great episode whole time i was thinking ant no way this is gonna work out before they get into the zone with how much they stopped to talk about things lol but they did it wasn't expecting a bunch of kids chillin inside though seems like kanto isn't all that it's hyped up to be.

Okay episode, it kind of bothers me how there was (predictably) no big consequences in the fights. This anime is like all action and pretty animation/colors, but the story itself is average and lacking so far. None of the characters are really interesting. And there's your anime logic with characters talking like it's no big deal even though there's only 10 minutes to do everything. I probably would've enjoyed this more if it came out last season instead. I can't help comparing its ridiculousness to Great Pretenders lol.

The last few minutes with the kids revealed as the "goods" piqued my interest though. I feel like I'd like the next episode more.

Akudama Drive and Jujutsu are probably one of the best animes from this season, damn! What an episode! Basically a challenge for everyone, besides cutthroat i guess, he didn't do much at all in this episode.

Finally, Hoodlum did something xD
I wonder who those kids are, but for sure they are OP. The next episode will probably reveal everything about Kanto and what's going on, can't wait!

What a great episode. I enjoyed many fighting scenes and thrilling.
Black Cat's identity was human. I'm curious his development.

Another great and entertaining episode, Akudama Drive has not disappointed so far. Though I gotta admit the animation quality is not as good as the previous episodes but, it's still pretty good and stylish.

Can't blame Cutthroat, I mean Swindler is really attractive. Damn, student can't catch a break lmao, she's got nothing but L's everytime she shows up.

I had a feeling it was gonna be the kids in the intro that was in the vault but, I didn't expect black cat to be controlled by them. The plot thiccens, I am really looking forward to the next episode, we going to Kanto bois.

That was great.

The animation and action scenes have always been fantastic, but the previous episodes definitely lacked depth imo. With the new kids and some implications about Kanto, it seems that the actual story is starting to develop. I'm very excited.

Anyway, can't wait for the next episode to know more about those siblings.

The paper cutout intermissions are really annoying. They not only get into the way of the action, but the information they give us could also easily be deduced from what we've been shown so far or told in a more subtle way that wouldn't disrupt the pacing.

I hope the kitty comes back. A cute but cheeky black cat is better to watch than an expressionless creepy kid.

awesome episode. wonder who those kids were... could they be from Kanto since the black cat/boy said Kanto isn't the utopia everyone thinks it is. Cutthroat finally giving us some action, before i thought his 900+sentence was for show.

I just watched all four episodes. I like cyberpunk, if you can call this such, but it is moving very fast. Gang assembled quickly, motivated by exploding necklaces so that we can move on without discussion or negotiation. And getting hold of the train, the most valuable thing in Kanto, is something that would usually take most of a season. Now we have reached the objective already.

The rushed story also means there needs to be exposition, added in the worst possible way: Added characters talking directly to the viewers. If the story had taken longer to get to the train capture, we could have had the exposition in a smoother way.

Never mind. Hopefully the next objective will be interesting.

The plot armor for some of the characters annoyed me (Why wouldn't the crazy doctor just kill the executioner with her syringe?), but man the setting and general mystery are so engrossing.

y'allllll this show gets better and better, i had the same reaction as swindler when they opened the vault!! "children?!" i can't wait for more, this is definitely the beginning of an intense plot! also, i love the little moments where members of the team have banter, like swindler chastising cutthroat for not fighting the executioners and the little scene after the ed where doctor gives brawler first aid- it's so cute!! i know they're all deadly criminals in it for the money, but i can't help but want them to become friends lolol

maybe those 2 kids are forbidden existence that's why they're so elusive!

5/5.

This episode was a lot of fun with a lot of over the top fight scenes. So inside the vault is what seems to be a pair of children with special abilities. They must be very important to for them to be shipped all the way to Kanto. Something tells me that things in Kanto are not what it seems to be.

Also if the kids planned all this from the start to escape why were there 2 bomb collars for Swindler and Hoodlum? Did they have spares haha ?!

This show gets better and the action is so slick!

Just love these characters and how they unconventionally gel together and have great chemistry. Plotwise or not... you cannot help but watch these guys doing their thing forever... they are such a bunch of fun to watch.

Man this episode is so much fun. The fighthing animation might not be superior but still fun to watch. I really like that all Akudama are known to be dangerous and powerful yet not overpowered. The Algojo can somehow outmatched them in some way which makes their existence in this series become a threat and obstacle. The ending to this episode really build the mood for curiosity as personally I want to know the background to the black cat and his sister.

So here's some food for thought... if the decontamination zone purges all organic matter, why are there even passenger cars on the Shinkansen? What happens to the passengers?

The next episode being titled Dead Man Walking is concerning, considering it's a movie about someone's execution.

Explaining my scoring system would take more than 650 characters.

This series is so over-the-top and I like it for that. It's not getting any points for logic or well-executed storylines but damn is it entertaining. But I have to admit, this show wouldn't even half as entertaining if not for the badass animation and artstyle. The story isn't that original but hopefully, they keep this momentum up to the end.

It was a really good episode, I only have one question. If no one can travel by the shinkansen because they would die then why was there a robot voice and an infromation screen announcing the shinkansen's location and when will it reach its destination? Like... Why was this system even made? Exactly who was supposed to hear and see these informations lmao?

I was right, I think. We were looking for the cat's real body. He was too scared of dying despite being a robot, so it was obvious yet intriguing.

I don't know why but I had a got feeling that the vault would contain a body or something similar, my guess was not that much wrong, I wonder if they can reach Kanto now and see what this special city is all about, it might be worse than Kansai.

Also they're strong!! They stopped the train and created a shield around it inside the Absolute Quarantine Zone!! Amazing!!
