Why the hell this scores 8.15 when its only one ep is aired !!
I wanted to go with the flow once in a while and watch something trendy ..anyway it was enjoyable enough to finish the ep but I dont think I will continue watching it not because its bad but I'm not excited enough to watch another ep ...the only thing that interested me the fact that one of the main characters is deaf I mean this is pretty rare phenomenon. other than this it was pretty normal .

I am so glad I saw so many people talking about this one because I was honestly going to skip it.

Also - I'm going to enjoy this if they put in more Japanese Sign Language. I only know American Sign Language - so I'm curious how much it differs!

Excellent show. Great pace, interesting characters. Super psyched for the next episode

Good start! Ah~ah... But I hope in the next episodes that they put subtitles on Nic's sign language :p (like in the manga)

Maybe it's just me, but when I was watching the part where Nic is going to follow Alex (to off her) I thought that he was following he out of concern or smth. Then I remembered what happened in the manga xD

It might confuse the anime-only followers. (Again, maybe it's just me)

Can't believe some still rated a cynical 7, 8 or 9 for a 10/10 first episode.
Either they are trying to be some elitist or their taste in anime is just striped panties...

Gangsta. Absolutely fabulous start. Suwabe and Tsuda really fits the rough guys. Noto still proving she holds the right to be a main heroine.

A much more drunk version of duo tandem GetBackers, but unlike them, these dudes are the real devils...

Great first episode. The grit of the show definitely hooked me.
This is also that type of show that has me looking forward to what the dub could be like. (Unpopular opinion, I know).
OP was fantastic, ED was also pretty good.

I loved the first episode, but people say that this show is toned down.

Hell yeah. I love stories about cleaners, especially if their job is taking out the cancer of society.

Dat OP 10/10 reminds me of Psycho Pass.

Awesome first ep, I'm glad they didn't censor the blood and I'm hoping for more badass episodes. Nic being deaf was a surprise and the seiyuu did a really great job when he was talking. Definitely looking forward to the next episode.

Both OP and ED were great!

7 pages in 2 days, clearly this anime is having high expectations.
I usually don't like watching drug and prostitutes live but I have to say I liked the first episode very much. I loved how one of the main characters is deaf and the sword is always a great fighting weapon :D

Seeing Nick's smirk, blood thirst and sword reminded me pretty much with Zoro. And then comes the blonde Worick who smokes cigarettes all the time and hates killing women which resembles Sanji. Weirdly enough this made me like the anime even more.

I try to not judge an Anime based on just the first episode. BUT HOLY SHITE THIS WAS AMAZEBALLS! I loved how they didn't go all out in the first episode but just slowly went on to show us the characters and the shitehole they live in. OP was...eh. ED tho, fuck, that was great! Nicholas and Worrick look to be interesting characters, particularly Nick. I wonder if they were in the army or something, since they had dogtags and all.

I enjoyed this episode - though I find it unbelievable that a swordsman can defeat multiple gunmen in an alley with little cover and room to maneuver. Guess he was up against stormtrooper recruits.

That was a pretty good start. So Nicolas is deaf that's why he knows how to lip-read and he speaks weird.

Where are the high schoolers? Not used to this...

On a serious note, I really do like this anime. I was happy the woman in the end found herself treated more respectably. Don't know the direction this will take since I haven't read the manga, but it seems really promising.

Does Nicholas have a thing for Alex? It kinda seemed like it with him being the one that gave her the handkerchief and even getting pissed when Chad wanted them to kill her. His speech style is pretty funny.

I feel like this will probably end up being superior to the manga, since so far the atmosphere is being nailed by the music, voice acting, and lighting. The pacing was a bit strange though, I was kind of surprised the episode ended when it did.

Also when the dang manga gon update? It's been since like february, I don't know if it's the scanlators fault or if it's just on hiatus. I miss it so much, at least this fills the void.

Great first episode, been meaning to check out the manga for a while, but held out when I heard there was an anime coming, so I'm glad it's finally here. Getting some serious Dogs vibes from this which is cool, and the OP and ED are both really awesome. Looking forward to how this one turns out, I have high hopes.
While the manga is good, i felt like it would be better as an anime. Its like they knew this was gonna have an anime adaption. Read it and you'll know what I'm talking about. Episode 1 so far was amazing.

Finally! A series with more violence and sex in it. Not that I advocate the former but it's something more realistic than a stupid shounen blushing by touching/holding a dumb girl's hand and ending up with a fucking harem he wouldn't know what to do with anyway.

I've read the manga several years ago and was pretty surprised it was adapted into an Anime series. I'm looking forward to this. Some censorship, not much. You could tell that the antagonist was getting a BJ and it wasn't implied subtly either, there was a woman draped across his lap with her head shoved in his crotch.

Worick and Nicholas are still as badass as ever, and their voices, in my opinion, are perfect.

I also like Nicholas's 'verbal' voice.

Hopefully some of the future fights look good, since we didn't exactly see any real fights yet.
