Kabukichou is an interesting setting at least, curious as to how this turns out...

Original anime by Production IG can be a hit or miss. I'll be optimistic about this although that premise sounds kinda interesting.

It has Durarara vibe to it, which is nice. Not sure about the writer though, he's hit or miss. Hopefully the director is good enough to steer the writing.

Eh this seems alright but the staff is rather underwhelming from what I'm noticing. Will give it a shot tho.

How was it a disappointment? We were promised the adaptation of an anthology spy novel and that's what we got.

I want to be optimistic about this but the staff picks look pretty lackluster and both the key visual and synopsis are strangely giving me bad vibes. And it being an IG original work sets me off. I'll give it a try anyway though cause why not.

the main visual gives me "hakata tonkotsu ramens" show vibes(which aired quite months ago) but seeing its going to be original anime is more interested me. That way we can expect to see full story. neat.

Fujoshit masked as a "mature" anime.

Is it so hard to do a gender-balanced cast of characters? It's all sausagefests or all-girls animes these days, where are animes like Code Geass or Fullmetal Alchemist?

Uh in the poster I think I just saw a girl or two ... so wouldn't that negate the fujoshit thing?

I dunno.

Just saying.
