I'd sure watch the show! Nice use of intrigue as to the story and the music is a great match as well. The anime style looks good, if maybe lacking the greater line width variations normally seen in the style, but really that's a minor point.
How did you do the scene at about 52 seconds? Looks like actual video merged in of a person doing some kind of martial arts.

I'm a newcomer to animation but IMHO rigged animation is a pain in the a**s and takes forever even for simplest movements so for a single animator it's impossible to animate everything (rigged) if you want to be turning out projects at a reasonable rate so a critical skill is knowing where and how to substitute switches and layer operations for animated rigged character movement. You do this extremely well. I can't even tell if your rigged or not the nice hand movements (around :49) and as you scroll through the characters (around :55) using switches I assume for face turns and use camera/layer movement to make them fly by like they are coming over top of a hill your video moved quickly and kept my hungry eyes interested at all times, I can learn many lessons from watching your video. There is so much good stuff in it and not a trace of the kiss of death which is the viewer's eyes getting bored. Also just plain old great artwork goes a LONG way and I love your artwork it's great. I always throw out one nitpick cuz I want others to do the same for me... around 1:13 the birds move as a solid mechanical formation of exact copies if you take a group like that and replace just two or three of the group with switches that move around a little (don't even have to rig) it makes the whole formation look more (organic) real.
Great music ties in perfectly with the scenes, keep up the GREAT work and can't wait to see more!

Someone's using Anime Studio to make anime? That's crazy.
Wow, agreed about the pass to fix the line width, that looks great.
