| What's up with all the cancer female voices in here? First of, the OP starts pretty badass until Miss Autotune starts to add her shit. Then the show itself adds Rem&Ram goofballs with silly, high-pitched voices into a inspection department, wtf? Glad the blue haired woman (General Mauve I think) saved it with 2 short appearances. She definitely looks intriguing. The rest of the episode was decent for episode 1. Little bit of exposition to explain the setting. Quite a fast pace on the initial drama to set-up the further setting for the story. All in all I think this has potential. It majorly depends on how they'll will develop the story from here on and how much time they will invest in showing goofball characters vs interesting ones.

There are already hints of ongoing bigger storyline and this is not trying to sell me on the idea that Japan was just a poor innocent victim in WW2, so its already NOTHING like Joker Game. This. Except Joker Game wasn't really selling Japan as an innocent victim in WW2. But yeah, ACCA is aiming for a continuous story while Joker Game was aiming for episodical cases. I didn't get a Joker Game feeling while watching this at all... Lyfa said: I'm not sure what this anime wants to do but that was really boring and I didn't really like the maincharacter at all. Not dropping it yet though, I kinda wanna know if this anime gets into "action" somehow. I guess you didn't really play attention then. I think it's pretty clear where this is headed... |
 |
| This was so relaxing and has a beautiful artstyle. I'm so hyped for ep 2. |
| Wow this was slow, that episode felt like an hour. It was a bit boring, though I did manage to watch the entire episode without tabbing away. Guess they're gonna end up framing him for the fires. |
| That opening was so freakin' good I had to replay it three times before watching the actual episode. The ending theme was pretty too. The actual episode itself tho, I'm not too sure about...it seems like it might be a bit of a slow burn, but then again it is based on a manga by Natsume Ono and hers are usually pretty subtle and stylistic overall. Found it a bit boring tbh, but maybe that's bc I haven't seen anything like this in a while. I'll see what episode two brings tho ^^ |

| Love the opening so much, I've had it stuck in my head all day. As for the episode I liked it; the characters and world really drew me in even if nothing really happened. Looking forward to seeing where we go from here. |
| Yeah, definitly not going to be for everyone. Personally tho, i love that kind of stuff so im definitly interested by this. |

| Loved it. Everything in this show is fancy and it feels different then anything else I've seen lately. Can't wait to see how the plot develops. |
  |
| I don't smoke but for some reason I liked this anime so far. Jean the MC seems to be pretty cool. I just hope that Rail doesn't frame him for one of those fires now that he has his lighter. |

| Felt like I was watching a western cartoon 'cause of the art style and music. What the hell is wrong with that smoking glorification? Dropped 0/10 garbage |
 |
| The art is unique, the story kind of confuses me and bores me. It's only the first ep so i don't plan on dropping it yet |

Ah well, that final bit scene confirmed that... Looks like this is going to be a match between ACCA's corrupt top-brass, who want to take over the government and the Inspectors they appointed themselves to oversee the ACCA organization, who are meant to prevent such coup's |

| Writing : I wonder about the bitter guy, who happens to be conveniently at the right place to find the lighter with the outspoken intent to use it for arson? Looking at the direction it takes, it seems we need several episodes to make our opinion. I don't think you can draw a conclusion from the first episode for any political story. That's why I'm somewhat surprised about some negative comments here, but maybe they didn't expect any serious story-line that would require several episodes to build and develop. No gun shooting, no fight, no running, no explosion, no spell, ...only talking, smoking, one guy who stole a lighter and another one corrupted with cigarettes, ... that's too groundbreaking for a first episode :) Smoking glorification is shit, I hope the MC stops at the end of the show or dies with cancer :) Miragee said: What's up with all the cancer female voices in here?

Glad the blue haired woman (General Mauve I think) saved it with 2 short appearances. She definitely looks intriguing. ah ah ah! I'm with you on this one. Why did they take high pitched 10 years old voices for female adults in a show that seems "serious" with political plot, ... oh well, I will get use to it. Maybe they want to use the female cast for comedy. At one point though it sounded like Eider could speak normally. Mauve "best girl"? Maybe but apparently only male characters are listed as main. Too bad. |
| damn, the opening is so catchy, cant stop listening to it. The ED song is nice too anw, this has potential to be good. Ep 1 so far, i like it. |
| I like Natsume Ono so i was hyped when i heard this was going to get adapted... I didn't read the manga but my friend did and she didn't like it much at first but got into it later. We will see. But i liked it so far.....and so many people calling it "boring" is a good sign. |
| Not what I expected. God, the art is awful. |
 |
| Yet another show I had zero expectations for that really impressed me with its first episode this season. This has a really unique vibe, and the soundtrack and quasi-retro animation contributed to it a lot. Could be a nice change of pace show to come back to each week. Only pitfall is that this could also get boring fast if not handled correctly, so we'll see. |
| Interesting start so far. Characters look really cool and distinctive, and the sound is great too. Just wondering why smoking is condidered something for the rich though. |
 |
| Really love the atmosphere. Love the art. Definitely a keep for me. I'm a sucker for a slow build up anime like this. |
| too much smoke 7.8/10 - ign |
 |
| This show's got some sick looking backgrounds, the colors are really nice too. Natsume Ono's style really comes to life here. |
| so good, easily AOTS at this point. The art style is wonderful |

LogiRogi said: Doomdoctor said: Contemporary? You do know Japan doesn't have a 99 year old king, right? Lol. The setting is clearly not modern Japan.Hey look, it's Joker Game in contemporary Japan. Who thought this happy go lucky anime Japan was a good setting for an anime about conspiracies and detectives? Also, screw all those saying this is as boring as Joker Game. Nothing can be that boring (and this is much better if you're not a spastic millennial). He's 83 . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akihito . |

| this was better than i had expected. i liked it a lot. i haven't read the manga, so coming into this fresh helped a lot. i really like the character designs and the music is excellent. don't know why others didn't like it, i guess it's just a difference in taste or ppl needing more action idk. my only problem was them talking about audits cuz after a long day, i dont wanna hear that word lol. i wish this could be my department though!! jean's coworkers look fun and they eat baked goods everyday. that is my ideal workplace environment. the multiple arson is definitely hinting something and the head HQ guy seems dictator-like to me. The only reason i can think of why he decided to keep them open is that Jean can be a potential dangerous threat to his future goals and it's easier to keep an eye on him while giving him audit assignments and such. Jean seems extremely objective, sharp, and see's all the red flags so nothing can really escape him. It's totally crazy to expect him to do all 13 departments in 6 months though, so maybe he just wants him to quit??? Another reason could be to make it seem as if they are investigating but under the surface it's just a facade for the public. i was actually already getting mad they were getting rid of it cuz everything is peaceful thanks to the existence of this department. without it, the utopia would go away. Maybe with the department still open, the blackmarket can thrive a little more too idk |

| This wasn't something I had planned on watching but I noticed it by chance and decided to watch it, especially after I realized it was Madhouse. The art is really nice and I like the character designs, plus I'm really a fan of slower shows like this. The episode seemed longer than normal which I liked, I wanted it to keep going. Jean seems like a really cool MC. Just going by first episodes, it could be AotS, I have high expectations for it. Madhouse/10 |

| Loved the OP and also liked the credit song Love love the artstyle love the colors Jean is hot, dark blue hair girl is hot Digging the other cop that hates him Confused about the premise, but that's OK While I could say this is "boring", I'd say it's more relaxing than anything. Something I'll watch at night before bed, it made me feel really calm. It gave me a .Hack//Sign feeling which is another series I findnto be relaxing instead of boring. And, like this, .Hack can be confusing but again I don't mind. While the setting of .Hack and this are worlds apart I bet they are going to continue to have a similar feel. Wouldn't recommend to anyone trying to quit smoking....... I felt like lighting up and I don't even smoke :( |

| Good op and ed. Good animation and art. I really like the aesthetic of it. The premise is pretty interesting. I'm somewhat confused about the hierarchy, but not too confused. Even with all that said, I honestly found this episode pretty hard to get through, but once we hit the 19 minute mark it picked up a little. I'm guessing the MC is about to be framed for Arson or something? Probably a Coup is also going to happen. Overall not too strong of an episode and it was hard to get through (took about 3 breaks before finishing it), but it has some potential. |
| Not a fan of the art style it was bordering on ugly for the character designs. Biggest issue for me was that it was just very very dull. |
Ysad_Ziwezhan said: Writing : I wonder about the bitter guy, who happens to be conveniently at the right place to find the lighter with the outspoken intent to use it for arson? ITs implied Jean is being followed and spied upon. We also see the stalker cop together with the long-haired guy who ordered the monitoring too. So it is no coincidence that the stalker cop is ALWAYS where Jean is. There most likely is a reason behind it. I don't think you can draw a conclusion from the first episode for any political story. We know there's a possibility of a coup. We know its a monarchy-run government that has been stale and same for almost a century. We also know that it is not a perfect system and that it is ridden with red tape, illogical laws and system inconsistencies(ex: the lower pay of higher position that Jean mentions). We know that there's a sort of classism issue with a sufficient amount of friction between "higher" ranking and "lower" ranking people. We know that there's inner political play within ACCA between the executives and that the inspection bureau people are a pain in the ass for them in terms of doing shady dealings. We know that Jean uncovering the corrupt smugglers somehow stepped on someone's toes enough to get him monitored and suspected. We know that Jean is of a sufficiently high status to calmly converse with the heads(when normal people would shake in fear) and to smoke cigarettes which are the most expensive luxury in this setting. We also know that kind is around ~98 years old,meaning he most likely does not have that much to live left. I'd say we have quite a good amount of information on political setting. And with the possibility of a coup and king's age, it is easy to see that Jean most likely got dragged into a political game for power with what he did this episode. iFenrear said: I am actually very confused how can people rate the entire series based on only one episode............ Short attention span. Its a common factor with shows like this in MAL. And not just MAL. It happens to all the shows that are not "within the trend". The trend shows usually go either with "all hate" or "all love" approach because there's a perception that the show is "cool to others". The shows that are outside those trends? People are so used to simplistic anime narrative and cliche tropes that anything that steps out of that leads to people like that instantly turning off their brain and going "wtf this is boring". A "typical" viewers excepts the same regurgitated tropes and plotlines. That's why majority of anime production targets that. Thus in a way people are conditioned to "dislike" thinking more or paying attention more than usual. |

| The story and setting intrigued me but I wasn't really grabbed by any of the characters. I didn't really get a sense for the main character other than that he's aloof and he smokes cigarettes. The OP and ED were great, especially the animation in the ED. Will definitely be checking out the next couple of episodes. |
| kinda disappointed . but hey im gonna give it another go next week maybe it gonna get better . |

Isn't this like Psycho-pass again.. Nah.. Just kidding Cigars are very luxury these days.. The hidden gem of winter 2017 :D |
