Not bad, but rather not my cup of tea. And I hope it won't turn into second Joker Game.
Also, I hate MC like this. I assume that the most hype is because of this and blood.
Nice art and animation.

Oh my god. AWESOME! Probably going to be the best series of the season. I hope it isn't as disappointing as the previous season.

alongside Thunderbolt Fantasy

Is OK that you like it but comparing Taiwanese puppet show (with Japanese dub) to anime title is like comparing apples to oranges.
Not to mention how strange is Thunderbolt Fantasy in relationship with the 91 Days totally traditional mafia stuff.

So you liked this apple and this orange but I don't get why you mention it here.


Just because one is puppet animation, does not mean its not anime. I know MAL thinks otherwise but that's just how it is for me.

And not apples to oranges - Thunderbolt Fantasy, Mob Psycho 100 and 91 Days so far are the only good shows this season.

Its nowhere near the level of Baccano as far as period works go, but so far this seems to have a lot of potential.


5/5


first episode of Baccano was trash though. this is off to a better start, we just have to see how it holds up.

Just like I expected, revenge, mafia and dark atmosphere. Good episode overall.

It isn't puppet animation but glove puppetry.
Also Japanese script translated to Taiwanese, and back to Japanese then to English...with ancient Chinese setting.

But I got what you mean - no comparison.

Last time, anime, that not feeling like anime, was Shouwa Rakugo and Joker Game. I hope that 91 days will maintain same quality and will not use too much revenge theme. I had assumptions, that Nero will have a aura of bad character, and in the end will be revealed that he is a good guy. But he already has been shown as a good guy.

A fair exposition episode.

The setting is a nice breath of fresh air: at least, no highschool!
To situate it around the prohibition era is a nice touch, as it lures us with an exciting serie noire premise.
I sincerely hope it's not there only as flavour for it would waste a potentially unique series.

To have Avilo's backdrop come by pieces throughout the anime would have been preferable, as the current instance give away his character too fast. I can't fully sympathize with his situation if the motive to his aloofness is rushed in one single episode. Slowly established intimacy between the protagonist and spectator, that's the way to go...
Fango bursting in provides a zany touch which swing the episode in a more action-oriented direction, it was welcomed to break the tension caused by helplessness of the MC's backdrop. I appreciated the ending resolution, even though the writers could have checked their facts: paraffine explodes with saltpetre, not water.

Art-wise, the title is uneven: chara-design is rather generic. It mustn't be too difficult to animate, yet I found Testa's death scene to be really strange. It's as if animators had no clue how to apply properly storyboard. Vincent is assaulted by knife, and yet his two henchmen seem to wait for their turn to act. It particularly feels unnatural at screen. Animation's a little jerky at times, but apart from that, it's decent. Background art provide a welcomed fantasy touch which takes us back to the past: I particularly appreciated it despite the fact the outdoors location somewhat look like theater sets. I guess that's the effect I get when BG art is too crisp and geometrically rendered. On the other hand, indoors parts are beyond reproach. It's particularly true for the seedy apartment Avilo lives in.

That's about it; I can't tell much besides this first impression.

it's been so long i watched and enjoyed good anime with Mafia/Gang world themes since Baccano and Black Lagoon , i know there was Gangsta. in 2015 but they really fucked it up in some last episodes, so i really put a big expectation on this one....

For first episode, one of the best for this season, can't really wait what happen in next episode..

I enjoyed it and like it so far. it was an interesting episode in characters too although i thought it was a little bit generic with the start. one family and their father has a connection with some mafia. with various reasons, the mafia betrayed him and killed him and his family too but there was one survivor, and always it's the children. i think it's gereric, but regardless of that, i enjoyed this episode alot. the action looks entertaining too. and somehow i was getting Baccano's vibe :D

looking foward for the next episode.

Really dark opening. I prefer these kinds of shows now over regurgitated shounen, shoujo, action, adventure, stupid high school/romance drama, annoying tiny voices of female characters with their disproportionate bodies and humongous tits. We need more serious Anime series like this.

IMO, this screams AOTS for me. It's probably my AOTS for now, everything else pales in comparison, even my beloved D.Grayman Hollow, ReLife, Orange and Mob Psycho 100, etc. are second best at this point.

I want to see how he's going to kill Nero and the other Vanettis.

Agreed this anime feels fresh. So tired of the same old highschool bs, waifu bait, bad Shounen's, ecchi, "cute" girls and boys etc.

Finally a more mature anime again, really hope they can keep the quality up.

Comprising a very good first episode.

A hardcore show not set in high school but instead 1920's Murica. WIN! The music and art is definitely a high point for me. The plot synopsis also seems interesting, interesting in a potentially "epic" way. Sure the series could go to shit, but I am getting a good vibe from this show already, we could be looking at a classic in the making here. Time will tell.

You're right. No. Just Mr. Brown as a family name or Midori (meaning Green) as a Japanese first name. Actually, there is also Hikari (meaning light) as a first name in Japan. May be they decided the characters' name with Japanese sense... Even so, Cerotto isn't understandable!

This was excellent. The best premiere of the season, alongside Mob Psycho 100 and sweetness & lightning. I hope it continues to be this good. Feels like a Hollywood mafia revenge story. I could probably show this anime to my family and they'd like it.

This was good. Not amazing, but definitely something that has potential. Solid plot definitely, visually appealing, good action, and the characters were pretty believable and empathizable. Although I'm not a huge fan of the MC being cold/robotic but hopefully other characters will make up for it (hopefully some female characters too cause they're all dead). The gang war kind of plot will get boring after some time and excess violence might be a turn off the more it progresses, so I'm hoping the creators could change some things up and add some nice secondary plotlines.

I was a bit too hyped for this but I'm feeling kinda taken aback by how they played it out. I'm really scared that this is going to be one of those really shallow revenge plot lines (although that's generally the story but I'm saying that I hope they'll not make it "your ordinary revenge anime".)

I was REALLY glad that they decided not to add some overly dramatic opening and ending with some lively music! It would ruin the "feel" and atmosphere the anime should set with the specific plot and time it has. I was soo relieved and both OP and ED were pretty cool in my opinion.

The characters looked promising and the art style... it was good but I don't know if it suits the whole theme or something. Then again, who knows.

I'll be checking it out for sure. But in really scared cause I'm pretty strict with the whole gangster thing and I don't want them to blow it up. Hope it'll turn out good.
Also- do we have any information about the episodes? (Certinaly not 91 I hope)

I saw "mafia" and "revenge" in the synopsis so I proceeded on watching it. Probably the reason why I was surprised on who Nero was and the possibility of Angelo being a traitor in the future.

I was surprised when the credits showed up by the middle of the episode. It gives the episode a movie vibe.

Hopefully it'll keep getting better and better.
