| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh, trying to defeat Juuzou with a gun is a mistake. Mary Steinberg is also pretty intimidating with her experiments. As far as the storytelling goes, it seems there's plenty of shady characters in the underworld. Someone like Juuzou isn't afraid to take risks but I assume others are vulnerable in such a society. Quite a thrilling episode imo. |
 |
| I was just wondering what happens when this gun guy is shoot in the head! |
| Jolyne Kuujou + Steel Ball Run Universe = Billie Eillish |
| I wonder how will the mc transform in the nest episode. |
 |
| Cigarettes as medicine? And i rly like Mary. |
 |
| No guns work on Juuzou. I like Mary already. |
 |
| ah shit even DIO is here |
 |
| Very well paced, enjoyable throughout, and Mary seems really chill. Sasuga, Madhouse. |

| I'm not really into the plot, but it's nonetheless pretty enjoyable. |

 |
| Good to know that after all those years Winry is still a automail freak! The plot is quite strange but it's very enjoyable! |
 |
| Wow, that was really boring. Extended extension to the extend of extent extendeds extend shut the fuck up |
| poop |
| Pretty good episode. Juzo seem a very interesting character, he remember me a lot Spike from Cowboy Bebop, I don’t know why xD |
 |
| The ED looks like it was made by the same people that did the flashback's in Kengan Ashura. |
| So was Juuzo lying to Cunningham about not needing his cigarettes to function? |
| This show just oozes style like nothing I've seen in recent memory, OP, ED, art style and that jazz soundtrack alike. Looking foward to this. |

| Completely hooked, nicely done show with solid style. |
asei said: At first, I was shocked that cigarettes are used as a medicine, and actually it would be nice point. But then he says, he smokes for the taste... OK Pretty sure he was lying. Him and Mary later talk about how she made replacement cigarettes to give him back his strength. |
 |
| Juuzo's goofy faces are hilarious and Mary is a cool character so far |
| Man, Madhouse is killing it with this series in a very fascinating way. And a 2-cour to boot, albeit split-cour. Juuzou is such a badass, and new girly human-cyborg character Mary is such a goof-ball. Searching for his favourite cigarette is definitely a pain in the butt. However the corporation after the test subject (Tetsuro) is such an epidemic, Juuzou decides to give them a taste of their own medicine, with Mary in the background. What an episode. Definitely having fun with this show. |

Extended extension to the extend of extent extendeds extend shut the fuck up drop the show then I almost fell asleep this episode to be honest. I expected more of the dialogue and characters, even the setting has been underwhelming despite the highly stylized art. Hope it can still surprise me, but this episode was weak to me and it seemed to lack heart. First episode was much more enjoyable to me |
| poop |
| Great episode, Juuzo's chibi face really gives me Alphonse vibes. |
 |
| I can't wait to find out why Tetsuro is a big deal to those guys, in detail of course. I'm loving Juuzo's character so far, funny and tough. I also think Mary is cool. Give the man his cigarettes. |

| So far pretty good. The exposition about the cigarettes was really on the nose. I wish they could have been a little more natural delivery that information. Even if it was less specific. |
| I'm really liking Mary's character so far but other than that, the episode felt kinda boring. I know it was mostly worldbuilding but still. |
| Man, I am just really enjoying this anime so far. I love Juuzo so much. The new blonde girl was very funny and reminded me of an archetype of female characters that were in a lot of late 1990s/early 2000s anime. It is an archetype I love. I was kind of hoping Juuzo would choose the cigarettes over the boy. That would have been funny. But Juuzo doesn't seem like the type of guy to give into corrupt people. Either way, another good episode. I'm actually excited for new episodes with this anime. Carp82 said: So was Juuzo lying to Cunningham about not needing his cigarettes to function? I don't know, I just think he REALLY really likes that brand. asei said: Only 2 episodes have aired and already the second season is announced? WOW!!! If the rest of this season will be as good as 2 episodes we have now, I will watch it. The best show of autumn IMHO. The second episode went smooth and fast and I left with a feeling that it just has started. I need more of this shit. We're on the same wavelength. This is definitely the AOTS so far. If this show stays consistently good, I may end up bumping it up to an 8 or 9. I feel upset when an episode ends. It makes you crave more of these characters, you know?  |
| It was okay. 3/5. Sad it has that shounen-feeling cause of some unneccessary comedy (while being seinen). The plot/action seem like they could be okay. I had expected a bit more after episode 1. But I don't know yet. Waiting for episode 3 then deciding. Surely watching it 1-cour might be possible. I don't think I could get long-term interested (for the 2nd cour or even more after that best would be full adaption in 2 cours). The best at this show are the OP/ED. OP music is one of the better ones this season. This needs more full action and pressure (constant thread and the company guys attacking). If they get more calm scenes with "time to breath" with comedy fit in (the jokes about gun-head guy having seen the naked girl that got repaired by mechanics girl) it will only get worse and not better. |
| They really tried to get Juuzo down just by stealing his cigarettes wtf The fights were nice to see and the story looks interesting |
 |
| Juuzou: "Oh, you think guns are your ally. But you merely adopted the gun, I was built into it, molded by it." |

| It just keeps getting better. I do think how he saved the kid was too easy, but at least the organization he is taking on isn't a pushover. Also, Mary is really cool. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| Only the 2nd episode and i'm hooked on this anime already! Juuzo is so awesome and effortlessly cool... even when he's sulking about his cigarettes haha I already love Mary! I can't wait to see more of Tetsuro now that he's awake. The more that's revealed about his backstory the more sick i feel! |

Hope it can still surprise me, but this episode was weak to me and it seemed to lack heart. First episode was much more enjoyable to me Well be patient , according to what I heard, 1st arc is about world building and to just let you know of the organizations or whatever is happening. Then onwards it's fully action packed like opm . Ever wondered why they are going all out cgi in background? It's like vinland saga on starting , except this is more complex. I don't see how this is more complex. Exposition was done in a very ordinary way, on the level of your average battle shounen and not even establishing much about the world or characers. Just characters telling each other things that they already know, so contrived and simple to deliver information to the viewer. Vinland Saga did it in a more skillfull way, in 2 episodes we gained way more characterization, world building, plot development and it all flowed perfectly. |
| poop |
| That fat dude is such an asshole |
 |
| This episode was delivered in a very boring fashion that quickly saw me lose interest (seriously, the "As you know" style of exposition is just the worst and the laziest way to go about it, and that was 80% of this episode), and that's even before the out-of-place comedy. What is this, a shounen masquerading as hard-boiled sci-fi drama? I'll give this one more episode until I decide whether to stick with it or move on. |
