I opened this with an open mind, but it felt dead and AI immediately to me. Neural Viz, however, had succeeded in making things I find watchable all by himself[0] by working around some of the current weaknesses and by having stellar human writing. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it seems he got burnt out from doing it all alone so it's been a while since the last upload. The Remo Green one is my favorite[1].

Episode 1 is. He's getting better at this. By episode 3, the characters have come alive and the scenery is really good.

What? In episode 3 at 0:30 he's coming out from a waterway to a junction but 5s later there's a wall standing exactly where he came from. The characters are horribly bland, there's no weight or fun to him surfing the water, he's stiff as a statue on it when a protagonist on a board usually is depicted as really skilled on their vehicle of choice.
Not to mention that all of the imagery has this oversharp AI quality to it + there's random blurring happening all over the screen at random locations, presumably because the video generation is happening in 5s intervals.
The dog-like creature on the ship was a fun addition but for some reason there was this long awkward silence before, during and after Kuno pet it.
If this is your definition of an alive character then I suggest you go read some quality books or watch quality series made before 2022.
