Pretty good episode, so far this anime looks like a combination of DRRR and Darker than Black. The powers seem pretty interesting especially the MC's. Looking forward to seeing how this anime ends up.

This remind me of K and also Durarara (to put it all). Their superpowers. Not you ordinary detective partner with the Police. and I'm so watching the next episode.

Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

This was perfect for me, I couldn't have asked for anything else. Animation quality, original enough super powers, awesome characters and a light random humour, and even a PI-setting. Wow, I always thought that such anime would be too good to actually exist.

Of course, there's almost the exact same remuneration mechanic as in DTB and the animation and the super powers remind so much of K.

Wow, this must be one of the worst looking shows I have seen in years. The character designs were outrageously bad and everything that moved was drawn so ugly it's not even funny. Also extremely boring. Badly directed. What was up with those Monogatari-esque text cuts?

What a waste of an interesting concept.

The beauty of this anime is in it's "bad art/animation quality", although I wouldn't call it bad art or bad animation quality. It doesn't look up to par with some of the modern anime, but not every anime can have the best possible animation available to any given studio. I enjoyed the look of the episode, it's a beautiful work of art in it's own right. A prime example of this would be Van Gogh, during his lifetime his work was known only to a few and accepted by fewer still. It wasn't until after his death that his work became known and accepted, and now he's considered one of the best artist to ever live. My point, art takes many forms and may not always be up to the standards of some, but should never be dismissed completely simply because it doesn't look the same as everything else.
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

Since I really liked durarara, it's great to watch a mystery with similar style, and first episode seems more funny/lighthearted. ATM talk scene transitioning to robbery was very well done.

That tora mascot in the alley was... random?

Decent.

I think I'll stick with this the whole season, but I really hope the mysteries are more exciting in future episodes, especially the one (it seems?) they'll be working on the majority of the show.

The random nicknames they have are really weird to English speakers.

If K and DRRR had a kid (on low budget?) then hired Get Backers as a nursemaid the end result might somewhat resemble this show.

A decent first episode with some pretty good action. The story itself wasn't particularly interesting... but the characters kept it pretty interesting.

I lol'd hard when he mentioned the car, and it just falls over. And when they're driving it later. First thing I thought right after they got attacked was "Shit... they're already low on money, since they're probably alive what are they gonna do about the car?"

I figured it would be porn mags in the safe, or some other stupid thing.

It was good but what really turned me off was the fact that those college students were prostitutes. Why do they have to show that? I would have forgiven that scene if they continue how the wealthy son reacted on how his father tricked him and so forth but instead, they made it a joke. I really hate that. It's like, hey, your father rents college girls to have sex but I don't care, let's just make a joke about it and not take it seriously. It was a real turn especially how I thought that prostitute girl was so innocent when she was first shown. *sigh* This world truly is remorseful.

It seems I'll be expecting more "nude" scenes or fanservice from here on out.

I get what you're saying, but at the same time it's a show about private investigators... so I kinda expect a little bit of the grittier stuff, since they basically specialize in finding dirty details. It didn't have to play it off as a joke though, that was a bit dumb... but if it makes me cringe I think it's kind of a good thing, because I like when a series isn't afraid to do things I don't necessarily like.

Of course, after watching things like Game of Thrones and Spartacus, that kind of stuff doesn't get to me very much anymore.

Yup. That's just my opinion on that episode which really pissed me off. I didn't mean that everyone should agree with me, just want to voice out my concern with it and if those kind of things continue, I might drop this anime. I really dislike watching anime that won't leave me with any lessons in life or something like that.

Pretty nice, animation style is kind of like Persona 4, the power and stuff definitely like Darker Than Black but in this case instead of Contractor's they are referred to as Minimum (With powers that has to meet conditions and stuff), the doing work for someone its like Kamisama Memochou and it made it feel like Durarara with the mysteriousness.

I like the way that they tried to incorporate comedy about the porn magz inside the safe hahaha.

It is honestly a must watch imo but looking at the 12 episode only... I got a feeling its going to derail or don't have a real story well you know just like how most 12 ep shows fail to impress. But again there are also 24+ eps shows that become sour in ep 3 or more.

But overall I really like it, specially the powers : That gold hands that kicks ass but overheats and needs to cool down to reuse,

The headphones as a payment to be able to attack, attack equally as fast as the speed of sound.

Electric man again (its Hei! haha)

As soon as they said they needed to do an action to use there powers I instantly thought Darker Than BLACK like seriously since I havent seen K or Drrr but have Drrrr just havent gotten to it yet I dont know completely but I did see Darker Than BLACK in the anime on a few other things but just waiting for them to explain how they get them but I hope it isnt like Darker Than BLACK n they thought of there own Idea well i hope at least

Pretty good so far interesting n not so much different but new with new characters to get fond of will continue watching though.

It was decent with hip superheroes
The sketch at the start looked really nice and the case itself was interesting enough to follow

I liked the 30 yen info and the continuous recall of being poor
Facial expressions were lacking at some time it didn't seem to fit the way the VA was working on

Seeing that Porsche being tossed broke my heart
The special effects added when they used their minimum powers were really good

The late father sleeping around with college girls was funny as the content within the safe

It stared seriously boring, the second half of the episode was pretty good however. In short, cool characters and awesome powers. As long as it doesn't get confusing and dialogue heavy... i'm hooked.
Feels like a mix of K and DS2. Two mediocre shows btw. I can see this one being better than both as it goes on.

It was predictable. The whole scene with the evil guy telling them they were comrades because they all have superpowers just to being told by the good guys they're not, was so cliché I'm a little disappointed on this.

This. Also, I didn't like the sudden switch to a black screen with some white text, it feels like it's trying too hard to be special, but otherwise pretty good, has decent cast, good comedy, cool powers, but the mystery was predictable.

Pretty good first episode. The powers look kinda good and I love how the environments become multi-coloured during their use. The visualising sound part was awesome.

I thought the OP would be amazing judging from the music used but I was disappointed at the visuals for it. Same with the ED. Still, I'm interested in seeing more.

So.. Nice is basically Izeyoi from Mondaiji, in regards to looks (headphones) and their acceleration powers to an extend. Also both act nonchalant but are much more calculating than they let on.

It was pretty cool.
I loved the art and animation style, especially Headphone Guy's fight scene where they go from normal to effects to black&white and back.

Wtf dancing animal mascot. Anyone? It was adorable, although somewhat random.

And whose name (or codename?) is Birthday??

And can someone explain what was up with the black screens with white text (like IOW?) at random-seeming intervals? Maybe I missed something?

Also the perverted old man ending was hilarious.

Anyway, all in all, I enjoyed this and can't wait to see what comes next.
