Nacchan and Tenchan in one anime yet again? Aaaah it's like having Ken and Touka together ❤️


Anyway, the episode was fine. Appare is an interesting character. I'd love to see how the story progress.

Steam punk canon ball run meets Wacky Races, I'm totally on board with this. Only odd thing the the MC looks very feminine, from the promo poc I though it was a woman.

Also compare to the early 80s hit "The Cannonball Run"
...but then again, I unironically like Warau Salesman.

The Credit Scene in the first section of the episode hinted the upcoming events and the character that we will be seeing the future episodes.

Hated the red guy, I really hate that personality, also the lack of sense

Getting out of jail with a lot of dangerous guys just bc yes?

Saved by a big boat when they were doomed at the sea?

Whao, I know this is the setting for the story but I can´t buy it

Holy shit this episode was so good. The humour, the art, everything.

It doesn't make sense though, which at this point, I don't mind.

I like the premise and the art is really good, i'll keep watching and hopefully not drop it like Kabuki Sherlock which gave me similar vibes.

I was somehow disappointed that the story feels like it needlessly has to flesh everything out instead of going for the race early on. The opening scene looked fun and interesting with colorful cars and characters that contrasts poor with the kinda boring plot in Japan.

At least they´ve gotten to America that might build a more interesting scenario of being a foreign environment for them to explore. And I hope they get to the race as soon as possible.

What a great start! This dude is basically Senku v2 but in the steam age xD
When he saw that ship, he could smell the freedom it brought.

Lmao

I really enjoyed the first episode. The dynamic between the lead characters is very Spongebob-Squidward like, mixed with that one Tom and Jerry movie I guess? If the rest of the series is as fun as it's first episode it'll be an easy recent favourite.

Pretty average first episode, 5/10. I'll give it a few more episodes to see if I like it any.

I honestly thought the kids was a girl. I guess it's the outfit, hair and...lips/face(?). What's with the lipstick joker looking face stuff? Idk if there's significance to it or not.

The trap MC Appare is quite the unique fellow, bit of a horrible attitude and annoying to deal with but good thing he has someone like Kosame who tries to understand him. Didn't expect a unique race anime, but I'm already digging this interesting setting.

Love the first episode, the opening scene reminds me of Hanna-Barbara's Wacky Races. But more importantly is the red haired main character and their personality, the first thing they made me think of is digibro/diginee's ideas on autism and neurotyping and that this character is most definitely a genius autist, who comes off as eccentric because of it. This coupled with the seeming analogy of youth being held back and repressed by a family and society which instead of restraining should have been helping and nurturing leads to the show seemingly being about world discovery past the walls you had previously not known and learning to survive on your own within this new greater world; resulting is self discovery and awareness by being allowed to truly be yourself unrestrained by the aforementioned bonds.

Beyond the red haired main character, the dynamic between the two is clearly the japanese straight man- funny man Manzai routine, save that the 'funny one' isn't played as a joke or even weird by narrative directing or acting but only by contrast the other characters being 'normal'.

This anime seems goddamn interesting but the first episode was boring. Maybe its just the first episode and nothing more.

Honestly one of my favourite first episodes I've watched in a while, I think the jokes are well timed, the character designs are all so bright and colourful and the backing music sounds so good so far. Just hope the next 12 episodes don't let me down.

I'm kind of just bothered with the paint around mc's mouth, also I love his speech about how the world is connected.

I think this was an alright episode, though I guess I did like it overall. Not sure how to feel about Appare yet though, but we'll see! Just glad I can finally watch this now that's it's available for me
