What a fun first episode. Visuals look amazing, character design looks on point and the story is something I always loved (remembering movies like Catch me if you can or Oceans 11 for example).

The broken english was funny to hear but I'm glad they continued it in normal japanese. The music is very fitting for the theme of the story, so I'm sure this will be very entertaining 23 episodes.

Imagine being Edamura the self-proclaimed greatest scammer and getting scammed by someone like Laurent who is a even bigger and better scammer. Can't wait to see where this will go.

Quite the chaotic start on international level I see, wise lesson: never do drugs kids. Even though not perfect, I wish they continued speaking different languages altough having at leas some sentences in different languages is quite nice.

So far what standout the most in this first episode was the music. It has this swingy, bebopish, cinematic jazz music with nutty sax lines, and these funky/discoesque music with crazy grooves going on. Would say this series might even have stronger bgm than those in Lupin III's. Compared to the crazy instrumental OP, was not a big fan of the ED, but at least it does successfully created a 70/80's vibe to it. The rap in between one of the scene is also a perfect fit of the situation. Overall, the music style is often quite close to what one may hear from movies like Ocean eleven, 007 tone, but also not exactly the same.

Probably the most hooked I've been from the first 10 minutes in a while, let alone the first episode. I think Laurent one-upped himself like 5 times.

Can't put my finger on it but there is something weird feeling about this show that i'm not sure if i like.
Also what's with these con people all using their real names? Isn't it common sense to umm... not do that?...

I'm sure I've angered all the 14yo fanboys by not lavishing on instant praise.

The Engrish at the start was hard to listen to, this is one of the few anime I actually thought about watching in English dub. Pretty mid so far.

That was a really weird first episode. I don't know if this is meant to be more than a regular anime or something so this didn't hit it for me. 2.5/5

I was soooo glad to see this screen you have no idea!
