Oh yeah man, this show is freaking awesome XD Theo is SO COOL XD Nina is all right too, not a huge fan of her yet but maybe she will impress me a bit more later :P Get a bit more background with the Dog tags ... so they're not exactly human? Nico's a A0 class and that other guy was B2 ... so I'm guessing he's at the top of the food chain :P
So these "Twilights" ... seems like the B2 guy was one of them and he was hired (then killed) by some other guy who knows how to find a bunch of them. Couple of hints in this episode like the wanted posters of the duo as teenagers, and then the blank piece of paper Theo gave Alex. Maybe a free pass for a prescription or something? In any case, looking forward to more next week :D
ALSO THIS BACKGROUND MUSIC SO GOOD!!!

I'm gay but I think I'd go straight for Nicolas, NGL. He's basically 90% of the reason I'm watching this show.

Fantastic episode as usual. Love the doctor.

Jesus, Nicolas is just too much of a beast.
Lol at the doctor losing his key to the front door :D
This anime is just so satisfying. Loved the interaction between Nicolas and Nina during the episode.

terrible op, pretty mediocre ed, WAY too many character cliches: a doctor who likes dicecting, hard on the outside but actually kind main bad ass, bad guys not caring about their comrades lives (omg they are so horrid they will kill their partners in crime) and it's hard for children in anime to be anything other then boring or plot devices, well shown in this episode.
so want to drop this right now but i still will stick to the 3 episode rule before dropping, it could go better (i think there is a 20% it will)

We already knew that he was a good guy because he gave his handkerchief to the girl and he fed the cat in the first episode. The stuff about dogtags is exposition/worldbuilding, not characterization.
Neither was I talking about him being a good guy, nor is the explanation of Dogtags world-building. What I was referring to is how they might explore Nico's past next episode because we can infer from Nina & Worick's remarks, that they might shed light on who Nico is -- which is characterization, as it explores the character.

^pretty much this.

Comedic, exciting, action-packed, and definitely getting the audience wanting more Gangsta.
I already love the friendships this Benriya team has- between each other and their customers/friends (omg Nicolas and Nina are such good friends it's cute)
Throughout the episodes we are definitely going to get hints of Worrick's and Nicolas' past, which is really exciting and I cannot wait.
And nothing is better than the badass fighting- everybody loves watching Nico kick some serious butt!!

Nco is way too badass. Man of little words, but when he speaks, they tend to be the last words you'll ever hear :P


Wonder what that blank paper that the Doc handed to Allie meant.

Another good episode. Hope they introduce the sadistic shadows next week.

Don't know how I feel about the sudden dragon ball Z fights and Dogtag gimmick. Can't say it isn't fun tho, Nico's grumbly voice is love and the OST gets you hyped.

This was a very badass and action-packed episode. The only issue I had with it were the decrease in animation/art quality. For example, the character's faces were not as detailed as in the first episode, and the backgrounds, specifically near the end of the episode were less detailed; for example in the clinic. I especially liked the introduction of the new character: the doctor! At first I didn't think much of him, but once he killed that guy with the syringe, my view totally changed!

Another solid episode.

Too bad the other guy had to go and fire his gun... kinda made the use of the silencer pointless.

So how many pipes did that B2 guy yank from somewhere? 2? 3? Lost count.

Don't know, I'm not sure what to make of this show... There are some things good about it, but many things are just meh for me... I don't really get the Black Lagoon vibes from it. It seems like this show is trying a bit too hard, but just from being about mafia and gangsters and stuff it's still a long way to the awesomness a Black Lagoon was.

NICO IS BADASS! Also I liked Nina, hard-working and has great interaction with Nico.

So far I'm liking it... one thing that bothers me though is the animation inconsistency, some frames are terribly drawn.

He's definitely Asian. The manga is rife with references to him being Asian, Oriental, yellow, etc. But...

Are you serious right now? He's deaf, not mute.

Sooo badass! Worick saying ciao before killing people, enemies standing around when others talk in typical manga-adaptation fashion, Nico and the doctor playing around mid-fight, cheesy dialogue like "hurr durr you got no chance I am B2 muhahaha", power levels, horrible coreography, and the shocking "he's not really a bad guy" revelation that ends the trite character drama in this episode (because feeding cats and being gentle to kids didn't make it obvious enough).

Dropped.


> Worick was pretty badass there (specially cause he killed those dudes without hesitation).
> Like they would have done anything to Nico.
> Doctor trying to inject Nico was hilarious, calm down.
> Power levels are supposed to be a bad thing?
> "Horrible choreo" okay.
> She wasn't there to see the cat being fed. She also just witnessed Nico slice up a guy's chest and he gave her a cold stare right after. Pair this up with Worick's "Beware of Dog" speech... the hell were you expecting her to think?

You're awesome.

Didn't peak my interest at all. Pretty below average episode after quite a good first episode. I will give the anime another episode. Certainly not my type of show. You guys enjoy.

Pretty much this, though I usually am fine with shows like this (I LOVED Black Lagoon and Jormungand). Either way, this episode was okay, but meh. I'll give it another episode too. Hope it'll be better, otherwise I might drop this.
