| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow, they got right into it. The male protagonists are actually badass especially that Hanasaki guy. I'm impressed by the technology they've shown in the series as well. I'm definitely get the feel of the darker side of the show though in particular about that Kobayashi guy. In terms of technical field, the music is nice, fitting for a mystery show. Kobayashi got some personal demons to deal with, probably. I think the show has potential, decent start. |

| I thought it was a decent first episode, I just hope it remains that way and doesn't end up being a train wreck like the last Ranpo Edogawa-based anime we got. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Not really getting the story so far but the animation and ost are beautiful! The villain seems interesting as well |
Nice start. Didn't expect it to get so dark right off the bat... Nice visuals and OST too.. Though they could improve a little on the OP :) Welp, at least this ain't no total fujibait :> |
 |
| This is probably the most unique one of the season so far...in terms of pacing and style. Really fast pacing (short scenes following each other) and quite a bit of style, not sure if i liked it or not, it kind of surprised me. |

| Brown haired protagonist was annoying. Boring first episode 2/5 |
| Animus and mangos |
| It was so-so. Some things were pretty cringe-worthy, other things were alright. It also has a nice hook but terrible fanservice. Nice coincidence that they are also using Ranpo's 20 Faces here because I'm also watch Daughter of 20 Faces, eh. |
 |
| not sold on it . the pacing was allover the place and im already annoyed by the male MC and that whiny bitch he followed the whole damn episode. 5/10 |
| nice start. found the first anime i will definitly watch this season |
Chimera-Ant Arc sucks A1-Pictures is great Lelouch is alive  |
| That was a really cool start. The ominous opening sequence with the monologue about death was really good. The characters seem fairly interesting and likable so far and I really liked the use of all the gadgets as it gives it the show a nice sci-fi atmosphere on top of it's slight dark overtones. Quite interested in how Kobayashi power came about, Sad that he had to live as a recluse and also that he wishes to die. Wonder if there's any truth to Hanasaki claiming that he would kill Kobayashi? That guy they were trying to save was just plain annoying, Why do there always have to be stupid ungrateful characters like him? :( Show has potential to be really interesting, Here's to hoping it doesn't end up like Ranpo Kitan. |
 |
| this looked promising...let's see how it goes for now |
 |
| This was beyond ridiculous. The whole episode, I was wondering if they were actually serious. It really looks like a parody. |
| This was mediocre at best. I'll try to give it another chance but it was just... average. The only thing I liked was the silver-haired boy cuteness and that's not enough to keep me watching. |
 |
| Another fujoshi garbage anime. Nty. |
| This'll be a good show to satisfy my mystery genre itch for the season. Onward!!! |
| Reminds me of Noragami |
| The main character looks just like Akise Aru from Mirai Nikki, I swear. I can't get over that. |
 |
| Eh, this show's probably not for me. TracksuitDude annoyed me constantly. OwlGirl seems like some bizarre form of pandering to the audience. I'd have liked to have some detective work in this episode, rather than just 'turn up at place, point gun at randomer' - I want mystery in my mystery anime And TwentyFaces did the 'disappear in puff of smoke' thing... *sigh* Maybe it's because I was somewhat stung by the last Ranpo anime, and I'm just bitter. Anyone know of a good Ranpo anime? |
| Suicide boy is really cringy to watch. Don't see why people are praising the visuals/animation, it doesn't look like anything more than your standard show. Points for not CGIing the cars, mechas and background people though. Feel like I'll probably drop this after a couple more episodes but who knows for now I guess. |

| Yeaaaahhhh ... That was pretty cringy and bad. I have a bad feeling about this one. For me its the worst first episode this season, so far. Still going to try a bunch of other episodes tho, we never know |

I'm hoping for the same! The first episode was interesting but so was Rampo Kitan first ep . And because of that I have low expectations when it comes to animes about detectives but I really want this one to prove me wrong. sosiick said: Well I definitely did not expect them to show us the main villain's face just like that. Me too! also one of the things I like about Twenty Faces is not knowing its true face and now that scene ruined the series (a little) for me Trickster: Ranpon Kitan + futuristic setting + unknown superpower. |
| Wow i got goosebumps at the start! And i gotta tell ya, the Opening was incredible, really like the tune and the singer, wow! And just mind-blown by the technology they had during the episode 10/5, kind depressing when you thing about Yoshio and all, but think Hanasaki and Yoshio doing to have a great time together xD And gotta admit , they really impressed me with this, was quite unsure about this watching the trailer! looking forward to see more about this! |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| First half: Kind of edgy, but its not that bad, interested to see how it goes. Second half: Well that just went to shit fast. (Gotta love Daisuke Ono though) |
| It was actually pretty decent, although the whole chasing white haired boy round thing got to a point where I was like 'k are you done yet'. I gotta wonder why brown haired guy is so interested in him though? The Pilates girl is the weirdest form of fan service I've ever seen. |
| Interesting first episode, the soundtrack is great. Kobayashi reminds me a lot of Dazai from Bungo Stray Dogs - for obvious reasons - but just a lot bit more whiney. Looking forward to next week. |
  |
| Not a bad first episode, I liked it. I can't say I like the suicide boy so far, though. Kinda a cringeworthy one... I hope this show won't end up as mediocre as Ranpo Kitan. |
  |
| The edge nearly cut me in half and all that teen yaoi love in the air (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I like the designs and the futuristic tech and powers are cool too 9/10 CUTE, A CUTE <3  |
 |
| it looks like this will end up being all kinds of wrong |
| Boring and really bad....... Dropped! |
| Enjoyed that. Stunning visuals. Was listening to the opening thinking "sounds like the group from Final Fantasy 7 DoC" and then up pops their name lol |
| Edgy ass kid right there. Happy to see Osaka Ryota on something again. Where was he lol |
| holy shit this was awesome =O those 2 main guys...the super cute nori...even nao/akeshi jokes... damn i'm gonna love this one i think |
fav "new" girls from winter <3 (2 extra girls this time, but 36 seasonals so whatever) ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| beside, i love that the fucking bubble of the edgy MC sometimes works and sometimes dont. Like when the other MC throw a bottle, the bubble slice it but after that he gives another bottle and ... hey ! nothing happens just like that lololol also he tries to kill himself multiple times, cutting himself and shit but suddenly there's a scene where he randomly get cut... Man, that bubble is so random. |

| STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| there is only 1 episode all right, lets see how this go for the rule of 4 eps, there are a lot of yaoi vibes from this, but i think i can handle it unless shit happens, also we have this generic "i have done nothing wrong" again lol, but i'm a bit curious about his Curse ( i wouldnt call it super power, seems more like a curse) |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| the music in the middle was pretty nice i guess |
   |
| Gackt ahhhhhh 😍 😍 Loving Hanasaki and Kobayashi |
| Hanasaki is already annoying me for some reason. |
| Too much like Bungou Stray Dogs for me. Dropping it now. 6/10 and gone |

Man, that bubble is so random. I get the feeling that if you throw something his subconcius feels danger and protects, while if you just bring it it doesnt react. Althouth I didn't get why he got a scratch. I personally liked it. Well at least enough to get me watching more episodes utill I get what is going on! |
