----------------------------------------
This aired earlier than usual. Juzo got request to protect a girl named Rosa so it's up to him to do the work again.

There's also more truth to the case but tbh, this didn't really feel like a season's finale. Good thing this series has another cour. Juzo's cases in this series were entertaining although I personally think the mid-season episodes were the best. Can't wait for Spring 2020.

is it just me or this episode had a different feel to it? the colors felt much more fitting or something like that
anyways, not a bad adaptation overall, tho the manga did have a different feeling to it with its gritty art. sadly, the story doesn't hold too much on its own for just 1 cour, even manga's story line isn't developed that much (the translated parts)


for anyone wondering reading the mango before s2, the anime ends concludes with ch 21 and starts ch 22

Juzo was able to solve this case.

The ending with the hand was funny XD.

Good thing this is getting another season.
A fine show. 6/10.

This show leaves me with a feeling of cluelessness what to think about the story. It surely has more layers than meets the eye, and at the same time is somewhat boring. The right conclusion is that it deserves watching cour two. Let's hope shit hits the fan then, without becoming a shounen. The show always is a bit too close to that genre for my taste.

For now, a 5/10 which means "confused and undecided". Most likely this will go up or down after the 2nd half of the story.

The season finale was okayish and the whole season was okayish at best too. So far I saw nothing that special, mediocre stuff except that one fight against that golden guy, that was a good fight. Anyway looking forward to season 2, hope this will get better.

so this was just another ordinary case to close the show out....season peaked when what's his face pulled Juzo's trigger. the final shot of the robo-hands acting like a dogey was funny tho

The show was decent overall, not that great but not the worst thing I've ever watched. 5/10, lets see how things play out in the next season.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Not a bad episode. The first few episodes were good, but after Tetsuro Harmony'd Juzo, I felt like the quality of the story in NGL took a nosedive.

This was a strange finale. It's a 2 cour, right? Otherwise it felt a bit off since it's a standalone episode.

I didn't know what to expect from this anime but I really liked the style that Madhouse put into it. Getting attached so easily to Juzo and Mary, even to Tetsuro in some way, made me happy. Can't wait for season 2, I'll be reading you all soon!

This was actually my favourite episode of the show, despite the story being kinda obvious.... it might have been the lack of the kid.
Overall though, for a show where the main character has a gun for a head, the show is kinda meh and at times, it's kinda boring.

Liked this episode more than most. This was a decent show with a cool premise, but it never really piqued my interests that much. A lot of the characters I didn't have much interest in. Well I'll probably check out the second season anyway.

Wasted setting. Could have gone the seinen route but chose to be corny and lighthearted. Another one of 2019's awful garbage. Better than isekai bullshit though.

Mary's faces during the bike chase were so good xD

Final episode for this first part and fortunately, it was more entertaining than I originally thought. By the way, this particular episode looked more... detailed than the rest. Really liked the slight improvement in the art style. Just hope it doesn't be a one-episode thing tho.

Overall, it was an average first part. The first 3 or so episodes were extremely boring and Tetsurou's character is a bit too "shounen" for my taste. The episodes featuring Olivier and the fight against Mega-Armed made up for those aspects but just a little.

5/10 - Hope the second cour can be more engaging.

Pretty cool and entertaining finale to end what has been a pretty good show, I reckon.

Inui Juuzo is a freakin' badass and it's pleasing that this episode didn't shy away to demonstrate that. Condolences to the little girl this episode meanwhile, she was open to Extends so the incident must've hurt that extra bit.

Antagonist of the arc was pretty weak, in all honesty. I feel like he gave himself away far too easily during the short interrogation scene and we didn't even get much info from him so it was pretty anticlimactic finale overall. One of Beruhren's enemies, is pretty much all. Too bad Mary can't crack the code though.

You're right, lol. Looks like we'll be seeing more of it in the next half. Loved that little last scene in the end too! I thought a recap was coming when Juuzo thanked Tetsurou out of the blue xD.

Overall, this has been a fun and interesting show from start to finish! Beruhren matters got casted aside for the last arc though so that's a little pity but I'm looking forward to more answers next season! Some boring bits here and there but mid-phase was undoubtedly the highlight of the show for me. Inui Juuzo, as hinted earlier, has been a fantastic character to keep up with thanks to his unique quirks and Mary a real fun company too. Tetsurou, on the other hand, was fairly bland to be brutally honest and no antagonist that really piqued an interest so far, except for the dead "hero" I suppose.

Soundtracks, especially the main theme which was fab, and its usage was pretty good and the VA on point for the main cast imo. So no qualms there. Op and ED both were new but really awesome, especially the ED. Animation certainly wasn't the finest but the artstyle really complimented the dark aspect of the show so that alone was more than enough for me to approve, or so to say.

As such, I'll award this show with a solid 7/10. Looking forward to the second cour in Spring!

Yeah tbh I also got that feeling. Anyway pretty average and forgettable show, but made for a pretty ok time killer. I liked some character designs and the overall setting and atmosphere of the show. Mary's face during the bike scene reminded of Drifters, which in turn has also reminded me how much I still yearn for another season of that anime.

Ya know I kinda hate the fact that Rosa hasn't got it yet that it was her Daddy's friend Danny who was the culprit.

Rosa naked in the room with Mary was probably the only fanservice around here.

It's not actually a S2, this should be 24 episodes from the start but they decided to split it in half. Let's hope that part 2 will be way better story wise.

After initially dismissing this series because of the premise, I got into it because of a recommendation and I don't regret it at all.

It's one of the better ones this season, and one of the ones that I really enjoyed and the quality felt good throughout. True, this didn't really feel like a season finale, but I somehow loved this episode as it dealt with prejudice against Extendeds. I kinda called that that Danny guy was the culprit, but still, short as it was it was really good.

It's getting another season? Yay! This is probably one of the two series that I've finished this season that I'm actually hoping for a second season.

Thinking of giving it an 8 or 9 out of 10, not yet decided.

Loved it!

Also, I think that Rosa girl might be playing a bigger role in the future? I'm really curious about her background story, her father, and that hand Extended's story. Really hope they explore that more.

A really great anime, especially the atmosphere and this whole imagined world which was particularly interesting (a very good sci-fi thema).

However this episode, even if it only represents the middle of the whole season, really felt weird to conclude the first part. I would have expected a deeper case or something bigger lurking in the darkness but no, it ended as if next week there would be the 13th episode.

interesting premise, but story is whatever and i'm not that interested in second season unless it was intended to be watched as a 24 episode season. the 3D CGI was surprisingly good, noticeable but not horrible.

Quite good episode, but not as end/intermission.
Even with larger back plots with Behruen, EMS etc factions, the mostly episodic plot at times felt boring, a huge contrast with the cool wacky designs and energetic OP. Dark mystery vibe is there but no energy like the op, partly since most animation is quite lazy tho cool art & framing stills.
Inui's great, and Tetsuro became less annoying later, but most other characters vanish too fast to keep much interest for the short arcs.

It was intended as a 24 episode season. And even then it does not reach the conclusion of the manga (which as of writing has not been concluded either). I sincerely hope for a new series, that will cover the later chapters of NGL.

The manga also started slow with, Mega-Armed Tokisada and Gondry being the highlight of the earlier chapters. But the coming episodes should start getting REALLY interesting. im at volume 9 now.

The longer this anime went on the more I liked it, both thematically and as a story. The characters are fascinating and bring depth to the gritty world and atmosphere.

7/10, excited for the next cour

This Anime adaptation gets a 6/10 from me. I enjoyed the manga more than the Anime surprisingly, even though this was done by Madhouse.

The hand is my favorite character, tbh. He's just adorable! Tetsurou remains my least favorite, although he has his moments, and his non-moving Speed Racer mouth still irks me.

Still, I'd watch the next season because that's when things that to get juicy! I recommend reading the manga for those who can't wait for the 2nd season.

The intrigue in this episode was quite lazy, but in principle, this show left me a good impression. I don't like cyberpunk, but I appreciated all those nostalgic "old gloomy anime" emotions that I received from it. I don’t know what I will get in the second half of the show, but I will definitely wait for it.

At the moment, 8/10, where 1 point is purely as a credit of trust.
