| Just watched the first episode and it was pretty interesting. |
 |
| though we all know who he really is, its still kinda funny seeing him randomly pop up out of nowhere (with all his stuff too) and just be like "hello, funny seeing you again" |

Captain said: Totally the way a first episode should be told. This. This episode reveals almost nothing, but it leaves with too many questions. Like, let's say - the fake stars. Or the matter about these contractors and dolls. Well, of course I don't expect to see these stories told so early. The pilot episode is really nice. The art style is kind of cool and... fancy? I felt great when the blond guy said that the contractors aren't humans with normal personalities, not to talk about the "dolls". This will make the story better imo. Lol at the stereotypical afro. And lol at the strange(for an anime) names. Especially Li. |
  |
| Cool stuff, nice change of pace for me. I like the ED music. |
| Such junk... |
| This series will definitely be exciting. I can't wait for the secrets to unravel. |
| Looks like I've found myself a series. Hei is great already, I like the whole double-life aspect and how he's not an immature fag. He gets the job done while winning the girl easily. |
 |
| Very interesting show, will watch the next episode soon. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Something I'll really enjoy. Hei is all kinds of awesome! |
 |
| i can already tell this is going to be a great series, i really enjoyed the first episode, bring on the next one! |
| I dont understand anything. Nice ED tho. |
 |
| Hei is badass. |
 |
| Smooth move Hei. |
| It starts off really strong. Love the story already. |
 |
| A tad confused, but the opening is really good. :o |
| Interesting start of the series has a nice dark atmosphere around it and seems to have a decent pace, the current characters are bit messy not sure who is who but well it seems quite interesting! Lets see what this anime has to offer! Lets see if this is marathon material! |
 |
| after rewatching it countless times, noticed his door number was 201 =3 |
 |
| I love the facial expression they all have at some points and the red eyes the contractors have and of course his mask expect a lot |
| "When a flat-chested loli hugs you, she holds you closer to her heart" "--I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight towards its target."  |
| Well knowing the praise this anime gets, I'm sure it'll get more interesting later on. The first episode didn't give me that much of an impression though. It wasn't boring per se, but just...didn't fully catch my attention. Looking forward to learning about the contractors, and Hei too. He looks very mysterious. |
| Woah that was really good! Looking forward to the rest! |
 |
| It seems interesting but I didn't understand what was going on. I'm sure that answers will be given in the next ep. I already loved soundtrack especially the ED. |

| The ED is beautiful. Gorgeous music, gorgeous singing. Not that into the art... All the males have solid eyeballs. O_o Anyway, I somewhat liked this first episode, so 4/5. It's boring at times yet I got completely engaged into the plot and atmosphere halfway through. The MC and the orange haired girl are really interesting and the directing is really good. Although, I'm really confused right now, I think I'll keep watching for sure. |
| Great first episode. I'm hooked! |
| This anime is so gritty and classy. Love it |
| Wow, that first episode was pretty awesome! I liked Li's personality, and the mystery that surrounds him. Oh, and his mask. It's just amazing. I'm looking forward to whatever's next! |
 |
| Gonna watch this, it's packed with enough action to fit in with other animes I'm watching currently that have less action. |
 |
| I was sceptical before I started this, but it definitely has my attention now. |

| Checking this out after a blog recommended it and it seems pretty interesting so far. I'm gonna need a few more episodes before I get hooked, but this was a nice start. Almost feels like the set-up for a good noir. |
| Nice start! Great art and the story seems very interesting! |
| does Hei have a split personality or something?? anyway that was a great and very interesting 1st episode |
 |
| i was reccommended this after watching code geass and the first episode makes this series seem promising so i'll watch it hopefully it lives up to its hype |
| Li has been in town for a single day and already looks like hes in the middle of something pretty big, question is if he wanted to be in the middle of it from the start?... |
My Candies:     |
| dam i can tell this is going to be an amazing watch jsut from the first ep!! |
 |
| I like Li's eyes, they are like a void. Says a lot about him if you pay attention. |
 |
| I have mixed feelings. It totally wasn't awesome. To be honest first half was boring as hell. I hope that it will get better. 2,5/5 |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| seems cool |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
Arkthur_us said: I like Li's eyes, they are like a void. Says a lot about him if you pay attention. I heard an interesting theory that this is to represent the night sky that is full of fake stars. Hei's eyes are an empty void just like the false night sky. |
| The afternoon has gently passed me by The evening spreads its sail against the sky Waiting for tomorrow Just another day God bid yesterday goodbye... |
| First impressions so far are. . . meh. Don't feel like the first episode has 'hooked' me. I see why I dropped it a year ago. I am going to stick it out and finish the series this time though. Atleast it seems the MC has some discernible character to him, and isn't a cookie cutter anime caricature. The red headed female (damsel in distress) is already annoying me, I hope she isn't in it for much longer. |
 |
| Some action there and here let's see next ep. |
 |
| Hmm he already kissed the girl it usually takes ages before a main character does that. :X |
 |
| And so we begin what has been called Chinese Batman... |
| Not a bad start all, the MC is already to my liking. The ED is really great by the way! |
