I am just saying
Everyone saying that the daughter is an idiot is not being fair

Cases like hers are sadly frequent in this world, many women get abused by their boyfriends and they can't leave him for reasons. it's complicated and you shouldn't judge

aside from that, sub par animation aside,the rest seems intriguing and I am sucker for these stories

I read half of the manga 3 to 4 monhts ago however it wasn't as crappy as what I just watched. The production is disappointing for sure, even with the incredibly stacked VA cast. Junichi Suwabe doesn't fit Tetsuo at all. But the voice actors for Kasen, Kubo and Yoshitatsu are literally close to perfect. Aside from that, the character design was done with almost no effort. I was completely invested while reading the manga, but the anime made it seem like some kind of joke although it's decent if you forget the horrible production. The OST on the other hand is quite good for a crime anime with a lot of suspense. Espically when he was on the phone and when Kubo told Kyouichi to investigate.

Tetsuo as a character at first glance is someone who seems like a weak minded person, but his journey is definitly worth following as he'll become a great father who'll protect his family at all cost. On the other hand, his daughter is just something else. I've never liked her and I probably won't ever because of her stupidity. Aside from that, the story was introduced pretty well and a great cliffhanger to end the first episode. 

This should have been a live action no matter what..

The animation isn't that bad, it isn't stellar but it's average enough imo. It's no Mappa of course, but it's miles better than, let's say, the Hoshi no Samidare adaption.

I feel like the adaptation was seriously lacking. The liberties they made, changes from the source, didn't improve the story in any real way. Instead, if anything, it changed the perception of the characters; mostly our MC. While the story, to this point, is obviously the same outcome. The journey to that outcome decided to skip a lot of little pieces, and sometimes add completely new dialogues. I feel like the director is trying too hard to justify the killing, by making her injuries worse and by overhearing more graphic information than the source presents. Idk, just my 2cents, take it or leave it lol.

On paper this kind of setting should be right up my alley. I think the premise of the Story is gripping enough.
Execution feels so clunky, tho.

Isn't the first Episode usually  the one with some budget attached to it? 
Scenes that should be working seemed a bit off to me...

man this was pretty damn great, amazing even. no idea what's wrong with people rating this so low. this is an easy 7.5+ anime.

i really liked the opening song.

the wife is really based. no questioning just pure understanding.

this should be pretty good with seeing how they escape and stay safe from those yakuzas also seems like the man involved in the accident at the start was the father? that's what i thought from his voice.

anyway, 5/5 episode. looking forward to next one.

that was a wild start, a lot happened, I have a lot of questions, I didn't really understand everything. I found it strange how the characters behaved, the daughter seemed very relaxed (except for the scene where she cried for a few seconds), the mother also although MC killed someone etc. that was a bit strange. The episode didn't quite convince me, but it definitely has potential.


What she said! I've been so waiting for this since seeing the previews on a Youtube Spring release video. The first episode did not disappoint. 

I agree that the mother was much too calm; maybe she knew also and was planning something herself. I can't wait to find out.

I should've expected this level of animation quality looking at the trailers, what a shame. This was one of my most hyped shows of the year because of the premise, but while plot-wise the adaptation doesn't look too shabby, the animation quality bottlenecked it really hard. I'll see if I would be able to handle it after 3 episodes and if not I'll probably just read the manga instead.

Wow, that is a fun start to a series. Cool premise, and they do not waste time getting to the instigating event. Pretty tense as far as things go, and I am looking forward to more.

I thought the production values were pretty good overall. The voice acting, OST, and direction all seemed on point. The animation did nothing to really impress me, but I cannot it say it was awful either. I realize a lot of people have been critical of the animation, but I did not notice anything that really took me out of the story (though, obviously, that is going to effect everybody differently).

Out of the 70+ anime I've watched so far, I don't think I ever had such high expectations as for this one. I didn't read the manga (so I can't compare it to the animation), butI've been thrilled to see this ever since the first trailer. 

And I'm not disappointed! Not at all! I'm super hyped from this first episode, even though it was mostly "synopsis animated". 

The great basic plot and synopsis execution aside: I really love the main characters! They all feel very realistic in their actions and thoughts. 
Tetsuo is just an average dad, who loves his daugther and now ends up in this terrible situation. His relation to Reika was beautifully depicted with the piano piece she played for his birthday, but would not play again. And how he panicked on how to "solve the boyfriend issue" was so exciting. 
Meanwhile Reika is a normal teenage girl who is blinded by love and ended up with a Yakuza boyfriend. She'll face a rude awakening soon, as her puberty dreams fall apart...
But my favorite character has to be Kasen. She is the down-to-earth pillar of the family, both super confident and loyal. I love how she was just there for her husband and managed everything when she arrived at the crime scene. At the same time, she has no hesitation to state her opinion. "Someone like that should just die."

The animation might not be top-notch, but that really doesn't matter to me with that plot and characters. Because aside form being perfectly relatable, the kill scene was beautiful, with the distorted images and all. 

Now, I really hope this continues as great as it started. I can't wait to see this whole drama unfold!

Okay, this seems interesting! More than the father, I was more surprised by the mother's willingness to accept the situation there. Certainly not a normal family, right? 

I was expecting something like Inuyashiki, and it seems like it does have its similarities but it will be a different sort of take into the yakuza affairs.

Animation was kinda weird, suspense is real though. Is the dad going to kill the scout-dude too? It will be funny if this starts a chain reaction and he continues dropping people (yakuza).

I'm bit pissed how girls date such scumbags. Real life is sadly full of such examples. What are they even thinking?

Tells about a father who protects his daughter from crime. and kill criminals who threaten his daughter's life. Hemm might be a very interesting story. What obstacles will a father go through to protect his daughter. Oh, I can't wait to see the next story

Me thinks the plot armor is strong in this one.
The Yakuza would have killed everyone already after finding the body.
Mom, Dad and Daughter house fire WOOSH! And the pacing a tale like this needs to be a slow burn,

Not that I don't like the idea of this it's a stretch just like Buddy Daddies for dealing with the real world.

For those who love unique anime, this is probably nice. If they can handle intense drama and stress (which I'm not). My heart literally sinks after knowing that her daughter is dating a gang member and abused her causing bruises in her face. Probably in her body too as it is not shown. I can literally feel the fear and worry of her father.

The animation suits its genre and plot, that's why it's kinda dark.

What about animation and art style ?

I don't know how is the character design in the manga and I'm not an expert in animation, but in my opinion it has a too decent animation for an anime of this style, I even feel that a great point in its favor is that the color palette looks a little darker than what we usually see.

Also one of the things I liked the most were the character designs, especially the main character's looks great considering he is a man of almost 50 years old.

Sorry for my bad English, I hope you understand the idea I'm trying to convey.

I loved that it's a little darker.

Damn, when your show starts off with panning stills of a crowded station and no actual animation, you know the production is going to be shit. I don't think anything that wasn't a main character moved at all in this entire episode. The directing also felt weak. Cutting away from the phone call/murder and then back to it the way they did just felt really awkward for no reason. The daughter is dumb as hell, but a lot of real people are dumb in the exact same way so it's not unrealistic I guess. The boyfriend seemed almost too stupid and evil. Like who brags to people about having no control over yourself and killing women? I feel like more could have been gained from the situation if the daughters doom didn't seem quite as certain but from our perspective, the dad didn't have a choice.

I liked pretty much everything else. Feels like it's really let down by it's poor production but I'm not about to go read a manga so I guess I'll stick with it for a few more episodes and then decide to drop it or not.

i mean the premise is decent but the execution feels a bit off. idk how to say it but it just feels unnatural, the father would think of restraining that guy but killing? and the mom brushes it off so easily as self-defense? i know anime ain't too realistic but these type of shows gotta be more logical. the guy overreacts too much and the daughter is a bit of an idiot, for the sake of the plot i guess.
animation is very subpar but it's only the first episode, i'll see it all the way through.
