Well, that was goofy but somewhat fun. The artwork isn't something I'm used to but I think overall made the point. He also reminds me a bit of Kaito from Magic Kaito in a way as one of those guys who is hard to catch...

It was actually quite childish, but it was refreshing. It brought back nostalgia of some of the anime I used to watch as a child (which was labeled as cartoons). The artwork, again, reminded me of a children's anime. However, it did reek of Kaitou Kid, and that I wasn't keen on, because it felt almost like a ripoff. However, it was fun to watch and enjoyable, so if I had to rate the first episode, I'd say 7/10, but that's only because I have no idea what the plot is yet, if there even is going to be one.

Yup, definitely a fun little series. The action bits at the beginning were pretty neat too. I'll continue watching this. I was laughing a bit watching this.

It felt a lot like Yatterman to me. It's almost a reversal of the usual Time Bokan formula. I like it.

I really enjoyed the first episode actually. I didn't think I would enjoy it so much but I will continue with this series!
I've been a fan of Magic Kaito for long and Kaito Joker DOES look identical but it felt slightly different and really fun!

Kaitou Joker? More like Kaitou Rusemaster. Seriously, the big draw for me so far is watching this kid ruse pretty much everybody.

Some notes:

1. Just because of the similarity of the name and the premise doesn't mean this show and Magic Kaitou are anything alike. Seriously, they're two completely different shows working off of two completely different tones and themes. I mean, unless you want to say that Wixoss is a Yu-Gi-Oh ripoff, as well.

2. His sidekick is based off of Ishikawa Goemon, not off of Hanzo Hattori.

Quite entertaining to be honest. It uses childish/soft animation, but given the setting I'd say it is fine that way.

All in all I like it.

That was fun enough for now. Here's hoping it doesn't just become repetitive.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

5.5/10 for this episode.
Putting this on hold.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

I don't understand why they make such shows. I think I will continue watching it in order to understand better. I think there is a lot of "Kaitous" this month: anime Magic Kaito, manga Magic Kaito
and this anime Kaitou Joker. So, I think there must be some meaning behind this but...

Seems like a cheap rip off of magic kaito. Hopefully it gets better......

This looks pretty good! I got a kick out of the part where Kaitou Joker's car pops out hydraulics and bounces off that freeway, which was definitely inspired by "Speed Racer/Mach GoGoGo."

LOL!
Joker is surprisingly messy and had 0 life points. That puts a twist with the coolness he presents.
He made fun out of the police.
And seriously?! What kind of police car had power winches! (It's too funny, the look on his face)
Was Joker being a tsundere back there?
Joker had his cruelty when Hachi was almost turned to shish-kebab. But he had his kindness when he saved Hachi and to a result, hurt his leg.
LOL! All it took was curry!
LOL! The look on his face when he saw the police!

Hachi: Make me your apprentice!
Joker: Where did that come from?!
Hachi: I beg you!
Joker: No way! Why should I...
Hachi: Please, call me apprentice!
Joker: I'm not going to! Get off me!

When I first watched the episode, I'm suddenly addicted to the Opening. It's just fun to listen and watch. It really fits it, my favorite part of the music that I like to hear sounded like,"'Au Revoir."

LOL! Hachi kept on being persistent even in a car chase!

Kaitou Joker so awesome when he trick other people at Kaneari mansion. Also, the police so cool when they chase Joker. I like it!
