Oh wow. I am... surprised. I don't have any background with the source and I also haven't seen the teaser but I think this episode is pretty cool. Dayum, Daisuke is got a way tooooo much money XD The OP and ED songs were really good tho.

This episode kept me wanting for more in the sense that the episode seemed pretty mediocre but it looks like it has potential. Waiting until episode 2 or 3 to know if I should drop it or not.

I love Miyano Mamoru's voice acting, he just has that "handsome guy" type of voice. He did voice Lelouch and Yagami Light after all.

Agreed, Mamoru is as handsome as his voice to boot. But did you mean another role instead of Lelouch? (Lelouch was voiced by Fukuyama Jun)


Oops I don't know why I accidentally typed Lelouch, I'm rewatching Code Geass now lol

I'll replace that with Osamu Dazai from Bungou Stray Dogs instead

I didn't hear of this show until yesterday when Twitter couldn't stop talking about Daisuke...

With that said, wow Daisuke is a jerk, but he's really HOT lol. I love the animation, very sleek.

That episode was hilarious. Didn't expect that anime to be that good. First I thought it was just some bishounen and otome game adaption or something to cater to female fans. Didn't even plan on watching episode 1. Description sounded "okay" only.

Now with the good score on MAL and other shows being postponed I decided to give it a try. (Also saw it was noitaminA which I didn't realize earlier.) Great OP and ED.

And the main char is fun. He just buys everything and his AI butler seems to be able to do transactions in real time and even being able to control public services (traffic lights, bridges). Then the "I came, I saw, I sponsoered" - I guess that's how he got the job as detective.

I love that comedy. AOTS candidate together with the more serious showas Yesterday wo Utatte and Arte. Great season. Less showas but 3 great ones so far. (Previous season for me: Less showas ... barely 1 that was great.)

I found a familiar name in the beginning of the OP credit. The author is a famous SF novelist known for "Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo", "Portraits of Eight Families" and so on. As he also writes trash, we've got one of those this time.

Well ... Yakushiji Ryouko (about a female detective) was also based on a novel source from the same guy that is responsible for Legend of the Galactic Heroes. So ... not too unsual for authors to write different stuff.

And that wasn't bad and here it also isn't bad. (Though here it seems like the plot will be less relevant but more about comedy.)

Who cares about the female fans that have Yaoi fantasies - as long as the anime isn't doing anything to cater to those fans?

Feels more like this is going to be funny a lot. The millionare guy feels very out of place in the police. Almost as weird as Sakamoto in his school from Sakamoto desu ga.

I don't understand why so many people are complaining when only one episode is out so far. It seems very interesting and I hope that romance stuff is kept to a minimum. Characters have potential, the animation is smooth although I do admit that some parts are drawn out too long, and the ost is very catchy.

Well that was something. This series definitely doesn't take itself seriously. Not at all what I expected. Well it was kinda goofy and had some absurd stuff happen so I'll stick around for a bit. The gimmick is literally that dudes balance is unlimited so that's pretty memey.

opening was like a very bad ripoff of psycho pass opening scenes.... and I was cringing the whole time. I mean the animated part.

I guess I'll watch several more episodes before dropping. If I don't take it seriously and laugh my head off like I did it with this episode then maybe it won't be that bad.

I don't know what I expected before watching the first episode but boy that was awful.

The character design drew me in and although I know it's only been one episode all I can say is that this was a mess. Apart from the soundtracks, the ending song and the character design, everything was all over the place and unpleasing to watch. The first minutes left me confused and the rest of the episode left me wondering when it would finally end.

The pace was really awkward and so were the characters. Unfunny, bland, cliché. The main rich guy is hot, whatever you call it but has no charisma, has a shitty personality (though it feels like so far, his only personality trait is his money) and his voice actor did an awful job. It doesn't suit him. Yes it's his debut role but it really sounds off.

The plot.. Well the plot had potential but it somehow felt like they wasted it and narrated it in such a weird way that it felt like there were no plot, just random cops chasing teenagers who robbed a chocolate shop.

Of course it's just the first episode and I'm willing to give it a second chance next week but so far I'm just amazed at how people went over the anime itself to focus on the 2 mcs. No, hot anime boys don't make a good anime, sorry to break it down to you.

However, when the MC spoke arabic I barely understood why he said. Japanese voice actors are so horrible when they speak other languages


Actually, it was pretty good attempt, coming from a native speaker. I understood everyone speaking Arabic without subtitles.

I'm curious about how the dynamic between Haru and Daisuke will be and how it will change through the series. Although Daisuke is very suave, he also gives off arrogant vibes which I think Haru will need time to get used to or get over if they want to get work done. But the first episode has gotten me interested, so I'm excited to see what's going to happen next.

That was a really fun first episode. The OP was great, both the song and the animation.

Daisuke is like.... Bruce Wayne without the Batman alter-ego? Or maybe Bond. I don't know how his bank balance is unlimited or if it will ever be explained, but it's a fun gimmick. If he does nothing but be a smug bastard and rack up as much damage and fees as possible for the whole show, I'll still enjoy it.

Giving a character unlimited money is making things very boring. Buying yourself out of everything is an easy way out of every issue the character has. Even if the animation and music is good, the plot is very plain. Nice package, bad product.

Also, they try very hard to show that the main characters are hetero. While still queerbating the shit out of them.


I think you will be surprised. It would be foolish for the story to not toy with the idea that money can't buy everything. That will most likely end up being a key element to the evolution of the story.

Ugh. It's beyond ridiculous to hate on a girl character just cause she's viewed as an obstacle to their ship. I'm getting flashbacks of a Fandom that thrashed a real person just cause her role kissed one of the guys of said Fandom's ship. Also, going as far as complaining for the "Queerbaiting" is both hilarious and stupid when it never said anything like that. Talk about being misogynistic and heterophobic. 🙄

Tbh, I think calling it the best Anime of the season or even calling Daisuke the best lead is an overstatement. It got its audience because of how much horndogs there are over that one character. The other main, Haru, doesn't seem to be that recognized except for a "BL partner" which concludes Fujodanshis are also hyping the show. It's still the first episode yeah and it's getting some criticisms out but let's face the reality that most of the fans came for a douchebag of a rich guy (1st impression) and hoped this has an underlying Yaoi/BL plot.

I agree. This anime is mainly hyped because the 2 mcs are "hot/cute" and people ship them over well... Nothing because all that is going on between them are hate and scorn. The only thing people can praise this anime for is the character design which again, is nice but not enough to make it a good anime. We'll have to see how it goes next week but so far I find this anime really disappointing and bad overall.

Yes lol, it's ridiculous. Twitter girls are all praying she is a sibling or something so she won't get in the way of their BL ship. It really shouldn't affect how people perceive this anime whether it has a homo or het ship because the story will be focused on this action/comedy stunt kind of thing it has going on. There has been NOTHING in this anime that hints at a pairing other than in the OP where Daisuke is holding the girl so...

It's weird because most of the BL shippers are all straight themselves and want to date Daisuke but hate if he is already engaged lol

Reminded me extremely of Copcraft but well 2 extremely different detectives are the archetype since Holmes and Watson. However, the visuals are far superior and the chracters more believable and functional. The little linguistic excourse into Arabic was unexpected and impressive. The humor was on point and fairly mature as well.

Definetly on my must watch list.
