| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I must say, that's a pretty stylish opening song. Catchy theme too. Pretty cool show actually. We got a cast of characters with somewhat professional backgrounds. There are cases open and a city of problems that needs to be solved. The art style of the show looks mature enough and the storytelling so far feels like it has a lot of potential. Haru and his partners are characters to keep an eye on. There's also violence in the city as I had expected. |

| This was such a strange beginning. There were awkward moments of silence, some weird directorial choices with shots going on too long and the dialogue being pretty substandard. Also, for emphasis, what was the weird spacing between dialogue. There were several moments where someone would say something and then there would be an awkward amount of silence. It was strange. It doesn't help that none of the characters really come off as likable, with the exception of Haru I guess. Daisuke seems like a prick who has a shit ton of money and I guess his introduction to Haru was funny but than he just looked down on Haru and then when he was on the bridge. Hopefully he gets better. Also, while I liked the music and it was worked in pretty well, with the exception of the end where they were at the helicopter pad. I still liked it and the OP was decent and the ED is pretty good too. The production looks solid and the animation was pretty good but that's the best positive I can think of. |
It really do be like that though. |
| Good music, decent animation (kinda bland character designs though), don't really care about the characters nor story just yet. It wasn't horrible but never grabbed my attention really. 4/10 for its premiere but I won't write it off yet. That opening song does suck a lot though. Came off as really annoying and didn't fit too well either. Ending song is decent enough by OKAMOTOS. |

| Out on Ani-Plus Asia YT Channel (01:25 pm was a mistake after all). Definitely an enjoyable watch first up. Particularly loved the professional vibe and atmosphere of the city plus the Animation and Soundtracks seems great so far as well, so it's a tentative thumbs-up from me. Certainly felt that there were some awkward moments every now and then though and my first impression of our main duo not the best although their dynamic might just prove to be the game-changer. Kambe-sama's definitely one of those darn spoiled kids, and the VA perfectly nailed that lol. Meanwhile, Haru's your typical "Majime" and "Justice" type so it'll be interesting to see how this duo will fare over time. Awkward final few moments there in the end were a total treat too xD. Haru-san's pal being into older females bit was oddly funny and unusual for the medium, in my opinion. Don't know why this kind of left an impression on me... Op and ED, both from the music and visual standpoint gets a plus from me too. Again, pretty unusual but great nonetheless. I wonder if this'll turn out to be a battle against the ganglords or something of the sort. Definitely got that vibe from here for starters. Whatever the case, I'm looking forward to more! |

| I know they will do a better job with Kanbe with the upcoming episodes, but damn, he's on another level of craziness. I'm also not really sure who they are targeting here, but it was interesting enough, so i'm gonna watch and see where we are going. |
| The beats in this show are really top notch. Can't wait for more. |
| Seems they're following a case by case approach. That's fine and all, but that sort of format seems flimsy, and the presentation feels rather superficial with barely much weight to establish a proper tone and atmosphere. I just wanna see that one woman fire off that damn RPG launcher xDDDD |
 |
| That was a lot of fun! Much better than expected! |
| Giving a character unlimited money is making things very boring. Buying yourself out of everything is an easy way out of every issue the character has. Even if the animation and music is good, the plot is very plain. Nice package, bad product. Also, they try very hard to show that the main characters are hetero. While still queerbating the shit out of them. |
| Enjoyable episode. Lowkey bothered about daisuke. I expected him to be a bit of a dick but here it seemed a bit much. Hopefully it’s not too much of a problem going forward. |
 |
| There was so much nonsense happening that I didn't stop laughthing. I loved this episode and I wish this will get better |
| I felt like the first episode was well made. It left us with something to look for in episode two, and the first episode kind of gave us a pretty good sneak peak of how the show will be like. To be honest, the opening and ending were both bangers. I really liked them for some reason and can picture myself listening to them for a long time. |
What's up, how you doing? |
| ngl the Cobra and Continental GT were what drew me into this show. Although I don't think I've ever seen as many classical cars in an anime before lolol But oddly enough, this ep felt really silly to the point where I think it could actually be quite fun. Kinda gave off a Bungou Stray Dogs vibe to it, let's just hope it doesn't end up being a Special 7 type of show :P |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Ending song and visuals are pretty good, episode reminds me of Acca. |
| Ngl, both of them are pretty hot. |

| This was a mess in a good way and honestly a blast to watch. Already looking forward to the next episode. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Well, that was interesting. |
| Definitley the best premiere of the season. It's very slick in its debut and I'm not talking about Kanbe. The whole production is thematically on point from music to storyboard to special effects. Excited to see how this turns out. |
| The entire time I was watching the first episode, I kept wondering "who is this for?" and by the end I still have no idea. Personally, I think this season's pretty damn good so I can't really envision this show of all things to be anyone's top pick. The biggest issue I had was with the millionaire detective himself, who comes off as a spoiled brat at best. Which, to be honest, I don't always mind if they're entertaining or well-written, but he's just a boring asshole. The new VA isn't even doing that bad, it's just a poorly written character. .....All that being said, the man's a snack and a half, 2/5. |
| There's much potential for the main characters to have some chemistry, what with Daisuke being kind of a dick and using money to get out of any predicament and Haru trying to uphold justice above all. The best thing so far imo is the music, it's really catchy and unique. |
| What THE HELL did I just watch lol I wasn't going to watch this, but after checking the opening and having my ovaries exploding all over (which is not something that happens often) I could not not watch it. BUT SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HELL? Miyano's character is *dead* after falling down in the water from that distance. But I know I'm not supposed to take anything seriously in this. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SMUG BILLIONARIE BASTARD. I bet all billionaries are just like that lmaoooo I literally had no idea what was happening, but it was fun and unpredictable... And incredibly dumb! A MESS that I ENJOYED A LOT. |
 |
| Kanbe Daisuke's an asshole...but he is hot as hell hope that this turns out to be a great show |

| the first ep was really good. im excited for more! And im shocked when i heard them speaking arabic it’s awesome I understood without subtitles. Also, seriously he spent a total of 12,632,295 $ USD in one episode??? meh |
  |
| just gonna say it now, the fact that they were all so good looking was a major reason that i was screaming while watching the first episode. however, unlimited money and the fact that this is supposed to be a mystery anime has got me also very excited. also i love all the side characters too so far! |

I don't know what you mean with me misunderstanding him as a character. He seems like a complete dick and uses his unlimited money to get out of problems. I don't know what I can misunderstand there. Besides, he wasn't even really an issue with the episode it was more everything else with the show. |
| It really do be like that though. |
| That was a fun episode! It definitely has a comedy style that I will enjoy. The characters were the standout thing for me while watching this and I will be most looking forward to the character interactions between Kanbe and the rest of the crew in the upcoming episodes. Oh yeah, the OST was nice as well. |
| i thought it was pretty good for its first episode! the intro, in my opinion, was very catchy and i loved the animated displayed in it too! i found myself vibing along to it not gonna lie lol. EVERYONE has been freaking out about kambe before the opening and i gotta say, i'm kinda 'eh' about his character so far. yes, i know this is the first episode and there wasn't much to tell yet, but i just hope the hype around him isn't overhype because so far his only personality trait is that he just has a lot of money and he's kind of an asshole. anyways, i'm sure we'll get more of him in the upcoming episodes so im not worried as for the storyline, i've always loved crime and detective shows growing up, so this will probably just be another one of those that i find myself enjoying! i can't wait to see where this show goes. |

| lol that was damn as hell funny |
 |
| This was better than I had expected. Midway through the story, I thought the story was set before the 1980s (because of the colour palette, outfit designs and hair-styles), but then the Sci-fi element got introduced. (Now that I think about it, I completely ignored the internet ad thing that proved this was definitely not set in the past.) I knew the officer wasn't dead, but I was still surprised by the way he was woken up. lol. The guys in this anime look like they're from a BL manga about some kind of crime. I think I want to look up the character designer for this. |
| This gives me some Durarara vibes - because of the all the crazy, improbable and funny stuff that is happening. |
| I wasn't actually looking forward to this anime after watching the trailer but I decided to watch because Mamoru Miyano voices Haru and I AM SO GLAD I DID! This was really entertaining and I love the two opposing personalities of the MCs cause that is gonna be hilarious! The Op and Ed are fire and I really like the art too; it's all very stylish and perfectly embodies the tone of the anime I wanna know how Kambe has soo much money though?! An unlimited balance? Insanity. Also, I'm not the only one who thinks he's hot right? hehe |
 |
| Super fun first episode tbh. It was a whole lot of crazy and I enjoyed every second of it. The art/animation was striking and fit very well with the concept of the show. I already love the opposing MCs and can't wait to see how they work together (or not) in the future. I think most of everyone's complaints are going to be resolved within the next few episodes, though, like explaining why Daisuke has unlimited money, or why he wanted to become a cop/detective. |
Twitter is really horny right now |
| Well, lets wait for next episode. Hope it still on fire,,, |
This is the effects of the quarantine lmao. Seriously tho, the number of tweet already doubled since you screenshotted this. (36.4K at the moment of writing.) |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Watched it because I wanted to know what Twitter was being horny over this time (Daisuke trended), and I can't say I'm not surprised. The opening's art and song is good, the ending art is good too, but I'm not a fan of the song. The series has an interesting enough plot for me to continue watching and the cast is interesting enough to want to know more about so that's good. Also the main two, Haru and Daisuke, their design look like something out of a BL. And by all means I am Intrested. I look forward to whatever this series offers. |

| This was so bad and hard to watch.... Giving your MC unlimited cash, knowledge of everything and everybody is not how you can make a interesting character, quite the opposite actually. Having a problem? Just spend some cash, having a bigger problem? Just spend more cash it's unlimited after all. It's basically like watching your average, super generic OP AF hero in an isekai with all the skills, max stats and unlimited mana from the get go. Also we will get that jingle every time he will be showed on the screen? He is not iconic Lord Vader to deserve this kind of treatment. |

| Don't really know what to think of this. The character designs are kinda boring and the city/setting looked pretty...ugh grey and dead somehow. Looks like the classic buddy cop story where one of them fills the role of the asshole at the beginning, I really liked the opening and soundtrack but I think especially the jazzy parts don't really fit with the modern setting. Make it all look a bit retro and perfect |
| So, MC is basically a Gary Stu jerk who looks like a yaoi character? Cool, cool. I don't like him at all. But it took me only five minutes and fifteen seconds to decide that I absolutely love Haru, that's something. Anyway, that was a nice first episode, something tells me I'm going to like this anime a lot. Animation is beautiful, voice acting is great, music is cool - wait, music. Is that catchy tune going to play every time Mr. Jerk is onscreen? It's not that I mind, but it made me giggle halfway through the episode and I can't possibly imagine how much I'll laugh if they won't stop with that. Also, I have a feeling that this series will be heavily "yaoized" by people. Just a hunch, though. |
