| Ummmmm I don't quite get what this show wants to be . The protagonist is so damn pretentious and annoying. There is too much exposition alongside a pretty bad pacing And the art was ugly. I think i will give it the 3 episode rule. Tokoya said: The premise was decent enough for a cop show and to me it felt a little like a light hearted version of Psycho Pass with our main female lead kinda reminding me of Akane from Psycho Pass in her early stages Yeah I see were you are getting at except the fact that Akane was likeable imo |
 |
| Not my cup of anime, even thought I enjoyed the 2 male mainchars fighting the rest of it bored and annoyed me quite some, dunno how I finished the first ep. |

Takuan_Soho said: Farabeuf said: Man, I can really tell that people here don't watch old school anime. This show is obviously heavily inspired by Patlabor. The problem with that theory is that this show is too generic to even be able to make that comparison, this show could be compared to hundreds of different series with even more validity. Almost every army/cop story, and definitely all that intend to have some comedy, has the same "wet behind the ears rookie being sent to join a section with screw ups in it" set-up. As for it be "inspired" by Patlabor, please. The first episode was too bad to warrant a comparison to anything, particularly one of the best robot animations ever made. You can be inspired and still make something horrible. I never said it was good, LOL. |

| Mixed feelings about this. We'll see how it goes. Blue haired girl is hot |
| Seemed OK, but nothing better than that. I'm loving the character designs. |
 |
| Wow, as expected mal's shitaste is agravating. So far good. Nice premise of light hearted police show mixed with tokusatsu and satire for bureaucracy. Where do you see Classroom Crisis in this? They are all adults (Kazari is 19, you need 20 to be considered adult in Japan). Also, stop whining about undeveloped characters after ONE episode. |

| This was a very average first episode, but I didn't find it boring so I'll stick with it for now. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| This was terrible. Well maybe it's just this episode but some of the characters where just way to annoying and some of the developments during this episode didn't make sense. I mean how would 16 year olds be able to obtain what seemed to be military spec weapons and why would the police only have one unit to counter these weapons. Too bring it into comparison it's like a bunch of teens managed to get their hands on a combat vehicle and they are using it too rampage around the city. Then there are the characters. First of there was the black haired guy who was busier with showing of then actually doing something useful. Then the main girl who was way to uptight and as the tent scene suggested a virgin who yells at seeing a bunch of naked man. The rest of the crew doesn't seem to care much about what their doing but they seem to be focused on using underhanded tactics. And honestly this anime seems like very similar to Rail Wars. |
| too much formalities, bureaucracy or red tape lol all their moves needs permission but looks enjoyable enough so i will watch |
| A psycho pass ripoff, the main character is horrible the 3Dcg sucks it's not even funny was boring to watch, dropped . |
| This was a horrible 1st episode and I'm dropping this anime. Parts that stuck out to me as particularly bad: 1. Characters didn't have complete character arc in first episode 2. CG didn't look like robots in Warhammer 40k or Starcraft 2 (made by Blizzard Entertainment), they instead went with more 2D look like, what's the point? 3. The story is just so boring, I went in expecting philosophical questions about duality of men but got "fun" tokusatsu cops in mecha suit, WTF? 4. Soundtrack is just incredibly bland, it's not something I wanted to hear, come back when you can license Drake or Kanye West. Final verdict Police-Academy-ripoff/10 What the he*k japan? |
 |
| Well, that was average af for a first episode. |
 |
| Man time to hear more of Nakagawa's music. Nice start. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| I really didn't like this at all reminded me of tiger x bunny +rail Wars |
 |
| Cast relative to the story is awkward. Midget chief, the girl that doesn't talk, flustered protagonist, etc. I'll give it another episode, though. Can't help but think I'd be better off just rewatching Psycho-Pass or Patlabor instead of following this. |
| Come here just to hear new Akino song, lol.. |
 |
| I have no idea what this show will be about (maybe not only catching bad guys in mech suits?) but it left me smiling so I'm sticking with it. The art is beautiful, humor was ok so far, I'm not expecting much so I hope I won't be left disappointed. |
 |
| I feels like the show is trying to develop at a pace thats too fast. Animation is on point though. Not too sure about the situation their in and the the male characters are pretty decent. Theres just something I dont get about the female characters |
 It was alright, I suppose. Nothing worth mention for now. |
 |
| I feel like this show is basically a "What If" scenario from the first episode: What if Psycho-Pass was turned into a slice of life comedy with mildly serious sequences? The soundtrack is catchy though but more than likely, this is going to be a three or four-episode rule followed by a drop. We shall see. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| I'm not really feeling it. The pacing is really fast and way too action-packed for my taste. I don't like the main brown haired girl who keeps on spewing out random Engrish. She seems annoying. On the other hand, Zakki, Sakupyon and Toriumi sound fucking incredible here. Huge respect! Oh and Hanae as well. The art is really nice, as well as colours. I enjoy the OST, that was a few jazz pieces mixed in. The OP is A++++. I'll watch more next week. |
| Okay start. The main character's eagerness in taking initiative is interesting. Not a fan of the fast pacing; hope it tones down later on. |
 |
| Dat Engrish. Got some Psycho Pass vibes from this . . . Not sold on this either tohugh. Will give it a bit more time. |
"Fuck this shit, fun things are fun!" |
| The heroine is too desperate which is annoying... Nice character designs though! |

| Im surprised so many people are saying this is "boring." Overall, the presentation gave me a good first impression. I really liked the HUDs and UI stuff they showed. Although, it was strange how some things were very modern, and other things weren't. Applying the WillWear "inner unit" suit was very futuristic, as it essentially materialized onto their bodies; but then the outer armor was applied mechanically lol. And the "suspect" girl was bound with ropes in a very old fashion instead of using some kinda futuristic cuffs. And the biplane. I also like the characters. All the Unit 8 members are all chill and do their own thing and always interrupt and ignore the new girl. And the new girl takes things too seriously and thinks she knows stuff. All of these laws, regulations, and other absurd bureaucratic hoops the police have to jump through to do their job; it seems like this is going to play into the story a lot hopefully. Although, it was funny how their mission plan was denied because of an ongoing anime production. |
~my list
| So many characters...so is the plot just a carefree detective story? |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| ill watch this till the end, its rather entertaining 3/5 |
 |
| I hate how many uselesss words and meaning less phrases are used in this director's animes. "Launching, input, output full, authorization" etc might sound professional and all, but its reall meaningless gibberish, and it doesnt add to the story. Not to mention the characters feel so flat. |
| thought the episode was okay, but the seiyuu's voice of the main is really irritating!!!! |
 |
| psycho pass x samurai flamenco As long as it doesn't get too serious and drama filled I like it :) The females are hot ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I like the fast pacing too, not every anime needs to be slow as hell.  |
 |
| This was crazy fun. I watched this episode on a whim, and I think I'll continue with it. |
| It was OK. The cops and railway pursuit did made me think of Rail Wars! I guess this is more comedy than mecha, sci-fi, police genre. Will watch for more engrish. Se-rious. |
 |
| "Are you serious?" It's probably going to try and tackle something serious later on since it's this director. First episode was super hyper though. o.O |
| Why the hell people are comparing this to Psycho Pass. It's a completely different show. Oh, so it starts with a rookie being assigned to a Police division. And? That's pretty much the start of a big chunk of police stories throught the world, not just in anime. As mentioned before, this show has more similarities with Patlabor, given that the suits the criminals used were developed for civilian use and with Cybercop. Also, please don't spout power rangers. Go google Super Sentai. AND Super Sentai isn't a genre as mentioned before. It's a franchise. This show is tokusatsu inspired, but has no inspiration on Super Sentai. It's inspired more in Cybercops and in some Metal Heroes. As for the show itself, the characters are pretty generic for my taste, but I came for the action and the setting and that was ok. Will see it. I just hope they take more inspiration from Patlabor and do a great show. But all teh fujoshi baiting and fan service kinda make me a bit concerned. Though Tiger and Bunny had tons of fujoshi baiting as well and it was good. |
| The amount of Engrish in this anime is making me feel weird and tingly inside. |
| I can already tell this show is going to piss me the hell off with zero deaths. "We're minors!" ...that are guilty of freaking armed robbery among a sleuth of other crimes endangering the public--and deserve to be put down with lethal force immediately with no rights to an attorney whatsoever the moment they stole those suits. And all that goddamn protocol bureaucracy they have to go through...their rights should have been forfeited the moment they essentially became domestic terrorists. I hate shows like these that have such serious elements, but decide to nerf them by making it kid-friendly. As if blasting people with enough destructive force to destroy a building has no repercussions, only ends up with them with a burnt-looking anime face. Had the same problems as Rail Wars...wars with no deaths, let alone a single bullet wound. The only redeeming thing about this show so far is production quality...but it all falls to shit with the hole-ridden plot. |
| Call me crazy but I actually really enjoyed this episode and I like the MC..She's cute :) |
| I love how people always like to point fingers for disliking these seasonal mechas, maybe the reason I dislike something isn't because of the quality of the CG. I enjoy mecha much more than other genres, but this just feels like something that could have been a short film at animator expo lol. |
 |
| Jesus. It's been a while since the last time i've seen a first episode dropping so fast at this kind of ratings. (Kinda understandable tho, it wasnt really good :|) |
|
| So, a lot happened, and I'm not sure what it all was. Reminds of Tiger and Bunny, which isn't a bad thing. Main girl is a QT. Other than that, I actually had a hard time getting through it. Hopefully it gets better. |
| This wasn't bad, but honestly, this felt more like a second or third episode than a first episode. Also, I don't what you guys are talking about. Sure, the 3DCG isn't as good as with Comet Lucifer, but it's not terrible at all. A bit too obvious, but better than the shit you usually see in TV anime. |
