| Interesting show |
| Well that was amazing! Shame this show wont get the attention it deserves. |
 |
| It was good. I can already predict the ending though, they all become really good friends and remember the boss that brought them together, because he's now dead. This is like animated Prison Break. I'm not too keen on the whole nice doctor kind of guy, he's probably the most corrupt out of all of them but, who knows. |
    |
| My favorite from this season, definitely. |
  |
| Fucking brutal. Like Shawshank if it was animated and done with teenagers. I want more. This series will be overflowing with manly tears. |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |

 |
| The first episode was awesome. I'm really loving the music for this series. Here's to hoping it stays this way. |
| Nice show. Music good.~ What can i say. must watch! |
| LET JUSTICE BE DONE; THOUGH THE HEAVENS MAY FALL |
| Thanks Madhouse for bringing us a show that isn't comedy, or slice'of'life or moe. This first episode is really good and the show looks promising. OP and ED are also nice, though nothing special, compared to other shows that only use idol j-pop these are refreshing. |
| This is a very brutal anime. I think, I'll follow this one... |
 |
| Based on the synopsis, I knew this one was going to be good, but...wow. All my expectations were exceeded, needless to say. OP was amazing, btw. |
senerikfred said: Doesn't exactly help that the whole episode could've been misinterpreted as a part-educational, feature-length smoking ad, but that's probably just me being hyper-sensitive. Trust me, if you where in their situation you would have hit that cigarette too. Plus this show takes place in the fifties when non smokers where in the minority. Considering this show is quite obviously a Seinen show aimed towards older adult men it seemed quite appropriate to me. I've finally got around to finishing Monster right now and can't help but notice that I'm getting a similar vibe from Rainbow. Could be because they are just both Seinen which, like others have mentioned, gets very little attention in the animation world these days. I also agree with others about this series easily being one of the best shows this Spring. I've been anticipating it and glad that Frostii?and Saizen decided to sub it. I was starting to get a little tired of all the etchi and "Moe" series this Spring. Bravo Madhouse!!! |
| Here is the cast list for anyone's interest: Paku Romi as Maeda Noboru: Hitsugaya Toushirou (Bleach), Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist), Regene Regetta (Gundam 00), Osaki Nana (NANA) Keiji Fujiwara as Ryuuji Nomoto: Ladd Russo (Baccano!), Kuzuhara Kinnosuke (Durarara!!), Maes Hughes (Fullmetal Alchemist), Kimura Tatsuya (Hajime no Ippo), Hanamoto Shuuji (Honey and Clover), Ali Al-Saachez (Gundam 00) Rikiya Koyama as Sakuragi Rokurouta: Niekawa Shuji (Durarara!!), Takamura Mamoru (Hajime no Ippo), Hakuoro (Utawarerumono) Takaya Kuroda as Tadayoshi Tooyama: Simon Brezhnev (Durarara!!), Lord Darcia (Wolf's Rain) Shun Oguri as Minakami Mario, Tatsuya Hasome as Yokosuka Jou and Tomohiro Waki as Matsuura Mansaku are pretty new in seiyuu business. Paku Romi (Edward Elric), Keiji Fujiwara (Ladd Russo) and Rikiya Koyama (Hajime no Ippo) are immensely popular for their roles in many anime series. |

| Interesting idea to have a prison bases anime, dont think Ive seen that before. |
 |
| OMG, amazing anime. I think I'll love it. Boys are so cute *_* And the opening is really awesome. |
 -The world we live in is always within darkness. -Which is why we seek light. |
| Nice to have a really dark and gritty anime this season. This episode was great and the show has a lot of potential to become great and I think it will. Sweet. |
 |
| This show as a lot of potential, It has been a while since an anime like this aired. I don't trust the glasses guy. |
 |
| The more series I see by Madhouse, the more I like them. Definitely following this one |
| I was skeptical at first because it didn't look outright appealing, and of course the inspection wasn't appealing either. >.< However, if a plot appears it looks promising! |
| I was surprised at the beginning by the voice over and the less mature content that I imagined. It was a very simplistic intoduction, but maybe I expected too much from this series since I was eagerly waiting for it for more than a year now. The second half of the episode seriously delivered in terms of both physical and psychological violence though, darkness and great character development already. The ED is probably the best this season too. This was remarkably good overall despite a slow and unengaging start. Definitely the best released so far this season but I'm pretty sure Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei will be better. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| so far it is easily the best animu of the spring season |
| the first show in 2010 that actually looks like it could be interestin and was that really Oguri Shun who's voice I heard...so glad he has another role...i love and i mean LOVE his voice.. oh and the OP & ED were awesome <3 |
     I didn't want to hurt you but you're pretty when you cry. I didn't really love you but I'm pretty when I lie. |
| Very good opening episode. Love the atmosphere. |
| This gotta be interesting. OP rawks hard btw. |
| amazing amazing amazing! this show didn't fail my expectations nor thoughts!! I'm really looking forward for the rest of the episodes XD |
| I have this strong interest in prison..and I've never seen a single prison anime in my life. I effing love this <3 |
 |
| Wow! That was freakin awesome :)!! Love the Opening. And yay paku romi is in it<33 |
     |
| The first episode was really promising. Madhouse put really big effort with the designs of this animé. The OP is simply amazing, best of this season. |
| I could really use some lyrics to that OP. It's in English but it's hard rock so I'm only making out like 10% of it. >,< |
 |
| Actually, the OP music kinda reminds me of My Chemical Romance. |

|
| So, is it about them surviving for 2 years or maybe jail break? |
|
| I've been waiting for this show since it was announced (and put on hiatus), and it was certainly worth the wait. It's very dark and gritty, but more importantly, it's different. Even the storytelling style is a bit offbeat IMO. Rainbow will probably end up being my favorite show of the season. |
 |
| yes yes that was great |

 |
| I thought Angel Beats was going to be the best show this season. Fuck that, MANBROw is now my favorite this season. I'll be waiting for the full OP when it comes out. |
