| 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. |

| This gets better with every episode! |
 |
| Fantastic episode! I love the manic energy in this series. |
| 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! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| 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. |
 |
| seriously this anime so fucking gooooddddd !!! epic action and good animation too |
| Another episode with amazing fight scenes. Why don't people ride the Shinkansen in this show? :-| Anyway, can't wait for the next episode to know more about those siblings. |
| A good episode, I liked the action and laughed too with Brawler's wackiness. |

| That cat is actually... Some kids?! I thought the cat was gonna be a hottie like Yoruichi... Smh |

| 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. |
 |
| 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 |

| What an action-packed episode, I wonder who those 2 kids are and why they were traveling through the Shinkansen. |
 |
| looks like the only one that could go toe-to-toe with Execution Division Master is Cutthroat & Brawler huh... so many stylish acts! maybe those 2 kids are forbidden existence that's why they're so elusive! now that i thought about it Apprentice is cute! 5/5. |
 |
| Best episode thus far for me.Fight was on point 5/5.It's just really sad that not many people are watching this show,it desirves more love for sure! This is my anime of the season. |

| 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. |
 |
| Fine episode. Feel kinda bad for Pupil tho. 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 ?! |
| Stupid episode, full of asspulls and nonsense. |
 |
mugiwararobin said: is there a manga of this? No. This is an anime original. |
|
| 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. Brawler and Hoodlum working off with each other in the fight scene with Executioner. |
 |
| 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? |

| Another crazy and thrilling episode. Never thought that the vault would contain two kids. Now I wonder how things will go from here. |
 |
| The doctor lady sure is hot, but they continue to give her awful dialogue. Not sure what's going on with those kids. And RIP kitty. |
| ok so the vault contains this 2 children that have super powers it seems |
| Amazing fights. Amazing stuff and everything was amazing. Absolutely lovin' this show. |
 |
| 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. |
| This was really thrilling episode, they nearly die there but at least they succeed. To think that the cat was inside on that vault really interesting, we got a new characters that are weird but interesting. |
 |
| That was epic. Drunken binge watch incoming!!! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| 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. |
| The whole universe is quite interesting but also very mysterious. Loving this joy ride. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| So the cat was a kid all time lol. I'm still surprised none have died but it may change later. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| The Brawler fight against the Execution Division is really good, and the Killer is no less good! So the one who controlling the cat is a boy, |
 |
| Poor Brawler really isn't actually that strong in a serious fight. I definitely didn't expect some kids to be in a vault. Hopefully we get at least a few questions answered next episode. |
 |
| This was an action packed episode!! The fight scenes were amazing!! Didn't expect that Black Cat's controller would be in the vault!! Also they're strong!! They stopped the train and created a shield around it inside the Absolute Quarantine Zone!! Amazing!! |
