Uhhhhhhhhh okaaayyyy

It wasn't too great... I'm a bit confused overall. Hard to remember these characters...

We'll see if it improves.

So we have a crime scene, that leads to a Police Department, who have trouble with the case so they call for aid a genious guy to resolve. He finds out that theres is something more than a simple robbery, so the masterminds behind that robbery wants actually something else. Meanwhile theres another force, some guy who acts like a vigilante, alone and equiped with some strange powers. Plot: the 3 main forces are connecetd some sort.

Let's find out the potentials plot-twists...

Pretty impressive start I must say! And not that alone but it was mainly because the dude on the cover reminded me of Gordon Freeman that I started watching this.

Either way, this looks quite promising! Looking forwards to see what's next!

what a boring episode, the whole thing felt like your edgy anime checklist

bland boy with super powers : check

some smart ass that tries way too hard to be eccentric but just comes off as annoying , all his conclusions are drown out of his ass but the real reason its only vaguely explained is cuz us normal viewers and supporting cast cant comprehend his genius : check

a bunch of worthless supporting characters : check

also was there really a need for that dramatic car chase scene when we already got the info that the tank is not important anymore ?

Huh I went ahead and watched this without knowing anything about it and I thought it's about a serial killer and a genius detective kinda like in Death Note but I didn't expect the fantasy magic stuff. Anyway it's interesting, already downloaded the whole series, man Netflix is really convenient.

The tank/car chase pacing was intense, action overall quite well done & has more intense thriller feel than AICO, tho both shows have good action. The cool ost really helps.
Keith is so weird.
That girl VA kinda annoying.
Mountain scenery are gorgeous, can almost feel Yurucamp characters in the background.
Plus the villain group & a full moon... man everythings so edgy with the designs & face paint, I'm hearing Kiraboshi.
Plan B, killer B, naruto...

So he's killing criminals just so can senpai notices him not because he thinks they deserve to die? Ehh.

Also like some other user said, it feels like they're trying hard to be edgy.

It was alright I guess. I need to watch more to see if I’ll actually like it, I probably won’t with the way the 1st episode was going but I’ll give it a chance. I’m really really hoping this doesn’t turn into something generic.

Above average start. This is not an anime that I will be able to entirely take seriously, but that's ok. It had pretty good action and a decent setup for the "mystery".

As this is the beginning I've been very wonderful and I liked the character Koku and I'm sure the next episodes will be very nice to me ♥

Fascinating, it feels like Zankyou no terror and Tokyo Ghoul had a baby.

Whats with the 50's relic police cars, just feels a little off.

Keith is amazing but i think that the other protagonist -Koku- is too generic and edgy to care about. Funny Lily. Eh, the animation is great. 3/5

It was surprisingly good. Loved the art style. Plot is decent enough to keep me interested. Some designs were pretty cool.

Also I mostly prefer subs but the dub is definitely superior on this one.

I'll keep on watching a few more episodes to have a more clear idea on it.

loving the visuals. Not so sure about the story so far since it's pretty unclear what its actually about. We do know that this Kuku guy is friends with the police girl. And I'm guessing this Keith guy has his past with Kuku. He lost someone one year ago and I'm guessing she got killed by Kuku or these other guys with Marks. It also looks like Kuku is only killing bad people, which would mean he had a reason to kill the friend of Keith.

Well if you think of the abundance of police anime out there, this show is shaping up to be a fresh take on the genre. It doesn't appear as complex as "Ghost in the Shell" or Psycho-Pass, which I believe is better for casual viewing.

That was... fast to say the least, but it did keep me engaged throughout. Decent start I suppose.

I really like how the OP is more like ones we have in the west, instead of the usual anime openings. Also the ED is a banger whew

I thought it would be a good psychological experience with lot of mystery on it but I forgot about the supernatural tag. It's a bit downhill for me at the moment but let's see what happens in the next ep. :/

Well it was quite a confusing start but I guess they try to make the show as much mysterious as possible.
The main characters can be interesting, especially Keith

Good opening/ED, nice characters and good animation.
It's confusing but hopefully the following episodes will answer my questions.

Interesting premise of murder mystery with a paranormal twist to it. Curious to see how the mysterious detective Keith, the weird group with face marks and the 'black winged king' guy are connected to one another

First impressions, the opening sure caught my interest and terror.

Keith has that definite eccentric, washed-up (yet prodigal) detective trope going on. But I'm super here for him.

The editing is choppy, don't like that much.

Wasn't expecting this supernatural aspect, not sure if I'll be happy about this or not, we'll see.

Kind of already have a feeling who 'B' is but...it's a matter of playing the story out I suppose.

I don't know...

A decent start.
So the actual Killer B isn't who we were supposed to think it was in the beginning (red haired dude), they just wanted to attract the real deal's attention cause they want him to join their squad.
What a coincidence that it's the one who has been the girl's friend/neighbour all along lmaooo
I had to rewatch the ending cause I didn't catch why they were so shocked at first but then I noticed the huge B mark lol

skatensleepKind of already have a feeling who 'B' is but...it's a matter of playing the story out I suppose.

wdym? we are straight up shown who he is, it's not a mistery

A bit confusing but I like it so far, seems interesting. The background music was fitting to the scenes, I noticed. I like the animation too. And I especially love the ED, the art/animation goes really well with the song. They should have made it the OP, honestly
