| The twist was amazing - I didn't see it coming at all - but the ending was annoying. Does he really think those cops wont take any money for themselves? And even if they don't, how are they supposed to distribute it? And won't they arrest him anyway?? |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| I have a feeling Laurent, Abigail and the "police" were working together. At least Cassano was arrested and Salazar has a happy life now. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| And that's it? "Twist" of century - "murder" of main characters in a 5th episode already, yeah right, very believable. This anime is just another great example that people happy to praise any crap, I mean if there are idiots which making such anime and think it's good then there always will be a matching sect. |
| I was pretty sure that Pola Dickens aka Cynthia was also a con artist, but not necessarily an ally of Laurent and Abby. A really fantastic arc and rich in twists. I really like Cynthia, and Edamura, while a bit representative of the archetypal Japanese hero, is interesting. |
 |
| Wow that was GREAT. It’s insane, doesn’t make much sense at times, but so entertaining. When Cynthia asked for 100 million$$$$ I’d already guessed that Laurent & Abbie weren’t really dead & they were all in cahoots. I loved when Laurent said they wish Salazar can now live happily with Tom♡ |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| I dunno how I feel about the whole plot twist surrounding Cynthia, kinda felt like it came out of nowhere in order to escape that doomsday scenario. I didn't really pick up on any hints that it was gonna happen, unless I missed something and I'm just an idiot. Music, art style, and characters (specifically Edamura and Salazar) are all solid. The animation being limited makes sense for this art style, I would've been shocked if it was extremely high detailed every frame of every episode. |
| Dammit I should've known the cunning Laurent would have some plan, I kinda expected 'Paula' or should I say Cynthia to be in league with him but not that she was a scammer herself. Bit predictable in certain aspects (Abby and Laurent obviously not actually dying) but still quite impressive scheme and above all to fake by being with the fbi. |
 |
| Well even the FBI were con artists lol. I had a feeling that the deaths of Abbie and the blonde guy would be fake xD 110 million scammed, great job. Edumama gives the money he got to the police, trying to restart his rotten life. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| It had a rough start, while this arc was enjoyable, the plots and storyline were a bit cliché but everything was wrapped up nicely, I hope it gets better in the next arcs |
| What a twist! I expected Abby and Laurent to not be dead but that was way bigger than my expectations. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Wow, they got me good. I really thought our guys died lol. I enjoyed it and I hope the next story is more interesting! |
| i was waiting for the Breaking Bad reference |
 |
| Bro that was literally INSANE- |
| Didn't know it was possible to stuff this many twists in like 20 minutes. You really can't trust anyone but yourself lmao. And damn Edamura really chose the clean route. |

Like it's such a shame because the anime is colorful and the soundtrack is great, but the logic is so stupid, and is so annoying that a whole production gets ruined because a writer didn't give a shit to make characters that actually act like human beings just so they can throw you a half baked plot twist taken out of their fucking arse, like you make the effort of the musicians and animators go to waste, I have gone through only 5 episodes so far but I'm dropping this shit because I feel that if I continue my brain will only rot more and more
| @Phixiately Did we watch the same show ? Lol |
| I'm glad Salazar is okay, that was my biggest worry. Overall part 1 was at some points unpredictable, like the ending where Edamura turns himself in. I hope the next "cases" are just as good |
 |
| LMAO Breaking Bad reference just when I recently started to rewatch it XD That twist got me sooo good, I was in awe, already was coping with the thoughts it's going a very dark route but then everything was according to keikaku. The ending of this episode tho... can't say it ruined the whole thing but it was rather unsatisfying to an extent, or unbelievable to a huge extent. |

| The only twist that surprised me was the ending. That said I wonder what will the MC actually do from now on |
 |
| The moment Laurent and Abby were shot, it was obvious that they all worked together. I'm just glad this arc is finally over, hopefully the next one will be more interesting. |
