----------------------------------------
I found the whole skateboarding off the side of the building as stupid, but okay. I'm glad they're not entirely censoring the show although it's understandable to do it to an extent like with the head sawing scene. Three episodes in and we finally get what the group is trying to do, and that Koku supposedly locked his own memories of the past.

The action scene between Koku and the girl, albeit short, was really good.

Nothing really interesting happening so far, the plot and all the characters seem pretty generic. Without even finishing it I can already guess this will be a 7.xx show.

so the protagonist Koku brainwashed himself huh and this recent chain of crimes is just a distraction by the main enemy to capture Koku it seems

Humm... the computer guy was beheaded, but on the final of the epi his skin is "all together"... i think they messed it up. Small error, but still kinda annoying...

or i´m just tripping?

Lol the skateboard at the start was so dumb and not really in a good way. Rest of the episode was good though, got alot of hints as to whats going on, seems like koku is some sort of god or idolized figure the antagonists once looked up to, but his memories were removed potentially by himself for whatever reason. Seems as if the antagonists want to bring him back to his old form.

Also holy shit these action scenes are amazing, like the setting and shots of the lights reacting to the water ripples from the fight was just A+

Good episode again.
The fight sequences are stunning, this show has fantastic production value.

The plot still has me intrigued.
The opposing crime organization are really crafty people, using random crimes to cover up their true ones.

Really interested to see where the show heads from here.

Also, holy shit! The discovery of the real gas came with a pretty gruesome scene.

What the F-, bruh. That guy can't really be dead right? Are we going to have this guy keep killing off a member of that clown gang one at a time every 1-2 episodes? That was really disappointing, I was fine with Quinn dying but this white haired, blue eyed, skateboard riding dude (gee, I wonder who else could fit this description... cough... Killua) deserved more than that. I had hope that he had wounded only him, instead he was the one who ended up with a fatal stab. I mean this guy was preaching about how he brought the MC there to jog his memory, how he was the only person who had some history with him, that he once lived for him and all the MC does is ask where some random girl is. AND HE DIED LIKE THAT, NO TEARS, NO "oh my god i remember u ur that guy im soo sorry oh too bad i killed u demm son i did it agin", NO! The fact that I can't even remember the MC's name or know anything about him makes me feel disconnected, like I don't even know what his personality is like. I mean. I GUESS he's important since everyone is gushing over needing him alive and shit for their master plan. I hope my predisposed dislike won't affect me later.

The animation was very nice, I thought this from the first episode but only a decade ago, I wouldn't have imagined that animation *could* be this fluid. The fucking blood drawing from the cut on his cheek in slow motion... Anime back then, simpler times...

I wish they actually gassed everyone. That would have been cool, chaos running everywhere and it's not like they couldn't do it.

Please revive the lake guy though. That's all I ask.

Quite impressive episode, really love how two story arcs are interweaving with each other and I do think we'll be looking to a complete plot overhaul later in the story!

Blonde cutie seems the type to either
1) end up dying after going psycho on our hero
2) or switch sides

Who is "she"?...

The whole skateboard thing was a bit silly, but that's what this anime is.

plot is still decent enough to keep me interested.

i kinda wish we got more focus on the characters though. like i still can't tell who was who and i don't see why should i care about them. especially koku. like he won against that skate board freak??? yeah??? was i supposed to be happy for him or something

i hope future episodes can change my mind or else i'll drop.

'Saving your chilhood friend/crush subplot', 'loss of memory as plot device' Yeah, Koku is a terrible character. The fight scene was cool. 2/5

Ditto. I gave this show so much benefit of the doubt, but after 3 episodes the plot is too convoluted, without even establishing a strong premise for absolutely anything that is going on. Where are they? What is the history of the characters? How is any of this possible? Which characters are protagonists or antagonist? Why is anybody who has appeared in the show actually there? All of these unanswered questions are definitely a shortcoming of the anime.

Following the pseudo-killers or cops or mystery organization. I get the angle like we find out as much as the cops do, but who are any of these guys really? I mean even the good guys? Supposedly

"where is she?" my thoughts: who are you talking about? haha

so this kid, the boy, the black winged king, he knows these psycho criminals somehow? and he can "take" that person's blade leg? hmm

i've watched this show before and i'm still confused. (i've forgotten most of what happened.) so i understand why others watching it for the first time would be lost. but it's worth it. it explains things as it goes along, and i remember thinking this was a pretty solid show. that's why i'm re-watching it prior to season 2 that just came out

keith is a brilliant detetctive, but a weirdo. that cop lady is kind of funny, "got it. i'll stop thinking!"

Lake fight was pretty good. Genie is on the right track with having figured out that the enemies used the gas thing as cover for something else but still no clue on the actual paranormal thing happening. So far we know the Market maker's guys supposedly fight for some royale family where I believe due to his title and the short flashback that Koku is perhaps part and maybe the head of that family.

NGL, that's some sick skateboarding.

Also, like...never give the terrorist a platform to speak, why didn't they gag him or something?

I do love how they show Keith's observations, that's pretty cool.
