| Episode was simply amazing, soundtrack was on point same goes for the action, new characters fit in perfectly and Nicolas being badass as usual, what is there to complain about. |
  |
| It's refreshing having animes like this and not the same shounen/harem shit. Loving it, both Nicolas and Worick are awesome. The temptation to read the manga is killing me. |
| Damn, amazing stuff. Probably one of the best of the season so far, if not the best. |
 |
| Nina was not that cute in the manga >_>;; she's adorable in the anime. OST is frickin BALLIN' though. Love it. |
 |
| Good episode. I'll be sticking with this show. |
| So did this just turn into a Bleach-esque Battle Shounen? The animation leaves much to be desired. It's pretty bland, there's little variety or color. "It's not censored" It's not drawn either. At least Nina brought a bit of personality into the show. Hopefully she's around quite a bit. Of course the bad bosses bodyguard has to be a woman and the other might be a woman as well or a trap, typical. Stop animating jagged teeth plz. It can't be takin seriously. |
Honoka is my Hero! Click Me! |
| Now that I've gotten a better listen to it, the ED sounds sweet. Nina is a cute girl, and pity for her living in a city like this. I hope she gets more screentime later on. And I'm liking Alex's character so far and how her thoughts seem more realistic. |
 |
| My boyfriend has that whole crazy sexy vibe going on , and a nice ass, too !! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Nico Bad@SS |
| Wow this is actually really brilliant so far! Nicolas is such an interesting and badass character, really wanna know more about him and everything else aswell. OP and ED are great, getting used to them now, ED best though, can't wait for full version! |
| This is all I think of when someone calls Nicholas Nico Not that I mind |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
Valkata said: kageroudaze said: wow, they skipped chapter 2 of the manga, when they explain about Worick's other job ~ but well, the episode was solid, i loved to see nina, she's so cute :3 Not only about his job, but his backstory with Nic. Hopefully we will see it done, because it is vital. Maybe there will be an episode just for the backstory of Nic and Worick. They did show materials from Chapter 3, 4, and 5 in this episode though. Can't wait for next week though. |
 |
| One of my favorites this season |
 |
 This epic scene made the episode. |
 "Have you ever encounter a wild beast that guarantees to never bite anyone?" ~ Roronoa Zoro |
| Very good episode, wonder if A/0 is the highest rank. Bet there is an S rank. |
 |
| Hm . . . Again, I liked the episode(the directing, soundtrack, etc.), but at the core there's so little substance. I hope this is not becoming a mainstream shounen-esque anime show, because that's what I feel so far. It's like the director is really good but he has to work with a not-so-good source material. |
| I like anime. |
| Ah man, I can see that this episode involved a few chapters. I'm not sure if they skipped Worick's other job intro or if it's more to the end of the first volume. Maybe the next episode will include that more, as this one was more about an explanation of Twilights, and setting up plot with that last scene. Speaking of that last scene, I'm happy and surprised to see the silhouettes of those characters, some of them are my favourites in the manga. I re-read the first volume of the manga on the bus the other day, and for the life of me I can't remember what was off about Alex and Doctor Theo's interaction, but I swear it entailed more than that. Oh well! Next episode should wrap up the first volume! I'm really loving the OST, especially in this episode. Excited for the next episode! |
| This was more badass than the previous episode. Damn that Nickolas. The doctor is also badass. Lol when his clinic's wall was attacked and he jumped on Nickolas to try and stab him with an injection. Worick was also cool when he took out all those people waiting for the little girl to kidnap her. Alex also helped out a bit. We learn some stuff about the dog tags. And Nickolas has, unsurprisingly had a rough past. I wouldn't be surprised if the one who wants the doctor eliminated was given the wrong medicine and stuff by the doctor. Considering the place, it is very much possible. Lets see whether this person is part of the mafias or is an outsider. If he's an outsider, he's a goner for sure. His gang is gonna be eliminated if he's not from around here. And if he's one of the mafias men, then our two Handymen are in for a heap of trouble since they'd be messing with the wrong people. |
| It's good that they've already gone and explained the whole dogtag thing, but it's kind of annoying that they suddenly introduce another new term immediately afterwards, and I bet this one won't be explained so quickly. Even so, this was a very good episode, almost certainly a step up from the first episode. |
Raven-kun said: Dude I got serious goosebumps when I saw that.This epic scene made the episode. |
 |
| Another great episode. Getting a glimpse of the dogtags and their story should lead to something interesting, and daamn that docter.. Nicolas why did you damage that wall D: |
| I just pray to God that Nina doesn't get a Shou Tucker treatment :| |
|
| Another great episode. So our two main characters aren't the only one with dogtags and it seems they are ranked with the strongest probably being A-0 so far like Nicolas since the other guy with B-2 had no chance against him but it seems there are stronger guys without dogtags as seen in the last bit of the episode where they kill the B-2 guy, probably outsiders from Ergastulum. Nina seems like an ok character, but I'm definitely not thrilled with how young she is, although even Gungrave and Black Lagoon had children as characters. Alex is yet to get used to all the violence despite being a former prostitute there and you can see how unsettling she was in this episode especially towards Nicolas. I wonder what's the paper the Doctor gave to Alex was suppose to mean at the end? It kinda confused me, at first I thought he was giving her his number but then it turned out to be empty... |
 |
| There's not much going on. It's too much similar to other shows out there (you know what shows I'm talking about). Hope something interesting happens soon. |
Haruhi ism  It's fun, isn't it? |
| More more more, I want to know more about everything. About Nicholas and how did he become like this, about Worrick and how did both of them met and become friends? About this twilight thingy. Gangsta knows how to hook their viewers, definitely my favorite this season. |

| Epic as fuck so far but why did they skip chapter 2 of the manga,it has so many vital things in it. Hopefully they just rearranged the order a bit and they'll use chapt 2 in episode 3. |

Lollo36 said: Nico. Since Worick got into Dogtags and Nina said Nico's "not scary"; also because of the ending were those guys were shit-talking the Dogtags. So there's a possibility we're gonna learn about Nico and Dogtags next episode.ziggy_Z said: He means characterization. The question still stands: characterization for who? |

We already knew that he was a good guy because he gave his handkerchief to the girl and he fed the cat in the first episode. The stuff about dogtags is exposition/worldbuilding, not characterization. |

Lollo36 said: Neither was I talking about him being a good guy, nor is the explanation of Dogtags world-building. What I was referring to is how they might explore Nico's past next episode because we can infer from Nina & Worick's remarks, that they might shed light on who Nico is -- which is characterization, as it explores the character.ziggy_Z said: Nico.

| I like anime. |
| Loving this anime !! The op is definitely unique ( not sure if I like it yet but I'm sure I will soon ). Probably gonna be one of the best anime of this season~ Nicolas <3 !!! |
| Dr. Theo tried to act cool but he lost his key lol but god damn that was intense |
 |
| Yep, second episode is even better than the first! We finally know the meaning behind those dogtags. Not surprisingly, Nico's OP as hell lol. Loved how he beat the hell outta that B2 level guy without much trouble. This Anime's giving off great vibes and I'm certainly enjoying what I've seen so far. |

Lichtspiel said: What? When?Ragna92 said: I just love Nico's personality. He's such a likeable character. Hoping we'll see backstory on him in the future. I agree. Nico is awesome :D And I like Nina too. She's a nice character. The backstory about the dogtags was interesting. We also got to know that Nico is A-rank and Worick D-rank |
|
| Lol, I couldn't help but laugh at that guy when he was mocking Nicolas for using a katana in this day & age yet he came lunging at him bare handed & then with a lamp post. Like, what the hell did he expect, to block a sword with his hand? Muscles don’t work like armor. |
Vnime said: zerorequiem_ said: Every badass needs a loli. |
| God is silent. Now if only man would shut up |
| Why not chapter 2? Is it alright to be skipping that? Nick is growing on me and I still think Alex is hot as fuck. Alex in hotpants is even hotter. |
 |
| Now this is an anime to look out for. I wasn't sure in the first episode, but I'm getting a liking to this show, and I'm excited for the next episode to come :) |
        Insanity lives deep within ourselves |
| Hmm... I'm not sure whether I like Nina or not yet. She seems timid & annoying, but there's also something endearing about her. I guess she's mostly going to be comic relief, so I guess that's fine. I liked that scene with her & Allie-chan talking about Nicholas, though. That was legitimately good. I'm wondering what a "Twilight" is now, though. Apparently Nicholas is one, as well as those people at the end. I'm not sure how I'd feel if this show went into supernatural territory. In any case, Nicholas was even better in this episode than the first. Also, I liked this doctor character they introduced. All around the show is still really solid. Hope it becomes more than simply fighting & action every episode, though. |

sugoi |
| Oh yeah man, this show is freaking awesome XD Theo is SO COOL XD Nina is all right too, not a huge fan of her yet but maybe she will impress me a bit more later :P Get a bit more background with the Dog tags ... so they're not exactly human? Nico's a A0 class and that other guy was B2 ... so I'm guessing he's at the top of the food chain :P So these "Twilights" ... seems like the B2 guy was one of them and he was hired (then killed) by some other guy who knows how to find a bunch of them. Couple of hints in this episode like the wanted posters of the duo as teenagers, and then the blank piece of paper Theo gave Alex. Maybe a free pass for a prescription or something? In any case, looking forward to more next week :D ALSO THIS BACKGROUND MUSIC SO GOOD!!! |
