir style. While it got a little dull seeing the clip of the guy walking the streets so many times, I liked the brooding, gloomy nature of the sequence.

The intro has a somewhat unusual tone with its moody atmosphere. The most interesting part was when those jagged lines start to run down the screen (at around 0:40), leading into most of the picture going red. Its not the easiest segment to describe, but it was cool, and Id have liked to see more stuff like that.

The music certainly fits the tone of the intro. Perhaps its the singer, but Im getting Depeche Mode vibes here, which is never a bad thing. And I liked the song a bit more each time I listened to it. Also, the animation is a bit better than it might at first appear. While theres a lot of still or repeated frames of animation, which brings down the score, theres also some nice details in the artwork, good use of colors, and I like the visual effect of those circles of light.

The worst scoring factor is Story because it pretty much all comes from atmosphere. Almost all we see is this guy, uh, night walking. But the intro nevertheless does a good enough job of setting the mood to leave the viewer with a feel for the tone of the show.

Not a bad intro, but it would have benefitted from a bit more variety of imagery.
