Predictible Start. Ok so our boy Johnny decided to became a supervillain at the end (which is comfirmed from trailer only lol). Again great Adaptation by studio Bones. I dunno about others but I fell that American Wibes from this show as it is adapted from comic. I hope this anime will be more fun at later episodes. Overall great Experience 👀👍

Ups.

Feels like Netflix wanted to bring out their own "The Boys".

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

This show's amazing. All the reviews seem to be not be getting what it's going for. I think it's offbeat and superb and the animation is just right for this slightly strange pacing and tone , which fits the whole supervillain perspective thing

A kid that old should know the simple science behind the mixing of water and electricity. The pool would be the most dangerous place for an electro boy who can't control his powers.

It was hilarious how Jonny wanted to save people but ended up being a mass murderer XD

The casualties would've been at a minimum if those bunch of people didn't run off naked like that but what they experienced was too traumatic to think straight XD

The superhero debut became too villainous so time to be a super-villain.

That was a nice start. It was predictable but quite enjoyable. Loved the OP. And the music is great too.

Damn, that passing is so slow. Didn't know that you can hack arcade machines by turning on-off electricity.

3/5 start but hoping it will get better.
I'd electric boy's character handled better in future, then it might become a great character!!

Already had a bad feeling when Johnny wanted to debut at the pool (heck even an elementary grade kid would know better) but I didn't expected it to turn out that disastrous with exploding cars and stuff.

People bashing this show almost made me skip it.
This was a banger first episode. I enjoyed every minute of it. Hopefully it keeps the quality.

Ok it didn't really have me here but knowing that he's older and a different voice actor has got my attention. If he was like that kid the entire series would have dropped it here.

Just came off Great Pretender so i hope this is interesting.

I'm going to go against some others in here and say that the outcome of the origin story was not 100% predictable to me. The debut was obviously going to go wrong; electric powers and a pool don't mix. (Hoesnlty, they're in high school. They should have known that was a bad idea.) But I was expecting Johnny to be made out to be a villain after the incident. Torches and pitchforks and all that. But everyone that knew he was responsible (albiet, accidently) was either dead or in critical condition, so he was chalked up by first responders to be an unharmed bystander.

I was very disappointed when all of that craziness happened and his villain origin is just "I can steal money using my power, so that's what I'm going to do." The accident at the pool didn't tie into his origin at all. I know he has motiviation behind that origin because he grew up in poverty and his own mom only sees him as a cock block.

His origin could have been written better with more of a motive behind his reason for becoming a villain. It needs more development. I do like how Johnny and his friend fixate on Johnny becoming a super hero like reliving a childhood dream! It's very wholesome and reminds me of My Hero Academia. The dream never really dies in both universes, except Super Crooks is an adult version of that sort of universe.

Hmm.. WTAF was that opener, I wasn't ready for something so mediocre.. no no something such and so abominably subpar, it's like Netflix wants to create their own "The Boys" on-budget anime. Heroing going wrong was predictable but seriously bro? you showcase your abilities on an absolute pool party like that's a total no-brainer move. Johnny's maturing process revolved around that incident and later he became an infamous villain than a super hero standing for justice, at least a different aspect than The Boys. Great start, expecting a good roll from now on.
