this is as interesting and as boring as joker game. big plus that the manga is completed so this might be full adaptation. gonna watch this to pass the time since tuesday anime are all garbage


I definitely was reminded of Joker Game as well! I am going to stick with this show because the art style is very attractive but it was quite dull plot-wise. Hopefully it'll get interesting!

It was quite uneventful but it was a pretty decent episode. A lot of exposition and an overview of the characters before anything happens, which clearly something is going to happen. I can't say how I feel about it since it is only the first episode but so far, like a lot of people are saying, there really isn't an attention grabbing plot or none of the characters in particular grab my attention. Visually, it is quite unique and I quite like the art.

It gives a very chill, relaxed, nonchalant vibe and I'm unsure of what it will progress into, but I'll keep watching to find out. I quite like how different it is from 'mainstream' or popular shows where one aspect of an anime really reels people in. I think there's something special about a series slowly developing the characters and revealing the story line instead of going in with these expectations and having them basically dictate the entire watching experience. I will say though as a first episode, it is a bit weak. After watching it, I can't help but feel like a lot was missing, but at the same time this does seem to be the kind of show that takes a lot of time to progress

The question is, will this show progress in time and show potential? Or...will it deliver more than we expect? Is it as dull as it appears at first glance?
I have high hopes and the mystery behind the plot and characters really does convince me this show has a lot of potential.

I am not sure what definition of fantasy you are using but that is EXACTLY the definition of fantasy. A story being set in an imaginary world

Literally the only need for fantasy genre is for the setting to be NOT our world.

What you are thinking of is high fantasy.


By that definition almost every fictional story is fantasy which renders the term itself meaningless.

All fictional stories set in imaginary unreal worlds or alternate version of our worlds are fantasy genre.
Unless it is specifically based on science fiction concepts making it science fiction.

It's like Joker Game but a bit less intense, more relaxing. I mean this in a good way.

I really enjoyed it. Hearing Shimono Hiro use that voice is very rare because he's usually screaming in his roles, such as Syo or he sounds childish the rest of the time, like in Tonari no Seki-kun. And then Suwabe with his rich chocolatey voice, Yusa with his sly voice, and Waccha!!

The artstyle is very unique, I like it.

OP/ED are solid and one of my favourites this season already.

So, even though thus far there have been zero fantasy elements by your definition it is still fantasy genre because it happens to take place in a fictional country?

Literally dont get the comparison. Beyond having adult cast, both shows have different aesthetic, different focus, different setting, different approach to storytelling(Joker' Game was episodic and this is very clearly not)

A fictional country in a fictional world run by fictional monarchy IS fantasy elements. You are yet again confusing it with "high fantasy" elements(elves, magic, different rules of physics or reality, etc)

Yeah why is everyone dooming a show so early on by comparing it to Joker Game? (Which ended up being quite garbage.)

I'm not sure what I was expecting from this or even if i'll manage to keep up with this weekly, but for now i'll say that I love the visuals.
The character design was the reason why I picked this up in the first place.

The feeling is similar. I watched it with 5 people and they said the same exact thing. It's about politics. And also Shimono Hiro. But yes, it's different overall.

That was more interesting than expected. I like Jean (though his and his sister's character designs look kind of strange) and one of those higher-ups seems mysterious. I wonder what reason he has to be monitoring him.
I thought all the inspectors got paid a lot, but apparently it's only Jean that can afford to live in the center of the city and smoke all the time; I wonder how he is so rich. And is someone really trying to overthrow the government?

awesome OP rap, ED nice sketch ballerina.
Expected 91days/gangsta, instead got cakes & lots of gov infodump. One of the slowest, boring ep1 in ~30 seasonals I've tried. Dry exposition can be spread out with events happening later. No need to rush a dump. It's lacking the tenseness or mood that I find in those 2 shows.
Mc looks cool & likeable, some other designs eww weird, not as edgy as the terrible promo image, but all nope to old blond guy with fancy hair. Feels more attention seeking in a worse way than Alderamin. thx madhouse.
Nice to see NYC style city & subway entrances.

OP song is my fave so far from all the series this winter 2017. It's very nostalgic, it reminds me of 90s anime.

Aside from Jean, the other names sound pretty stupid like Pochard and Grossular. It only sounds good when it's for a duck and a mineral. On people, ugh. It doesn't have the same effect they do in Sailor Moon where the baddies are named after minerals.

The character designs range from cool to plain and generic. There's a lot of potential but it might just be wishful thinking on my part. I wonder why people make a big deal of the MC smoking. MC's personality is also kind of generic, how many times have we seen those kuudere MCs who doesn't give a shit what happens but somehow still does their job as the MC of the series.

Still, the story itself isn't that engaging. I hope something more interesting happens.

This is generally not my kind of anime (started it on a whim out of curiosity) but I'm enjoying it so far. Its pretty chill but really intriguing at the same time. Also, I can't say I'm a fan of the character design... though I can't deny that it suits the vibe of this show.

On one hand I like the atmosphere and character designs, also the characters seem interesting. On another hand... I am having a hard time following the whole plot 'cause its kinda dry and not really my taste. I wanna stick with it tho.. Will watch it slowly I guess.

Also someone burn that annoying mid-length hair jealous blond guy's hair. Hate.

Great start, I like how we just jumped straight into things, and from the way it looks we can safely assume we'll learn more as we go along.

So far all the girls are really pretty!

I like the false sense of security too. Like something big is about to happen.

I guess Jean is suspected of starting a Coup d'état now?
Just because he liked to bring lighter?

Interesting introduction. The world-building shown is appropriate. Our MC is suspected to be in a coup d'état? Mmm. Let's see what kind of story is preparing for us. That cop stalker is annoying. I want him dead! 3/5

Catchy OP, really liked it

As for the story, mystery wrapped in coup d'etat is my main interest in this series, i really curious where this series'll be going.

Well, Obviously the MC already pique my interest along with some of character so far,i think this series elaborate them pretty well along with their chemistry toward each other, I expected a great plot twist towards the end of series :D

#i sense his cigarettes played a big role in this story

People like that OP? It sounded like the kind of embarrassing generic-white-rapper shit from cheesy 90s cartoons (or bad English-dub openings, like iirc the rap from the Canadian version of DBZ) , or or that 'Reeses puffs' commercial cringe-rap from rhe Idubbbz meme.

Even if you like that kind of music, it totally doesn't suit a series thats meant to be a mature, stylish political drama. The ED is far more appropriate (its pretty forgettable tbh- but at least its not completely cringe-inducing and glaringly out of place)

Really enjoyed the feel of the first episode, and if this show can pull the mystery off right I think it will turn out pretty well

It's kind of interesting that the main character is investigation government corruption while peddling catalogues to other government employees (i.e., trying to get them to buy stuff). That seems like it could also be a form of corruption. A- relatively more minor form, but it still seems inappropriate for the guy investigating it.

I'm not really sure what to think of it yet, but i love the style and the VAs. It did feel like the episode went on forever, but I think it's because I don't really understand it yet? Like everything will slowly unravel and I'll catch on.

Slow moving pace, a few sub mysteries like the price of cigarettes and protagonist's origin. I'll give it another few episodes to bed in before I decide if there's something there.
