The most interesting thing in this first episode was the Blade Runner-like setting of a future Mars.

The animation and sound were gorgeous, but I wish that the fighting robots themselves, and their motivations were better defined.

I felt bad for the singer, less so for the protagonist(s).

Is this going to be a show where we're following the villains?

Yeah, I think this first episode really focused on style over substance. It posed a bunch of narrative questions and provided essentially no answers. I am willing to give it a little bit of time to get to work on the story though. These anime original series don't have a baked-in audience like an adaptation, so I get the desire to try to make a big splash with the first episode visually to hook viewers before doing the less visually flashing things of storytelling later.
