----------------------------------------
To be honest I went completely blind into this series. Form what I saw in trailer I thought that it is about heists and/or vigilante action. But I was wrong it is crime story form the side of the law.

First episode intrigued me. However more in the fact that characters are adults and not in their personalities. Lets hope that will be fixed later on when show will do more character development.

Visually this show has some quirks, for example weird perspective is in some shots. But overall aesthetics of the show and character designs more than make up for it. Hand drawn cars are godsend.

All in all I like this first episode and I am going to watch it further.

Well, the first episode was ... Okay? Nothing new or insane wasn't happened in episode. The first thing that came to my mind that I watch a first episode of "B: The Beginning", but without that "Shounen" Boy, who wants save his love and stereotypical genius-lazy detective.

I hope in the end we get a really good ending and revealed all characters. I'll give this show a chance.

For the first episode, i really liked it, even the animation. The only thing i had a problem with is honestly the cgi crowd?

My only thought during this episode was... "The cops are incredibly incompetent..."

Solid first episode. Looks like a high-octane crime thriller with some strange mask technology. I expect Sarah to be saved by James at least 2 times before the season's over.

The first ep wa okay, it didn't really leave a big impression on me but I have a feeling it'll be one of those shows that are slow to begin with but start to pick up as you go on, well I hope so at least

An anime like James Bond series? Well that's quite interesting, generic buildup for such a story but the pacing is a bid on the slow side. Still quite interesting! Looking forwards to see what this series will offer!

Holy jump cuts Batman! The action scenes felt so weird, every shot felt like it was cut short. Also I kinda have no clue whats going on but that might be the norm for this show.

Why are Netflix "Originals" so unimpressive for the most part?

There's just enough here to keep me interested, I guess. Luckily, the character designs are pretty and they trying to have the characters be fashionable but the animations sometimes leave something to be desired.

Nice animation and by the looks of it a crime story about criminals using appearance changing masks

Nothing too special this first episode outside of the crazy villain blowing up some building in style

The drawings of faces are distorted and eyes are too big for a realistic character design. Also the mask men's part was theatrical and unnatural. Another class-B/C Netflix original anime.

From the first episode it was okay. Good setup of the everything but I’m afraid it’s going to turn out rather generic. But I’ll have hope. Characters didn’t do much for me, wanted more from Monica before her death as she’s the reason the characters are doing this. Hopefully we can get flashbacks of her along with the other characters. The animation was good apart from some cgi crowds. But I really like the art style, comes across really western and it just looks nice. Overall I’ll carry on.
