i watched the first episode and it gave a good impression. loving the whole concept of the setting and all. the dystopia of the flawed criminal justice system.


i just dont like the characters. Main character looks really weird with the eyes and the haircut. like a cross dressing tsuna from reborn, (i know the mangaka was the character designer) the mc is not moe at all.... if they had a mc look more attractive i would have enjoyed watching her more.

i think the point is to not make the characters look overly attractive so that you can actually pay attention to the things that matter in this show, like the story and the actual character interactions.

Just finished episode 9

Love the series so far.

Pretty intense. I honestly wasnt expecting it to be this exciting.

Faith in anime restored.

Glad theres still a few hidden gems underneath all the rubbish anime.

Didn't I recommend this show to you awhile back in a thread asking for recommendations of recent psychological shows?
If not..never mind.

But yeah, it's pretty decent.

Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is.

Its a psychological rollercoaster.

But its sometimes too pretentious with all the philosophical referwnces. I hope they fix/develop that later on.

The MC isn't supposed to be moe. In fact, for PP, the word moe is banned in the studio because this isn't that kind of anime.

I know. But it seems like the character designer wanted to go for moe and badass at the same time, and ended up with this abomination!

And they have done a truly impressive job at that.

Not fair how they got plenty of fanservice to feed the female audience (e. g. Kogami with no shirt on, yaoi momentz, etc.) , but starve the predominant male audience! =)

I don't think the "fanservice" for Kogami was intentional. I'm glad they're making an effort to not focus on moe and fanservice. It's nice for once not having to watch tentacle porn or big breasts bouncing around for no reason. The focus on story and characters almost feels alien compared to other shows. It reminds me of the good old days. Except in those days, the stories weren't nearly as good.

I swear I'm the only person that likes Akane's character. I don't mind that she isn't "pretty". No offense but in the real world, not all Japanese women look like idols. Kudos to Production I.G. for not swooping to that level.

You're not the only one.

I even find Akane kinda cute, quite my type of girl (even if she's too idealist)

I love Akane and I think she's gorgeous. Now that she's gotten some development I hardly see hate for her around the forums.

Don't know where you're getting "yaoi moments" because I sure as hell have not seen any. The noitamina anime block is supposed to appeal to females; that's why they always air josei anime like Sakamichi no Apollon and Natsuyuki Rendezvous.

Yea, because the number of harem and moe shows you get each season are never enough for the males.
Whereas females get only a handful of shows each season.
And why would you say the predominant male audience? I think this show can be enjoyed by both males and females alike.

I can't believe this anime has become one of my top list to watch this year even though nobody watches this as they were after my Guilty Crown abomination last year.

I love the main characters especially Akane. Well, I agree that her eyes look somewhat "different" or weird as you said but that's just how the artist, Amano Akira drew some of her female characters. It would be nice if her eyes look slightly like Chrome Dokuro but still manage to keep that lazy, mysterious image.

Six episodes in and I am finding the setting very interesting. I guess it would be classified as Cyberpunk. I'm becoming a real big fan of that type of setting.
Hoping I soak up enough game to play three systems with one controller

Her character is really good, I just thought her design was a lil' meh.
