| The Akudama brutally annihilated the security forces/police in the hotel...I'm pleasantly surprised by reconfirmed harshness of Akudama Drive. |
| I'm pleasantly surprised by this anime. Saw it very randomly on MAL and thought that the graphics looked pretty cool. Turned out the graphics are amazing and the story seems very promising. The second episode definitely didn't degrade in quality or allure, it even made me look forward to the next episodes even more! Also, the characters are individually interesting, I really look forward to seeing their backstory, especially Cutthroat and Courier. |

| I fully love this insanity so far. I love cyberpunk, heists, ensemble casts, and the overall chaotic vibe of this. |
whither said: I fully love this insanity so far. I love cyberpunk, heists, ensemble casts, and the overall chaotic vibe of this. Insanity is a great way to describe it. A thrillride |
| Super over the top, but that’s not a bad thing in this case. Love the super stylization of it all. It’s just a lot of fun, my expectations were pretty high too considering who’s working on this. Surprised the score isn’t higher. |
 |
| Soundtrack and animation are top notch stuff. Really interested to see how the ordinary girl is going to act during this series |
So I guess that as a gay person I was the only one bothered by this and didn’t find it amusing? It annoyed me for some reasons |
| I'm with you. Being treated as a second-class person and a butt of a joke is indeed annoying at best. Although, while not amusing, it fits with her overall abrasive and bitchy personality. |
| English not native. Also, crazy, lazy and think in strange forms. Previously known as Ferasder. |

But yea I could see how some people could find it offensive more than funny, again sorry for being insensitive. |
| Fun show, but this and Tonikawa are both in the runnng for worst OP of the season. |
| That was a good episode really like the Executioners style. Cutthroats act like a kid but is a sick psychopath and loves the color red. I like how Ordinary girl became Ms.Swindler after the incident. |
 |
 I have a feeling Cutthroat will just be there to be thrown around because he's in the way lol |
| Their is absolutely no team work the worst synergy ROFL but I guess thats what makes it fun. |
 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. |
| Are you telling me this was animated my Pierrot? |

| Aight Cyberpunk Danganronpa, I see you! |
 |
| Absolutely great episode once again, especially in terms of visuals, it's beautiful |
 |
| Hm, so there are powerful "heroes". I felt a bit sad after the doctor was said to be dead. |
| damn the doctor is sexy hot and those executioners are awesome too |
| Awesome episode, way better than the first, the introduction of the kansai police was dope, liked it. Only con here to me was the motorcycle appearing out of the blue saving the day at the end, shit felt lame and uncreative af, writers could have done better there imo. Hope this poor man's Garo shtick doesn't get normalized. |
| That was some really good animation on the fight there, and didn't like the op that much. This anime is really full of technology thing, and some weird guys but it's really good. |
 |
| LOOK THAT CHOREOGRAPHY!! OMG!! I'm glad that the Doctor is alive lol, in fact, something told me that she was going to heal herself but I didn't expect to be right either lol. At least this anime is not Juni Taisen. _cenjoo said: Xenocrisi said: So I guess that as a gay person I was the only one bothered by this and didn’t find it amusing?

I don't know if its about your comment or that scene from the anime lol. I would find it offensive if the anime or your comment included homophobic slurs like "fag" or trying to make fun of us (I didn't feel that way). Maybe other gays feel differently, idk, remember we're different despite sharing the same sexual orientation. In fact, I've seen worse comments in MAL and I don't think you're making fun of us. Anynway, its a bit off-topic but I'm happy that the anime acknowledged our existence at least lol. |

| 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. |
| I’m already obsessed with this anime, holy hell... the episodes are just flying by at this point. I will admit, I got super upset when the doctor got sliced. Thank god she can heal. |

Anynway, its a bit off-topic but I'm happy that the anime acknowledged our existence at least lol. I’m also gay and literally thought nothing of it. The Doctor seems to be one to rile up a few feathers, so I just saw it as her taking a cheeky jab. It’d be different if it was said with malice or if he reacted in a negative way or something but I’m all honesty I viewed it more as her questioning why he wouldn’t be seduced by her than anything offensive. |

| This show really is a lot of fun so far. 20 minutes really is short... I was expecting those executioners to be jokes but I'm glad I was wrong. |

Spaceship said: How did ANY of them survive/escape the entire top of the building being blown off when the Executioners (a.k.a. the Dark Lord of the Sith and his Apprentice with her lightsaber) were picking themselves up afterward... Or the bus crash for that matter. This show is still a LOT of fun to watch, but I wish it were "smarter." I'm willing to give it a little leeway for, let's say, "durability." But it's pushing it. And everyone's still taking Swindler at face value when she's OBVIOUSLY someone who just got caught up in the mix. It contrasts with the plot where all the characters are being asked to use their specific skillsets to outsmart and penetrate a supposedly invulnerable environment (the Shinkansen). The ED is fire BTW. The OST in general is great but I missed the more electronic/industrial elements from the first episode. Wait, there are more : 1.How on Earth did Cutthroat survive the fall from that skyscraper/hotel? Did "flying hacker" come pick him up? No he didn't, since he had already taken off to go the hideout. The writer couldn't explain it, so naturally he "forgot" to provide an explanation. 2.In the first episode how on earth did Cutthroat (again) manage to place the bomb collars around the necks of every single one in the group without any resistance or even the slightest reaction or hesitation, which by the way contradicted the character and personality of every Akudama? Furthermore, we are talking about Cutthroat here, who slices necks for fun. If there was one person in the group that you wouldn't want his hands near your bare neck that would be him. The writer couldn't explain this so ... you guessed it, he also "forgot" to explain it, and just had the animators focus closely on the necks of everyone. This was a vital plot device, since without it we wouldn't have a show - but it was also a plot hole. There are some other silly instances but I believe the above are the major ones (we can probably "forgive" -or not?- everyone being bombed with freaking rockets in the first episode and not only surviving but not getting a single scratch, since we have been "conditioned" to this crap by much of shonen anime and manga..). Two episodes in it appears that, just like JoJo, this anime belongs to the "stunning visuals but crappy script that makes zero sense" quasi-genre. |
 |
| Mindless action show. Stereotypical characters. Buh bye. |
| That cutthroat is a fucking idiot XDXD!!! Swindler and Hoodlum are deep into this now. Big F. The fight against Executioners was amazing. Need more of that!! |
 |
| Holy shit the executioners got lightsabers, pretty fire series so far. Have to say that's one hell of a fishy relation between Kansai and Kanto. Cutthroat seems to have quite the childish mind despite having killed over 1000 people. |
 |
| Cutthroat is annoying but the action scenes were fun. |
| Lol I'll call the girl Swindler from now on. I love the long lightsaber kunai and I don't know why |
 |
| Why does the flying bus emergency button makes it go HECCING fast instead, how does that makes sense |
| This was really great. The fight on the 2nd half of the anime was just superb. |
 |
| Pretty interesting, I like it so far ^^ The action is pretty fun to watch. Let's see how ordinary girl/ swindler makes it through this. All of the characters are pretty likeable, even the executioners (Cutthroat reminds of Juuzou). And I'm really loving all of the voice actors, like I'm just enjoying all of their voices in this :3 [I'm glad my brother recommended this to me]. |
| "Do I get to make more red flowers?" yeah idk about that one chief...... that was very cringe of you mr. cutthroat I wouldn't say I dislike her but at this point mc is just straight up stupid, seriously..... sabotaging yourself for criminals and murderers you've known for a day and for what?? I'm digging the brawler+hoodlum broship |
 |
| Hot damn. That fight scene at the end was so sick. The color changes, the choreography, and the holographic water effects were so cool. The animation and art for this show are out of this world. The characters are pretty enjoyable. Hoodlum especially is funny and really adds a needed comedic dynamic to the group. He and Brawler have some great interactions already. Swindler still best girl so far though! |
 |
| Still not getting the point, this just a mission and the cat find random people to accomplished it. Animation is great, this is cyberpunk atmosphere. Maybe this more like introduction of the characters and episode 3 will be their true mission with a huge prize. |
| The fight was way too good. I am loving the craziness in these fights and episodes plus the light sabers are awesome. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Really wish the "normal girl" gave the new rookie executioner a sign as to say I'm not doing this by will, it'd make things more interesting along the way, a bit of a "Help me I can't not do wrong or I will die" situation, forcing the good guys to save an innocent girl who is being forced to fight them. I feel like it'd make thing more interesting, like point at your collar bomb or something. |
