| This is so underrated.I wish more people would watch it/ |
 Scordolo's Recent Reviews To your eternity Vanitas no Karte |
| didn't like the motorcycle battle at the end or at all in general, next episode will let me know if I drop it or not. Visually the first episode had style here and there but sometimes reminded me of Persona 4 which I don't like at all. |
| That was a pretty interesting start, I enjoyed this episode full of action and pretty good animation. The characters that are being introduced here are pretty interesting. |
 |
| This looks interesting. Good first impressions. Love the character designs. |
| Always a big fan of this crazy flashy first episodes. Don't really like that neck bombs. |
| I was disappointed. I felt like it focused too much on action and not enough on dialogue. The comedy was hit-and-miss too because it relied too much on slapstick, bombast, and visual overload. That kind of thing just isn't for me. The visuals were very competent technically though. But maybe it will get better once the plot starts rolling more properly. |

| Wow, I wasn't expecting much from anime.....it exceeded my expectations! I just hope it doesn't turn into another Juuni Taisen or Darwin's Game. For some reason, character introductions remind me of the Suicide Squad in Batman: Assault on Arkham lmao |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| A strong beginning with a lot of great visuals. I'm definitely looking forward to this. I definitely didn't expect the cat to suddenly start talking at the end. |
 |
| Excellent premise and production, but terrible characters. They're all extremely generic and dumb, not to mention their overpowereness pretty much annihilates any chance of creating stakes and tension. The only one barable is the FEMC because she at least seems like a normal human being, but still very generic. Such a shame, because this could be so much better if it wasn't for this aspect. I might still watch it, but I don't see giving this show more than a 7/10. YossaRedMage said: Sums up my thoughts perfectly. Such a waste of potentialTrite, cliched, childish. Great if you want really nice art and animation with zero substance or heart. Feels like a western comic book, not an anime. I haven't disliked a first episode as much as this in a long time. EDIT: I want to emphasize that I would usually not be so scathing, but this is a waste of a really interesting setting. The first 2-3 mins were intriguing. I thought we were getting another stylish but mature sci fi. Like a modern Ergo Proxy. Boy was I wrong. |

| I'm not really feeling this one. Maybe it will be a good show but I don't think it's for me. protagonist was so stupid; just use the effin 500 yen lol |
  |
| Very over the top presentation, but going along with it makes it a very fun show to watch. |
| Very easy to tell that this show is a turn your brain off and just enjoy the ride kind of experience, and it does that very well. It's a shame some people just can't have fun. |
 |
| What is this absolute fire and why haven’t I heard about it until now- oh dang the last episode just aired on Christmas Eve, sweet. BINGE WATCH IN ONE SITTING TIME LETS GO |

| yooooooooooo this looks hype asff |
| First imp This looks really cool, That cut throat guy doe. |
| Damn what a stellar first episode. I think I'm really gonna enjoy this anime. |
| Okay this is really interesting!! The plot seems good and animation is amazing!! The courier's bike is amazing!! I feel bad of the swindler but lets see where it goes... Overall, a really interesting pilot episode! |
 |
| High production quality and an interestin over the top sci-fi setting involving infamous wanted people, I'm highly impressed so far. |
 |
| Seems like it can be a fun ride. |
| lol the girl was caught up in this mess. Man I do not want to be in her position |
 |
| Soooo out of nowhere I decided to try out this show and see how it goes. The art style is honestly what really stuck out to me overall. I'm not really picky, depending of course on the studio who created it and to be quite honest the year it came out due to better CGI in later years. However this one is like " the one ". I honestly love it. And it gives me Cop Craft vibes for some reason. Dunno could be just me. Anyways I'll be continuing this show. It has me intrigue. lola_ |

 |
| I'm digging this cyberpunk aesthetic way more than the currently airing Tribe Nine, and the action scenes are way more over-the-top |
| Okay so we have a bunch of rly bad criminals + a girl that has done nothing wrong beside trying to rescue cats and giving money back. I wonder If that setup was rly as wanted to be? Also evil speaking cat? WHAT D: |
 |
| Interesting premise. I know it *NEEDED* to happen for the plot, but the girl choosing to throw the 4 year old sentenced prisoner under the bus while choosing to help the criminal who was gonna kill her just a few mins earlier....... girl be serious.. 😭 |
 |
| The amount of over-the-top everything is awesome. Girl just went out to eat some takoyaki and got dragged into this absolute mess, and honestly being that i haven't had takoyaki in literal months i would totally go through all that just to eat some rn. |
 |
| The girl kinda annoyed me but I quite like this because it's pure madness lol and lots of explosions. |
 |
| I see motorbatman with spiderman power. Then i saw a girl who know nothing that look like a heroine. I assume that Akudama is superpower people and troublemaker. Battleroyale in the first episode. |
| A crazy way to start of a series. This might actually be more enjoyable then I thought. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Now that went absolutely ballistic with the first episode. Good visuals , will the story be as good as the visuals though? Kinda rushed start but pretty good so far. |
 |
| Eventful first episode with decent action and visuals, but the characters need work. They seem like stereotypical villain archetypes, except they just happen to be the main characters this time. But they still have time to develop some depth, so can't be too harsh. |

| kind of feels like edgelord fuel but at the same time it's pretty well done. |
 |
| Nice aesthetics, tone and world, but not much in terms of compelling story or characters unfortunately. I'll keep watching to see if it picks up. |
