Sounds good, I was debating whether to pick this up. Which sub did you watch and how was it?

I saw it on youtube,i believe the sub was heta-sub or something.This anime reminds me of the western kind of superhero.The first episode just showed glimpses of skull man,and i'm not sure the dog/wolf men are either his summons or his partners.And i don't know why the translator translated skull man as skeleton man or maybe it was suppose to be that way.

Edited:found it on AniDB,its Heta-Subs,a one man sub it seems.

I see, I'll go check it out I think.

[edit]: This first episode is pretty good, has a lot of potential. I'm definitely checking out ep 2.

That's crazy, the whole Shinsen-Subs staff must be on speed 24/7.

Same here, I just started downloading it. Gonna have a look at it. I'm pretty sure I'll like their work so I'll probably stick with Shinsen and NanaOne from now on.

Yeah, the Shinsen Subs people have pretty good taste, and they do a good job. This one looks like it might be pretty interesting too, though it does seem a bit odd to see an anime styled after American comics.

Watched the first episode not too long ago and I thought it was very good, even though we saw little of this Skull Man :P

Wish there could have been more Skull man, and 13 episodes looks kinda short to me for an anime that could turn out to be pretty good

Short and sweet I guess :D
Usually with shorter animes they just get straight to the point (the main plot) which is a good thing (IMO). Hopefully it'll go that way for this anime.

Ya well, I think 25ish episodes is a good amount for an anime, maybe even 20, I prefer to have a good main plot and to really get to know the characters

Lmao, that shower scene. Well, this series sure is underrated and has a strange feeling to it as well. And yes, ending was pretty scary tbh.

Well that started interesting, the setting looks rather decent and the concept is okey, no idea as of yet how the story will be like but lets hope it will be good!

First episode and I'm already loving it. The tomboy seems to have a mysterious past aswell. I'm really curious about the skull man and the dog/wolf thing.

Really interesting first episode. The first 5-10 minutes reminded me of Baccano.

A "period series" following a journalist who traces a mysterious night killer/avenger (à la Batman), with a shady firm in the background? Sold !

I thought this would have more of a noir flair to it. It's still an aight start.

I don't really know what to expect. Seems like it will be decent. One or two shocking twists would make it better.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron
