THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Pretty much how I expected it to be.

The OP has sweet visuals and it's nice to have Annabel perform the ED. The OST also sounds promising.

How was it adaptation wise? Did they censor it in any way?

First show of the season already has potential OP and ED of the season, whoa.
Art-wise it looks like standard fare manglobe, which is a very good thing, no censorship either, horay.

I feel bad for laughing at Nick's angry deaf man speak at the end there after he kicks the cop car.

Glad I read the manga and know quite a good amount of nihongo to understand :P It was a good adaption so didn't really needs subs ^^;

Friggin loved the OP :D Also No censors (well maybe there was just a slight little bit but nothing major). I wonder if the Funimation version won't have any either?

Getting to see Nic animated was awesome! Love his grins with the added smug sound XD

I wonder how many anime only's realized Nic was deaf from the phone scene at the beginning with how he was picking up :P

I was grinning like an idiot when Nic was talking even thought it was cute XD. Props to the VA (Tsuda Kenjiro...Totally heard a Bacchus (Fairy Tail) there ^^) for making it sound he was having trouble talking and his pronunciation for certain words.

Dat "Kimi to Watashi no futari" sign language in the ED was really cool. Nice touch. Looked a bit gay though LOLOLOL

adaptation wise it was pretty good, they even showed a scene i wasnt expecting to make it to the anime.

Solid OP/ED

first ep wasnt censored

overall so far it passes my expectations but its still a bit to early to tell.

A boring electropop OP with lots of painfully bright colours? Hold on to your hats, folks, the mindlessly dark anime of the season has arrived!

Haven't got around to seeing the episode yet, but that really puts me off. I was hoping the show wouldn't go in this direction..

C'mon it's just an opening,don't call it the new Akame Ga Kill based on that :D
I don't like the op either(pretty stylish though),but I think it was a decent start.Nothing too amazing but I'll stick with it because Manglobe.
The ED is great,the architecture and Mafia members using Katanas reminds me of Texhnolyze,but that's all.
I can't see where it is going tbh.

Judging an anime based on the opening is pretty stupid to begin with. Plus I'm hearing the first episode did a good job of adapting the manga, so as of right now I'm not worried.

Violent like the way I like it. I think I like the ED theme song better than though the OP. Good start so far although I think this will be a 1 cour.

just WHATTTT??? the phone was ringing? i didnt realized that,im deaf too and using hearing aids, maybe it was low? i realized he is deaf after doing that signs. and why you would be grinding cuz his talking's way, i assume you have never heard it before, the youtube is your friend!
i wanna know that kind Sign Language is this, is it original?? made up by the female author, i just found her gender recently.


Never mind, just found this was Japanese Sign Language.

It was everything I wanted. Great Adaptation, Good Ost, Good Voices and just seeing everything animated.

That part when the sound faded out before Worick took out the gang members was really cool. Also, Nic's voice is kinda scary.

OP is okay, but the ED is really nice.

Good start, hope it keeps up.

Ayyyy I love when they splatter bright shit all over an OP, the visuals here please me greatly. The brighter and the more painful the better.

Edit: I liked the introduction, visuals fluctuate from being amazing to sloppy. The sign language is animated beautifully at times though.
Keeping my expectations leveled, because I remember the beginning of this series was rather confusing but I will say that I really enjoy some of the characters in this.

Seems fairly promising so far, especially as it isn't censored. It was pretty much as I expected though, so I'm interested to see where it goes from here. Also, I quite like the ED but I can't say that I'm much of a fan of the OP.

This anime looks very promising! There weren't any black lines but the camera was moving sideways when it came close to that one guy without head but that's almost unnoticeable. The OST was fitting and i liked it (not so sure about OP or ED, but they both are ok i guess).

Looking forward to more episodes! Hopefully this will be 24 eps.

The OP sequence reminded me a bit of both Psycho-Pass OPs. The ED song is better though.

Barry's unit got thoroughly annihilated by the Benriya duo. Good thing it wasn't heavily censored. Hopefully, Funimation version would keep it that way.

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.

Decent start. Kinda curious about the Big Four mentioned by Chad in the first half. Benriya's eventual encounter with them should be interesting.

Okay the adaptation was at it's best. It's almost perfect. aside from using Alex. (a prostitute)
The OP was good but the EP was greater! Can't wait for the TL of the song and it's Full Version or it's Music Video!!
Can't wait for the next episode next week!!!

Pretty solid first episode. Wondering if it's an episodic show or not. If they don't censor and build up the characters nicely it should be a good show.

Loved the first episode. Nic is so BAD ASS. I like how Alex is made. And they are following the Manga for the most part. The OP and ED are INSANE.
