| I was wanting something gritty and this should do nicely:) |
| why does anime need to be weekly :( this is going to be top anime this year! |

| Best stuff I've seen in a while |
| "I'm happy the sex scene wasn't censored" It wasn't shown either. There's really no difference between some shade and not being shown on screen. The scene was still dark in terms of scene lighting anyway. It's both censor, LOL. Anyway. this was kinda bland. Dodging bullets from five feet..... K. The second waves hesitation. Alex's reaction. Yea, this isn't gonna be "spectacular" at all... that OP is bad, falling pills and bondage... I almost got cuts from watching all that edge. |

| Dang lol, that was really interesting! Loved the animation of the OP, but the song was not really my thing. Liked the ED a lot too :D Looks like some very interesting characters ... "deaf" guy Nicolas, Worwick, Chad, the other families, and Alex as well ... nice intro to the duo and seems like Alex will be joining them as well. Pretty awesome when they were just destroying Barry's crew ... well, I mean Nicolas has some dog tags and everyone knows about them apparently. Though yeah, of course the fighting and shooting was over the top XD Gonna be watching the second episode soon, so hopefully this show continues to deliver. Really loving the BGM, but the animation/art got kind of "meh" at times. Hopefully it gets better too :P |
| So so good. Love Nicolas's voice when he speaks. He's so cool. |
| Great episode, I remember reading this manga ages ago but stopped because they took too long releasing chapters, better get back on it bruh lol |
| Pretty sweet start. Nice and gory, and it didn't look very censored (I don't know if there was an original source so I can't say for sure, but it looked fine to me). Looking like an entertaining watch. |

Hating on a good show just means you're trying too hard. Just stop. |

| Intro is alright... Background is alright... Animation is alright... The characters though are awesome! Nico is such a badass, Worick is the trash talker/Nico's voice and Alex has plenty of plot. |

| I like. I very like. Very good. Quality content. Yes. |
| Very enjoyable watch, I'm digging the two Gangsta already, and can't wait to see about their backstories. Especially about Nicolash. |
 |
| Just living up to its name, ain't no big thang. Seriously that was an awesome start. Nicolas is a bad ass. Man of few words but when he speaks, he lays down the law. I like how this show is already tackling the heavier subjects like prostitution, really felt for Alex and glad she got picked up by the Dogtags. I'm also sure that smoked out the otaku who can't stomach a main character not being the pure waifu girl who has yet to hold hands. |
 |
| Nicolas is intense, and he has a great voice. Loved the OP and EP. Finally an anime without any weak emocore crap. Off to a good start. |
| Well i saw gangsters and a hot chick so i thought to pick this up. The art style is nice. I like how the characters are drawn. The hot chick really is hot as hell(be better if she wore something else). Kind of disappointed by the overall setting though. Clean up overly strong guys with connections that just take jobs saving the prostitute girl. It seems so banal. I was hoping for something more. Hope the plots isn't just them taking jobs and taking part on some mafia war only. |
| This anime is giving me some Black Lagoon vibes and I'm liking it :) |
 |
| Really enjoyed this episode. The music was really good and characters pretty interesting. Coloring and design with the music kinda reminds me of Bebop. I hope they keep the girl ;P Really interested in what a tag is too. That part where he finally spoke was really well executed. |
| This is gonna be epic |
| Holy shit, I didn't even realise it was out until today. Shame on me. Anyway, I love the visuals in the OP, even though sound wise my votes most definitely goes to the ED song (it's like, really really good). Just like the start of the manga, that first episode really was nothing special or spectacular, but the characters animated especially Alex, good Lord I swear she's too gorgeous for this universe look great. I'm also satisfied with the choice of seiyuu : Nicolas's is creepy af, just like I pictured it, and Suwabe Junichi pretty much representing the epitome of sexiness as far as male voices go, I could only be pleased to hear him voice Worick. Looks like it's gonna be a fun ride. |

| Okay so Nicholas IS deaf but can talk when he has to. I've been waiting for another serious and bloody show like this. Absolutely loving this so far. |
 |
| I approve of this. Stereo Dive Fondation makes it all the better. |
  |
| I like how bloody this anime is. Nice pilot ep. |
 |
| The hype of sort of real, but why the fuck wasn't anyone hitting him when they shot over 10 times. I expect the cool action effect to wear off quickly, so there better be some plot plot. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Awesome stuff and nice start, always love watching at least ONE of these type of series every season :D |
 |
| Man I feel sorry for her. She had no other choice to but be a prostitute and gang member. Well she's free from the gang now |
| now that's what im fucking talking about. I've been missing this in my life. The hip hop makes me reminiscent of my older days. Tsutchie on the OST, fuck yeah. This is so badass I got chills. Nicolas and Worick, huh. This should be very interesting. |

| Great production value, no bs censorship when it comes to gore or sex, overall good writing. I liked it. |
| Very nice, nice that somehow they saved Alex from being a whore. |
 |
| Cool Episode |
 |
| and I was thinking we would finally get anime of yakuza life |
| cant help but notice the similarities between Worick and Geralt in appearance :) |
| Great episode, so its seinin and thats why we get to see Alex getting fucked 3 times. So its the mafia style anime after so long |
espirituu92 said: Opening is terrible, I don’t like this song, ending is better, still average. At least music by Tsutchie is really great. I like Alex. I hope that, women in this anime won’t be shown only as cooks and prostitutes. The scene of Nicolas fighting with Barry’s gang was ridiculous. Nine mobsters with loaded guns just stand and beg for mercy instead start to shoot. -3/5 for starters. Opening is great for some people like me who like edm.And about the part where they begged for mercy,its because nico is a dogtag,you should watch more before judging it as to why they dont shoot.they already knew they were dead from the moment they saw the dogtag |
| Awwww yeah that was dope. The setting, the atmosphere, and the characters already got me hooked. Why no subtitles for the sign language though??? shit |

| Really fantastic episode and OP. I had to rewatch it again for that awesome song. Love everything about this ep so it had a great first impression on me. Can't wait to watch more. |
| This anime is mind blowing. i love it. Best unique anime i have seen in a while. |
 |
| Nic's voice is too normal in the dub, sounds like a drugged up stallone to me. Alex's voice doesnt seem to fit her either imo. Pretty good action scenes and no holding back on the blood / gore. Me likey |

Pretty good action scenes and no holding back on the blood / gore. Me likey 1. The original voice was so slurred they gave him subtitles. Dub doesn't have that option. Also, who cares how "normal" it is? Like, does it REALLY matter? 2. This one always intrigues me: people say a voice doesn't "fit" constantly. WTF does that even mean? How does a voice "fit" a character? They have whatever voice you give them. I mean shit, look. |

| woahh the OP is really on point and the guys look ''older'' but they still got it . it was very refreshing to see something different |
| ♥ (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ ♥ |
| This entire episode from start to finish kept me intrigued. Excellent first episode for me. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| The OP and ED is awesome. They did a great Job. |
