First episode seemed juvenile enough in it's content for me to drop it on episode one.

If this show is trying the same sense of 'maturity' that mnemsoyne (sp) tried then it can literally fuck right off.

Well I really enjoyed the first episode, this anime has great potential, but I hope it doesn't turn out to be a purely episodic series.


The manga has been purely episodic for over 30 years, I doubt for some reason there will be some sort of plot any time soon.

I like it the way it is, it reminds me of cartoons I used to watch as a kid on weekend mornings.

Ha ha

It was OK.

Didn't like the random sex though >_>

Means I have to mute the audio to avoid o_0 from family.

It's the adaptation of an old-school manga, so if you've not read the manga or if you're not old-school, you obviously can't like this show, it's as simple as that.


I disagree. I never was into old-school, but when my friend showed me this ep, I was like O.o I need to watch this.

I loved it. :3 I'm old-school so I thought it was pretty good. The art really fits the whole "mafia" thing.
I can't wait for more.

I think this was interesting. I watched the Netflix dub. Nothing earth shattering, but it was definitely interesting and worth watching sporadically.

Well, that start off a bit violent. I'm liking the style of this anime though. Feels like watching James Bond

The OP song is decent too!
Not bad for this start. That weird sex scene kinda threw me off though but the sniper shooting was epic.

Golgo did all of that in 4 hours?! I don't think this guy is human. I think I'm going to like this.

I love that Golgo had a little prostitute action while waiting for his gun to be modded, he's a man's mans man's man, that guy. The only disappointment is that we didn't see him drinking and smoking.

I don't imagine I'll zip through every episode but I think I'll like this series.

I liked it and I'll watch every single episode. There are 50, right?

I love how he's fucking someone in the ED song lol they really want to emphasize that he's a manly man who needs to shoot people and fuck bitches.

Can't believe how much hate there is in the thread.
Yes the first episode has nothing special but actually only few anime have special episode 1 and how can you know the plot is good of bad based on just 1 episode?
About realistic,is the much unrealistic than Hollywood action movies.
As for me this anime is a wait and see.

I watched this series for one reason only: because in the 1970s, I met a man at a diner who looked exactly like Golgo 13 and was in a similar business. He was mafia hit man, but had a 'day job' in electronics. We struck up a friendship because we both had a common interest in pirate radio broadcasting and electronics.
But back then, "Ralph" (not his real name) was about Duke Togo's age and had a strikingly similar appearance. Ralph was from Calabria, Italy and immigrated to New York in 1957. I met him some 20 years later, on one of my late night diner visits.

I knew about Golgo 13 in the early 1990s, or before. There must have been a manga or an earlier TV series, because the name was out there. Even Ralph admitted he thought Golgo was a cool character, though we never got to see it. I haven't seen Ralph since 2003. I don't know if he is in prison or even alive at this point. But there are real life Golgo's out there.

The character in the anime strikes me as dependable, honorable, and trustworthy. He never jokes around. He always gets his man (or woman). I hope that in later eps more of his background will be revealed.

Wow that was a nice introduction and buildup for the 1st episode
He's a professional hitman, code name Golgo 13
I wonder if he meet Agent 47, which one of them will win xD

Ahhhhhh

Love that toxic masculinity in all it's glory

Fuck whores
Kill assholes
Get paid
Look good doing it

And of course those that prefer their lyrical magical school girl crap can't stand a show like this

Everything about this is GAR af. Golgo wasn't making love, he's merely obeying his biological needs in order to carry out his job perfectly focussed 🗿

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

The OP song is good! My kind of music.
Duke is so badass. He has time to have juicy sex before the mission while eliminating the mafia guys hunting him like nothing. He has 100% accuracy.
The ED song sounds good, too.

How have I not watched this before? Such a tragedy, this needed to be watched.

Has a cool late 60's Point Blank feel.
