| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well...I liked the first episode apparently, but this episode just proved that they had too much ground to cover in an entertaining way. The red head annoyed me a lot. 5/10 Seems like it wouldn't make a bad show though. |
| Iit's already finished !!! shame on them , that anime had so much potential but they really miss up the show I hope they will re adapt this into an anime , I think it will be much better |
 |
| He was whiny, reckless and gullible. If I remember correctly. |
| Okay anime. |
 |
| It was a good intro to the manga. If only they do a series since the manga is completed anyhow. |
noteDhero said: He was whiny, reckless and gullible. If I remember correctly. +1 It would be interesting if they continued though. |
 |
| it feels like there should be more |
 |
| I'd be nice if they re-adapted it into a full length anime. |
| I think that this is actually a good OVA but yes it needed more episodes. However 8/10 because I enjoyed it. |
| Loved the short ova series, fingers crossed that more ppl will get into this and this get turned into a full series..... |
 |
| I like it!! It was good and I wish there were more ep! :) |
| That was a decent ending, but I felt like the fact that it was an OVA, and therefore only had 2 eps, really sucked away at its potential. It would've been awesome to see this made into a series. :U |
 |
| I want a full length serie of this, the red haired boy still has to show us why that other guy is so interested in him... I kinda hoped for something like at least a flasback/flashforward where you see he's snapped or so... :) Nice story and I liked the char design, 7/10 |
| Why do people think that the red head is annoying? Have you seen a character that smile in the series? I mean smile, not smirk. He is the only character that smiled, he is like the light in the darkness of the OVA lol, and he's cute too lol.. |

| summary said that Kai goes on killing sprees... I saw him do no such thing. damn you misleading summary!! |
 |
| Well, I'm definitely interested in reading the manga now! |
 |
| 10/10 really GREAT ! it's Only 2 episodes, and they managed to catch right atmosphere and tension of this story ! great SEIYUU choice ! (enjoyed their voices ^^ Tomokazu (Gintoki), Sakurai, Junichi, Jun, Odai, Kazuya !!! OST music is GREAT *o* its amazing how they did such great thinga s classical matching music with this suspense action mystery anime. also the characters and story it really gives special feels until the end, and leaves you curious with unpredicted ending.. I wouldn't say it's a waste its only OAV, cause its soo good indeed because of this shorteness, if it would be long anime series, I wonder if they'll be able to keep with this suspense and intersting progress of story.. so for me its okay if its only those 2 episodes they gave enough, and it's to me like just great short intro to manga~ |

| I enjoyed this. I got a bit shocked when Kai got shot o.o But other than that, I think it was a good OVA. I wont be reading the manga though. |
| Produce more episodes may be a good idea, I think. Kai surprised me, he's more courageous than I thought about him. |

| Why is this not a series yet?! Definitely could pass the other "detective mystery" shows like Psycho Pass and Death Note. 4/5 and 5/5, rounds to 9/10 overall. Pretty good. edit - Also, I totally saw that coming: the part time bishounen turns into the villain. LOL its amazing how they did such great thinga s classical matching music with this suspense action mystery anime. +1 |

| I like this this OVA so much.. Zannen it only OVA. I kinda hoping this will become a series. |
| I enjoyed this but felt cheated at the end. I know it's just a taste for the manga but I'd have liked a 12-episode show. |

I saw him do no such thing. damn you misleading summary!! I'm really really confused about 'Kai's secret' because as far as I can see, he has none! The Kagura guy mentioned he turns into a killing machine but we never see any indication of it?? And what's with the ''key to switch is healthy business?? All in all, the anime left me very confused yet very interested (and therefore highly irritated at the lack of answers). Ditto for a full series! |

However, it was just so damn good, totally got my interested in the manga so I'll be reading it soon!! ^^ Edit: I'm a bit confused as to who killed that Kitagishi guy, but I'd go for Kai!!! Definitely must read the manga!!!!! |

| I'm glad I wasn't the only one that thought the series had too much going on to be an OVA and not itself a series. It had too much potential to not be a TV series, it annoyed me a bit actually. I really enjoyed it at fullest, despite being a bit confused sometimes. 9/10 Another reason I liked it so much was because of it's similarity to Death Note, the animation, musical feel, events spinning and plot twisting, let alone both being in the Police genre gives you a big feel of Death Note if you've watched it in the past. I hope there's another adaption in the future. |
| Uninteresting characters, boring story predictable as well. I really like the opening theme though. |
| I need full animated series not an OVA....:( This anime has great plot ,development of story when I read the manga and I like Naked ape art as well... Well the OP and ED fascinating me, thats all I can say.... Disappointed with OVA since its not full series.... |
 |
| This definitely should have been made into an entire series. Still, it wasn't bad. |
| your waifu is shit |
| Well I guess it was ok for a 2 episode OVA, but it did feel like there should be more. It's too bad there's not an actual series for this, because it would probably be pretty good. But yeah, it did at least manage to keep me entertained for an hour. 6/10 |
 |
| so in the end the killing machine....did not appear. and the death note vibe kinda bores me. but it's still worth watching though, massively due to the lines of seiyuu of course. Loving Sakurai's voice so much |
| Misleading description on MAL... |
| Pity that the anime didnt fit the summary. Lots of Shonen-Ai undertones. The first episode was great, but the second episode became kinda strange towards the end. The story has great potential, I'm considering to read the manga if im not too lazy |
| L had a poster of Norman in his room |
| This second episode was a let down. I couldn't believe a single thing happening on screen. Why would two supposed gangs just agree to hand over power over a single bet? Obviously Kagura/Akaha devised the deal and has a motive, but there is literally no reason for Kuzuya to accept. Somehow Kuzuya had no trusted people until Haru showed up? How did he build up a crime syndicate with such terrible business sense? He stuck to Haru like a sad boy with no friends after Haru pulled a single stunt. If this was a relationship of trust built up over months, the pacing of the anime did not communicate that at all. The whole story felt like it took place over span of a week. Kuzuya is hot and cold with Haru so fast it's ridiculous. Also, with Kai being a meek boy who sometimes switches over to a crazy killer being the main enigma, I expected this OVA to show a bit more than just an off-screen murder/cryptic phone call, but there was no pay off. Lots of drama with not a lot of substance. Not terrible, but entirely forgettable. |
| enjoyed this episode more then ep 1 for some reason, after watching this gonna have to read the manga sometime, story was pretty interesting. |
