----------------------------------------
Good start for the show... it'll immediately let you know if you're gonna watch it or not. I found it pretty interesting. The back half of the episode reminded me of Eyes Wide Shut (1999). I'm sure this story in this episode was heavily influenced by that film. Me personally im not fond of the whole Voldo outfit the badguy was wearing. But this show looks to be one hell of a ride.
It was hilarious how he wasnt more discreet with his photo taking..damn idiot. But if something amazing as that happened i guess i can see how he could get caught in the moment.
We'll see what happens next...

9 out of 10 ppl said WTF @ the scene where he breaks the girl's arm :p That was really disturbing, but that makes it interesting, crazy stuff where people go WTF! and find shocking.. I actually watched that scene 20 times :D

I did not really like the first episode.

A few month later I watched episode 2 because I had some free time.
That Episode I liked.

3 days later I'm watching episode 8 :)

It is a good series so far. I wonder how the ending will be!

Agree. It left me in a sort of shock. I didn't expect that in 1st episode of some anime show. Still it's very interesting, I've came to 3rd ep. and I cant wait to see more...

It seems like a pretty interesting anime. It has that dark, eerie style aura that most people would go against. I have the feeling that this anime is one of those under the radar and uncommon type of anime that turn out really good, but don't end up getting any recognition. I'm enjoying it so far, though. Looking forward to the next!

Oh - My - God!

Adults...look like adults! Mature content with characters who actually look mature! Holy crap, I think I'm going to cry! XD

Really though, I like the combination of futuristic fantasy, mystery, & interesting characters (both heroes & villians). Nothing seemed too dumbed down, except when...
There's the right amount of creep-factor to give it a nice twist, too. So far, this series looks promising. YAY!

The first scene, the man talk in Bahasa! It's my language! It's so rare for my country (Indonesia) to be in an anime! It made me quite surprised :D
looking forward to the next!

"Don't make me self-defence you too."
That made me chuckle.

Why... does he get aroused.. when photographing.. that?

The girls arm looked pretty funny after he broke it. Her arm looked like the legs in Special A.

This show seems really fucking gritty.

This gave off such strong noir vibes, all gritty and dark.

So the ending sequence really caught me off-guard since it felt so clean and pure! I mean, OP had a woman licking a gun; ED has an innocent-looking young girl.

I really regret waiting to watch this anime because damn this was amazing! If this anime is going to be as good as this first episode then man I'm going to love it! Let's see what the whole story has to offer us!

Interesting first episode. I pretty much already know what I'm getting myself into by watching this anime. Seems to contain a lot of mature content; It's dark and gory.

That scene where rubber man broke the girl's arm is pretty disturbing.

Hmm...not sure what I just watched lol. Got very Eyes Wide Shut towards the end. The rubber guy was so over the top and crazy. Saiga could have been a little more careful with that photo after managing to infiltrate the club lol. I went into this not sure what to expect...I think I'm still not sure.

What a first episode. This is one I will be sticking with as it pulled me in. I was in need of a darker series to begin.

Rewatching this for the 1st time since it aired... I still remember the little girl arm scene.... over 15 years later LOL! Great anime! Very graphic, dark and ofc has the best OP!

Oh yes- and I still use that "Don't make me self-defence you"...I completely forgot that I stole that line from this anime!

There is something very dark and violent, dark, a lot of evil... hidden behind this first episode that I can feel it, though not obvious.
Anyway ED is pretty grim

This anime is full of weirdos. But that does keep you interested.
