| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Not bad for an episode. Richard has an intellect that I'm keen on knowing more. First episode involves the hidden mysteries of a red gem with a certain level of mystique. I'm guessing this show's format will follow storytelling in a similar suit with different mysteries each time. Has potential. |

| Is this Shounen Ai? |

| This anime surely has potential to be awesome. I mean the concept itself is very interesting. Also 'Ratnapura' where Richard's granny is from means 'city of gems' in sanskrit. Kougeru said: There is no such a hint in the episode. It might turn out to be one, who knows?Is this Shounen Ai? |
 |
| I feel like it has an interesting story to tell, but on the technical side, it's pretty boring. I was mostly disinterested until we got to the ending backstory and I found it pretty interesting (though it does make me question how the fuck you can survive a train hit that's maybe why she's in the wheelchair), though pretty boring at points. It just doesn't do anything to make Richerd's job seem particularly interesting. Plus, while I know no matter what inviting the other guy into his business would be contrived, the way they did it here felt almost comically contrived. That doesn't mean that the animation is bad and the VA work wasn't bad but it overall wasn't a solid premier. |
It really do be like that though. |

| For those who are wondering about the BL thing on this anime: just by watching episode 1 I can tell that this has some fujobait vibes but it's not shounen-ai on it's essence. |
 |
OGAnime said: Please tell me this isn’t going to turn Gay Why do people watch anime aimed at fujoshi then complain about the fujoshi pandering? Are people that dumb that they can't tell that an anime featuring two sparky bishies on the cover may not pander to you? |
| Since no one said it yet, I guess I will. Looks like this is the... hidden gem.. of the season. |
 |
| So much better than i expected. Excellent. |

| Wow, this was dull. Also uh, Studio Shuka is not a bad studio, but between the dull colors and the giant chins, it also kinda looks like shit. I foresee QUALITY. The gay panic in this thread is p.funny though. |

That doesn't mean that the animation is bad and the VA work wasn't bad but it overall wasn't a solid premier. Quite exactly what I thought. It feels like one of those "it-may-as-well-be-a-live-action-J-drama-but-we-don't-have-the-money-so-we've-made-a-low-budget-anime" show. Nothing in it utilises the medium as animation. The story is fine (better than I expected) but it could've been presented in a much better way if only the whole thing was not handled so matter-of-fact-ish. |
 |
| the whole thing with hero of justice is pretty dumb, well at least richard is an eyecandy |
emraanash said: some people don't wanna watch this bcz it could be yaoi.. I want to ask them whats the problem?? Well, some ppl also dont like yuri stuff, and some ppl dont like yaoi stuff |
| I hope this would be more like that of Sherlock and Watson kind of relationship. |
| This was actually good. The art and animation are so beautiful. I love the character designs! Seeing two attractive men together, I wish this would be slightly gay, but not to the point of becoming a fujobait. I liked the story. It knew what it wanted to be, and I hope it stays this way till the end. |
emraanash said: some people don't wanna watch this bcz it could be yaoi.. I want to ask them whats the problem?? A lot of people also just watch garbage stuff because of the fan service, they probably would not keep with just the garbage/boring plot if there was none fan service. So, Since the material don't seems to be much good here it's easy to assume they could just don't have the interest to even start it. They already know there will be nothing to compensate for the boring stuff. |
| Heartwarming start, this has piqued my interest. I like both Richard and Seigi. The artwork and character designs are quite beautiful. Really excited to see what type of mystery anime this will turn out to be. |
 |
| Pretty bland and generic presentation but otherwise it was a nice episode. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Fine first episode, it seems to be kinda ok/good I hope it will improve |
 |
| Interesting show by the looks of it. First ep was pretty slow-paced but I'm guessing that's how it's gonna be for the rest of it. idk from where the BL vibes are coming from lmao. If anything the only slight romantic hint was with that encounter with the girl who almost got tricked by the old dude |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| for the love of god this is not gay or anything o.0 |

Cheap fan service works better for that |
| Sausagefest. Skipping this one. |

| “You can always die. It's living that takes real courage." - Himura Kenshin”. |
| It was fine but nothing special. This kinda slow drama could really be enhanced by great directing and animation, but so far it's just pretty average. I felt like I was having a stoke when the old lady went from "feeling so free and not sad" when her ring was stolen to being "so sad she wanted to die" because her parents were mad the ring was stolen. Like, are you dumb? Of course they were mad. Ahhh old ass times. Approval from family means more than your life. |
| I honestly thought that this was going to be a yaoi when they met, like, "that's the first time I met Richardo" Richardo. |
 |
| I agree that the presentation is a bit bland, which is a shame, but not dealbreaker for me, conceptwise it's interesting and I enjoyed the episode for that. |

| Not a very eventful episode but the end hinted at what could be a really great anime! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing where this goes and to be honest, I already really love Seigi and Richard. I like learning about the jewels and gemstones too! I found it quite funny that Richard wants Seigi to be informal with him yet he's so formal himself haha Also, Yuuma Uchida, Kana Hanazawa AND Takahiro Sakurai?! Now that it the cast that dreams are made of 😍 |
 |
| The visuals, OST and the anime in general feels relaxing, i enjoyed watching it. Idk really how will this story continue. 86/100 |
 |
| Pretty bad. If the "mystery" is why they would call explaining what happened a mystery, then this could be the worst show of the cour. |
| I really enjoyed it! This seems more like a slice of life series so far, the sort or mellow tone and soft bgm. Remind me of some of my other favorite episodic slice of life such as Bartender and Rokuhoudou Yotsuiro Biyori (except without the comedy). The presentation seems more grounded, which works for the story in this episode, most likely the rest of the series. I'd rather it not turn out like Kyoto Teramachi Sanjou no Holmes which is like fake mystery, but I feel like Shuuka has a good staff for this, especially with the same scriptwriter/series composition as Honzuki no Gekokujou from last season. If the source material is good, then this show is in good hands. |
| I was looking forward to this one, and I totally loved this first episode. Seigi and Richard are cool, and I love how that ring ended up connecting them after their first meeting. The story behind it, with Seigi's grandmother and that lady, was also good and kind of moving. He couldn't give the ring back, but I believe Seigi got the closure he needed. Can't wait for more. The OP and ED were also good, I especially liked the ED. |
 |
So to summarise..
I know they're going with the whole serendipity angle, but..  |
| This doesn't feel like a Shounen Ai to me, but rather a mystery/ slice of life series that revolves around the partnership between Ricard and Seigi. This is one of those animes you would want to watch at night while having a glass of wine. |
