Episode got leaked again on you know what.

Wasting no time and go straight to searching for any clues they could get on this dude Skinner, like that a lot. I mean, the faster they find this dude the faster they are to saving the world, so yeah, good on them for not wasting any time. As for right now, their best lead seems to have been something about him buying this nuclear shelter a while back, so again, not wasting any time lmao, they get straight to it and one team heads for the shelter, and the other to the company that sold it.

And hey, at least Axel isn't as bad a guy as I thought because he actually explains why he got 888 years in jail, that's because bro escaped over and over again to the point where his three year sentence at first had turned into... well, 888 years lol. But yeah, both teams make it to the respected locations... where our team that went to the company that sold it get immediately held at gun point, while our other team gets ambushed not much later.

And yeah, Axel just as badass as ever, no gun needed, straight hands on these dudes lols. Thankfully, both teams come to agreements with the said ambushers, specifically our company team because they just start laughing it off with the ambushers lmao. Don't know what's up with that all those Skinner's at the end, but yeah, at least it seems that this show won't be episodic thanks to that, so yeah, looking good.

Twas an episode of all time to be sure, pretty solid episode gave a bit more lore about the medicine and they finally got to tracking down Dr.Skinner. Music slapped. Decent ep.

It’s crazy how one episode can change your entire perspective on a story or character. Growing up is realising Dr. Skinner is the good guy and humanity are the bad guys.

Dude dedicated his entire life to the betterment and advancement of the human race, didn’t even patent all the lifesaving medicines and inventions he made and genuinely would give the shirt off his back to a stranger, yet the moment he started preaching about shit that would impact the top 1 percent’s profits like combatting climate change, everyone laughed at and ignored him. The dude lauded as the next Einstein who had done so much for the world, but you doubt him on this lmao. The US walking out of that UN assembly speech on climate change had me cracking up because it’s sadly all too real.

Wiping out humanity with a miracle drug might seem a little harsh, but in Skinner’s mind he’s not doing anything humanity aren’t already doing to themselves. He told them The North Pole is literally gonna melt in 3 years which would mean the end of life as we know it and they ignored em but want to act all scared after he revealed that a drug would do the same 😂 yea we stand with Skinner.

The Lazarus crew are coming together well, Axel continues to be funny af. “We’re like the avengers”, uh more like the thunderbolts or suicide squad actually buddy lol. Christine kicking him out the car when he said how much time he was serving in prison had me dying too. Generally felt like a set up episode to introduce us to Lazarus team dynamic and give context on Skinner’s actions. It was fun tho.


Chad Stahelski’s involvement starts with this episode as well, not a ton of fights today, but you could see the influence briefly. Can’t wait to see what they cook up later.

I really liked the character development, as each of their backgrounds is gradually revealed and that adds depth. So far, no interesting developments have occurred, but I'm excited to see in which direction the characters will evolve. I liked the course it has taken, and I hope that in the upcoming episodes we see more action and a deepening of events.

Thanks for the response. I use live chart, so when I went to check when episode 2 airs it said 24 days. They’re usually pretty good with that stuff. Oh well, I’m excited I don’t have to wait 3 weeks 😂

My takeaway from this episode is that Mr Skinner is living happily in his own house disguised as his gardener while these guys will be spending the next ten episodes with filler action sequences finding this out.

I don't know guys what we expected from Shinichiro Watanabe but this anime feels extremely uninspired to me at this moment.

This first lead on Skinner was quite the dangerous experience. Axel disarming all of those armed opponents was pretty cool to watch. No time to aim when they're in his melee range!

Speaking of being armed, I think that goes past debt collector territory and more into bounty hunting. But I definitely see the average joe getting more reckless in this story as that 30 day timer continues to count down.

Elaina finding all those skinner doppelgangers at the end there is a curious cliffhanger. He was a famous guy, could of had a lot of impersonators. That's my theory.

So I think I understand Skinner's motive—he deemed humans unworthy of his world. He constantly tried his best to spread peace and create a livable environment for everyone, but since no one cared, he made this last attempt to unite people—or something like that.

Quiet ones are either the most timid and reserved types, or they’re the most messed up ones.

It was funny how people from different associations just started popping up for the one person who was never even there. And in the end, either those faces were created by hacking, or they’re people who want to look like him to help him avoid getting caught.

Ummm... That wasn't good. There are so many attempts at humor throughout the show and none of it is landing. The David Letterman parody scenes need to stop. They're terrible.

I like the characters, but the writing needs to be better.

A couple cute/funny moments, and I'm enjoying Axel and Chris's dynamic. But definitely a weaker episode than the first. Very little happened plot wise, the writing felt pretty stiff, the characters mostly come across as flat, and the animation quality seems to have plumetted especially on action scenes. Also when are we gonna get to see more of best girl Eleina?

Bro this episode was awesome just seeing Axel trying to be friendly with The Lazarus Gang was cool to see and getting lore that the doctor was really a bad person really shocked me!! The gun fights were awesome and how they were handled. Just seeing these fights are just awesome to watch and that just is something that Toonami gets right with all their shows even the ones everyone hates. I love how they made the interactions this episode and the joke where Axel explains why he had so many years in prison and how breaking out of prisons is a hobby to him was hilarious to me. The next episode looks like it’s going to be good from the Toonami preview and I can’t wait to watch it!!

This was a good follow-up to last week's debut!

With the new info we got on Skinner, I'm wondering if he isn't bluffing about everyone dying in thirty days. He seems like too much of a good guy to want to kill people randomly (although the UN speech scene was pretty hard to watch).

Oh, and I love that fat little cat that's always running away from the commotion. x)

The OP is very underwhelming. I like the music, but the visuals are not it.

A lot more style than substance so far; are they going to waste a minute of runtime every week stating the history of Hapna, and what's going to happen? Will the cop and the cat be in every episode somehow?

anime is pretty decent for now - a bit too much of plot armor, but the worst thing is that climate change propaganda... sheesh, why don't they stop mix in political topics in anime, just leave anime be anime and not a medium for political propaganda, that's so annoying. It's as anime became the second hollywood bs...

I'm trying to understand how the main guy gets a sentence of 888 years. We know that everytime he escaped the sentence doubled up and he started when it was only 3 years.

My math may be wrong but isn't it actually impossible to reach exactly 888? 😅

How does a 3 year sentence which gets doubled every time he escapes land on a value of 888 is something I can't understand. The 8th time he escaped it would have been 768 years and then it would have doubled to 1500+. The only way I can think is if his remaining sentence was doubled so if he served 1 of the 3 years then they doubled the remaining 2. And then then it was 4 and if he again escaped after a few months, it became 7.xx or something like that....

Of course Dr. Skinner had to disappear thanks to his knowledge. He could change the world with his theories and even save the Earth thanks to his calculations or it could prevent the disaster!
