I love Hajime and Koneko. Brithday, is that seriously his name? Art, Nice, lol this is some seriously weird naming sense.

This reminds me of Tantei Inaba but a much epic and a bit less comedic version of it. I didn't expect this to be this lovable!

Thoughts:
1:24 breathtaking OP song. i even cried man tears.

4:36 ya… the jobs thing. Not really into episodic type animes because once u get hooked, it just ends too fast and can't enjoy it enough. I really can't stand those 'monster of the week' series.

5:25 what a douchebag… throwing that chicken in the glove compartment

8:43 the sound effects coming from that tiger sounds like the cape from super mario from SNES

11:08 can't stand the douchebag who leaves eggs in people's car

12:57 there's no way the red-haired bad dude can remember those complex numbers

18:05 creepy grandma maid wanting to wear high school girl uniform… Just terrible

21:33 dem dirty mags… actually look good

------------
Overall:
1. The OP song was so awesome it made me cry. I cried after 5 seconds into the OP. Even though the melody fell 'flat' in the song, the build up to the melody put me in an incredible trance. Man tears ftw.

2. ED song was average.

3. Those '1 second black screen flashes' really got annoying and strained my eyes a bit.

4. It just got so boring in the first half of this episode. I just found the story & what the cast was doing boring.

5. Those "super powers" are just so dumb in the 2nd half.

6. Voice acting is always top notch. graphics and music are good. Characters are just ok. Story seems boring, episodic & 'monster of the week' vibe. I intend on dropping this series but I'll watch 1-2 more episode before dropping. The OP song was so awesome. I just can't believe I found it in a crappy anime. EP 1: 3/10

This episode brought up a great question, that being why is being a broke hero so glamorized? I would have took that safe job contract without even thinking about it, but that makes me evil for not wanting to live on the edge barely surviving right?

I like the character designs. Unfortunately the episode had me bored from start to finish.

Dropped. I'll pick it up again if I see the score go up.

I went in with low expectations but this was actually quite good for a first episode! The humor had me in stitches and of course bishies+ dat cast and not to mention the pace, which was a bit fast was all the same a nice introductory episode.

I look forward to more.

Too much coincidence, but otherwise a decent intro. Nah, I actually liked it. Let's see how it goes from here on. (My expectations are still low though, so as long as it's entertaining it's fine by me)

I like the subtle comedy and the fighting style. I can already tell though that this series will feel rushed and appeal mainly towards the action seekers. I think I may follow the series but i'll probably just marathon it.

It was good but the animation is kinda bothering me.

Anyways, will continue watching it. I had fun watching it. It was pretty funny and I like mysteries. Looking forward to the next episode. Hope it doesn't get boring overtime.

It was alright i guess.... but somewhat predictable

I don't like the animation too much, it's a little too flashy and colorful but thats probably just me :)

Still, it's better than most of what i've seen from this season.

this show is a combination of durarara, k and darker than black.

it was a pretty fun 1st episode but it was predictable. the transition from scene to scene was too rushed and choppy. hopefully, the animation will get better since the episode wasn't organized.

still gonna continue this to see where it goes

Feel like this show is going to be just meh. Everything is just so average, exceptions being the OP and ED.

I'll stick with it until I get bored.

Interesting start to this anime series. They got pretty interesting special powers
Both the OP and ED were cool
That safe full of porn mags was hilarious
Gotta see how this turns out - looks ok so far.

The comedy was bland, and it seemed like a rip off of K and Heaven's Memo Pad. Probably won't keep up with it.

My thoughts exactly!

It was a good for a first ep, and the characters are likeable.

Really similar to Durarara and K! I love the animation style. Enjoyed watching the first episode a lot more than I should have, despite it being pretty weak, but there were funny parts. :)

It seems the general opinion on this one is split. I definitely enjoyed it, though. Funny, interesting characters, and more colors than I thought existed. Plus it seems their powers are similar to those in DTB. I'll be looking forward to more of this.

I'm liking this series so far, this was a good first episode. Kicked the series off rather nicely. The art is crazy cool, and those character names? LOL

It gave me a Darker than Black kind of feel, if DtB was an acid comedy.

I'll keep watching to see how this one turns out, hope it doesn't fall flat half-way thru.

Out of the winter 2014 line-up this one seems to be the most promising to me, hopefully there are more good ones to come.
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

Minimum Holders are interesting and cool. I especially like Nice's ability, I'm curious to know the other minimum holders' abilities.

That was really cool. Hopefully this does turn out to be a cool PI anime. The addition of Minimum powers will give it the interesting dynamic it needs. Art fits it really well. I personally liked all the characters.

Couldn't help but smile during the intro, show seems like the black sheep for the winter. Will be one of the best if it keeps up a overarching plot line. I agree with others that I think of K a lot when watching this.
