----------------------------------------
Good episode overall, a lot of darker themes with the setting. What I like about this is how the episode really made the rivalry with revenge and hate themes.

The violence is realistic too although I think it gave a good insight about the setting. The era has a good amount of focus about the characters in particular rivalries.

Pretty good so far.
The world is very realistic, and the MC is cool af.

The art could be more consistent, but good first episode.

Interesting, that's all i can say. It's pretty much what i expected from this. I'm not one that likes full blown mafia plots, but maybe this will be a good one.

Considering it's just got Drama in it, still I hold my breath for a second there when they trying to kill Angelo's parent. And now Angelo's become a "strong" person thanks to that experience he got since little.
And that "action" with the Mafia at the Church (or maybe bar?) surely awesome.

Prohibition era huh? Can't go wrong the moonshine, hopefully they also show nascar.

Good start, sad about the mother and sister. Wonder how far into the future the first scene was in comparatively. Also seems like the friend is going to die.

That was an amazing first episode..one of my favorites this season most definitely.

This show oozez potential and OST is also on point. Very rare we get to see a mafia/prohibition era anime and I hope this won't be another Joker Game.

Even though it was expected, it was really sad to see what happened to the MC's family.

I'm really liking the setting and atmosphere of this show so far. I think this will be one of the more promising titles of the season, so I'm excited to see more of this revenge story.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

This episode blew me away, I had incredibly low expectations but this seems to be a much more well executed version of Joker Game.

But the real showstopper was the soundtrack, beyond incredible, not even on of the best of the season, but of the past few years.

Hopefully it can maintain it's momentum, so far this is my AOTS.

Exactly want I wanted to see from this series. Killer style, tone, setting, and music. The main character is definitely interesting and I can't wait to see what happens next. Potential AOTS. If I can get something close to Baccano, I'll be insanely happy :D

Pretty good and promising episode. So it's in 20th century and prohibition era. And there's like mafia and rivalries and selling booze. And did a nice job on laying the atmosphere. So far i think it introduced us to 2 families if I'm not mistaken. I wonder which one killed the MC's family.

I actually loved the episode a lot. It actually went beyond expectations from my end since the previous mafia series I've seen in terms of seasonals (aka Gangsta) was so underwhelming in comparison to this. I really hope they can keep up with the pacing of the series since I really have enjoyed it from start to finish.

I think it was mentioned at the beginning, the Vanettis.

It was ok I guess. I'm not really into the whole Mafia thing, but I wanted to give this a shot.

I can see why people like this, but so far it's not my cup of tea.

Will give it 2 more episodes before I drop it

Guessed so. So since i think his father was afiliated with one of them and when they told him the don was taken out , he asked whether it was orco's men . So logically he was afilliated with the other family. Looking forward to next episode.

I loved it! Probably my favourite first episode of the summer season, I hope it keeps going like this. It felt really western and well, non-anime like though, with the credits and stuff instead of a regular OP and ED. I guess that's what they were going for.

Overall, it's been a very good first episode. Some dark themes were touched, it will have some violence and I hope a good mystery line, but for now let's just leave it there. Everything about the animation and music seems to be on a acceptable level so far which makes this a promising story.

I think what it was was that the father was with one family, but then Vanetti (the father) killed the Don and took over. Angelo's dad was basically part of an old regime that was in the midst of a coup, which isn't good for him. And whatever he was doing, it looked like he did very well for himself, especially in comparison to where Corelo lived. So the dad must have been in pretty close with the previous don.

The Orco's seem to be the rival family of either regime.

Hoo boy, now that is how you establish a defining tone from the onset.

I have a feeling Avilio's character might be the one thing that ends up bringing the series down for a lot of people. First hint was in the way he strong-armed Corteo for his own gain. I just hope that if he ends up deserving to crash and burn, it happens in a glorious way.

Nero, on the hand, seems very likable. He looked cooler with the beard though lol

Um, it was an ok start. First half of the episode is preferable while I'm not much over the second. Sad and almost in tears when the murderer of Angelo's parents happened. OST is nice and I like the time setting.

You expect me to believe that these fuckers are Americans?! These guys are speaking perfect Japanese. This is going to be one of those series where I would 100% want an English Dub.


Anyways, nice first episode. I like the Prohibition era and they're portraying it perfectly, according to my History class. I'm looking forward to what this series has to offer.

Now that was a great episode, and despite the amount of content in it, it seemed well paced. And I always like the old time era themed stuff. This definitely has the potential to be my favorite this season so I hope it's consistently good throughout.

That was absolutely brilliant! Atmosphere, music, art, voice acting, plot. Early candidate for anime of the season.

Agreed (though even if it turns out to have the best story and characters it will still be outmatched by popular stuff like D.Gray-man and Orange) though I only wish the art would be less sketchy...

I've truly lost faith in shows that have been similar to this in the past couple of years but this might bring that spark back.

Music on point and the backgrounds are beautiful. So far it's showing more than telling, good stuff.
I really hope it holds up and impresses me in the end like the others have failed to do.

Looks like we have a potential AOTS on our hands here, as this has by far been the best premiere I've seen so far this season. Very intrigued to see where this ends up going.

Also, was the song at the end actually the ED or was it something else?

One of the best first episodes of the season so far. The atmosphere, OST and tone of the series really capted the mafia movies feeling.
The fight in the bar was cool.

Looking forward this, because this looks promising. Hope it doesn't ends like Gangsta (probably not).

Pretty decent start, They've captured the mafia setting quite well.

Sad to see what happened to the MC's family.
The bar fight was cool, Pretty cool of the guy to quickly use the chemicals at hand to ignite the alcohol.

Angelo seems like an interesting character and that smirk portrayed him in a more psychotic manner. He also seems to be fairly skilled at close combat.

Let's see where this story goes.
