| I find it hilarious that Daisuke created an entire cup noodle company after eating cup noodles once ww. Also liked the tiny detail where other characters were cringing at Kato's smell. |

I also think that Suzue isn't his biological sister. Maybe she's adopted or just took Daisuke's last name for some undercover mission. I still hope that she is his wife or someone romantically involved with him, since the way they look to each other in the opening speaks something. |

| Katou acted so suspiciously when he went to the party... undercover missions are not for him.. |
| im enjoying the anime so far but i don't like daisuke's va at all, it doesn't fit him |
     |
| I like the visuals of this series, but it's just... eh? Are they trying for comedy or what? |
 |
| This episode was just as enjoyable as the first one. I wonder what Suzue's relation with Daisuke is. It's too bad this show will be postponed, but at least there's still the next week's episode to look forward to. |

| I hope someone will post spoilers (inside a spoiler tag, of course. for others' sake) about Suzue's relationship with Daisuke. The suspense is driving me crazy! (It's convincing for her to be either a relative or a fiancee/wife). Haha. I like her; and I don't mind her being in a romantic relationship with either Daisuke or Haru. It's cute either way :) ------------- I find it amusing that Haru actually thought of it possible for Daisuke to wear the mascot costume just because of his lil' evidence. lol. So even after all the flashy stuff that Daisuke did, he believes Daisuke can do something that doesn't seem to fit his personality, haha. ------------- Rich boys being amazed with instant noodles will always be an adorable scene (seen a similar scene in Korean dramas). |

I don't know if a backstory of him being turned into that would win me over, but he's turn off the screen material to me in my opinion. |
| Not quite up there with episode 1. Maybe not crazy enough? Also the antagonists in this one did not have the charme of the first episode and the charakter interactions between the protagonists are pretty bleak. At least we got a female support role who could make things a little bit more interesting. |

You I really can't wrap my head around Kambe, is he a cop or a James Bond wannabe who happens to have the special abilities where he's rich????.............. Like this from the movie from the Justice Leaque... |

| I mean in the novel she is his wife so I don't understand why they would change this detail. But I heard that in the novel the character of Haru doesn't exist so who knows. |

Firstly, romance is almost always about two people getting together, not about two people being together. What's the point if they are already together. Secondly, what about possible Haru and Suzue romance? I see a lot of potential here. And third, Suzue is his sister. What is your source? Why are you so sure she is his sister? I have been on the official Japanese website and it only said she is a "mysterious woman" with black hair etc...no mention of her being his sister... Also, even if I'm definitely not the most knowledgable about relationships, it's clear that they are not all about coming together. Staying together is difficult as well. Just as an example... |

| Glad I'm not the only one who isn't feeling Daisuke's VA, like he sounds so monotonous and tone. There are seiyuus who can do that but you can still feel their unique character. He sounds like he's struggling to say his lines. LOL at Haru being sniffed by everyone. Poor guy has B.O. and needs to shower ASAP. He's totally into Daisuke's sister. I'm sure it's his sister since they look alike. I'm not a big yaoi but I couldn't help but scream "KISS" everytime Daisuke and Haru were on screen together. |
| 臭い- |
| Exquisitely-crafted show, the nuanced character animation is truly something else. They really do an excellent job of selling Haru and Kambe's differing personalities through the way they hold themselves, and the little nuances in their body language. I'm also fascinated to see what this show has to say about the contrast between wealth/privilege and bootstrap skill / hard work, I have utmost confidence that they're building this tension up to something interesting. I REALLY look forward to this show coming back as soon as the COVID shutdown is over. |
| i feel bad for Haru :// |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |
| I like this episode and the girl in the op is actually Daisuke's sister. |

Bibimbapski said: LOL at Haru being sniffed by everyone. Poor guy has B.O. and needs to shower ASAP. He's totally into Daisuke's sister. I'm sure it's his sister since they look alike. He blushed at her, but I think he pretty much changed his mind once he learned, errr, she wasn't exactly the pure and pristine girl he was imagining? This episode was better than the second, but I'm not quite sure what they are doing with Daisuke character. His voice actor is really doing a terrible job and he needs to have an actual dynamic with Haru, 'cuz so far they are pretty dull to watch. |
 |
| I'd like this show a lot better if not for all these toxic fujoshi and headcanon lords. Moreover I just can't seem to like Haru's character. A character with false pride. |
 Your life to come is bound to make you smile |
| i dont see this one as especially captivating yet, and it's a shame it will be postponed after episode 3 because i still havent quite formed an opinion about it yet. the main thing that's got me going is because the characters look good lol |

He will learn to show more empathy as the series progresses no doubt but his coldness is funny at the moment. |
| With Daisuke Kambe onboard the task force, Haru is gonna have an even harder time dealing with his investigations, not to mention the differing personalities. An idol-centric crime? Seems typical if drugs are at the heart of it all. And Kato, much of his quick atention span, he's not quite as assertive as Kambe. Even smelling the rat that is Kambe's sister Suzue working undercover, that was a surprise. And eventually with the undercover journalist and Kambe's monetary involvement taking the crime by storm (the same as before), there's no denying that money wins the world over in this case as compared to Haru's brute force. Things are escalating, that's for sure. Unrfortunately, having to wait until the whole Covid situation rolls over for the continuation. |
 |
| Got around to watching both EP1 and EP2 of this and I gotta say I'm intrigued. The OP and ED are probably the best of the season. OST in general is awesome with some major Bond-esque vibes. Always liked crime shows so the story won't be an issue for me. The characters, however, are pretty meh. I won't deny that Daisuke is fine AF but tbh he's kinda... boring? Just seems like the typical, eccentric rich character archetype (come on, even does the classic "omg wtf is ramen"). Well, still looking forward to this once it comes back from the delay. |
| my dear novel readers...who is this girl? she looks like daisuke, is she his sister?cousin? |
 |
| In my opinion, the plot of the first episode portrayed Kanbe much more cold than he is in the second episode as he was willing to kill the criminals for the sake of the people. At the moment, Kato and Kanbe seem to be very contrasting characters with different morals, which is ok. But having them completely hate each other as a duo is done many times in anime and TV in general, and is very unoriginal. The plot of the first episode was very complex but still had a great sense of humour while the second episode was much simpler but had much better pacing. I have very promising expectation for this show but if they want to grab the reader's attention and hearts they need to add some character development to the main characters. They NEED to add entertainingly showcase the background story of Daisuke Kanbe and Haru Kato. They need to resolve their main differences to make them a duo the audience will be happy with; if they live in everlasting hatred with each other (or Kato having hatred towards Kanbe), then the show will continue to feel incomplete. That is all I have to discuss. |

animejas said: Firstly to address the elephant in the room, it's a shame this show is going to be delayed after episode 3 due to the coronavirus pandemic. I'm not a fan of this show so far but there are many fans that have enjoyed the start of this so its a shame. It's probably going to affect even more shows now so let's all just wait and see how everything goes after, and wait and see when this will air again after episode 3. Regarding the actual episode itself, meh. I think the fact that I hate Daisuke's character and the actual stories that happen in these episodes kills my mood completely. But at least, the OSTs used in this show were so good and elevated the chaotic nature tenfold. Overall, this is a bad show so far, for me personally. But again, shame this is getting delayed soon like a lot of the other anime that got postponed already. I personally disagree. I understand you thinking Daisuke's character is somewhat bland or cold, the show needs to work on that, but hating the character for no (apparent) reason - in my opinion - seems very naive as the show still did not place time into developing the MC. That is my personal opinion. I know everyone has different tastes and you have yours. |
|
| Another amusing episode, Kambe sure loves to buy anything he sees. Also Suzue Kambe huh, she might be from a Kambe branch family and works as assistant for Daisuke or something along those lines. I sure dun see her being his wife or imouto but who knows we might get a surprising plot twist. |

| Overall, I find the series so far to be a bit boring, the first episode was much better and a bit promising. It just seems a bit weird. I will wait and watch episode 3 when it airs in July hopefully. Still has potential but idk 3/5 |

But I heard that in the novel the character of Haru doesn't exist so who knows. Twins in Japan would use honorifics as well. Watch some other shows with twins (especially fraternal twins) and you'll find the one born first is usually called older brother/sister. As for her doing what she does, did you notice that he DOES turn away when she's in the car with the other guy and never looks up at the situation. He trusts her but their relationship is probably different than what we're used to, especially with how much stuff he entrusts to her. Also, one thing I did notice that while they don't both wear rings, they do both wear a single earring in the same ear. It's not unusual for the Daisuke, but women tend to wear both more often than not, so it's interesting that she only wears one. And she never takes it off, no matter what she's doing or her disguise, which is also unusual since most will change earrings based on their outfit. |
| @Irenesharda About the twins honorific, it's the case in Blue Exorcist but it's not the case in Super Lovers... Also, the fact he didn't look (what I noticed) would make sense.. (if) she's his sister, she could still be in danger or doing something she wasn't enjoying, makes total sense he feels uncomfortable about it. I noticed about the earring and thought it was odd, still don't think they are romantic envolved they look too much alike for me. We'll have to wait and see tho. |

| cool show but cant stand daisukes voice ;u; |
| kinda gives off bungou stray dogs vibes, imo? will have to watch more to confirm though |
 |
| Yukihira Soma showed up in this episode. Couldn't help but notice his voice right away. |
| This episode was not as silly as the first one so it felt very languid. |
| I started watching this series because I would hear COUNTLESS TikTok posts about how this show was so good but I really don't understand the hype? |
