Akira getting a parrot is the most Akira thing ever. The fact that he's trying to be more normal and have an ordinary life just makes it even more amusing.

A lot of man service for Akira too...he was naked quite a bit this episode. At least he has a new friend to hang around with. Very bizarre episode imo, even for this anime.

It's time for the pros to get a pet—a parrot!

As professionals, the Satou siblings are allowed to have a pet—a parrot, to be more exact. Receiving the next order from the boss, the Satou siblings head to a pet shop. There, Akira is chased by thugs... But the following day, after safely welcoming their pet parakeet Kashira, Akira is summoned by Satoshi Ebihara. They are taken to a warehouse at a certain port. Already, trouble visits Akira, who wishes for a normal life.

Why was the first thing that came to mind is that Akira went to get Jackal as a pet or something... I'm disappointed in myself. I also wouldn't expect anything less from Akira... picking a parrot just because it's the same type as the one on the logo of his gun company, lol. Then my man was having the time of his life being chased by guys who want to beat him up. Also, did that bird, or rather Captain as Akira named him, bite one of fucking pubes off??? LMFAO. Also, the morale of the story: if you want to hook up with a chick, don't jizz all over your car.

I'm getting tired of this fat pig giving out orders... when he's nothing more than a henchman

Can't remember the last time I saw pubic hair, specifically male pubic hair in anime, so I've to thank the Fable (both the anime and the guy) for servicing me. That bird is so lucky to get to chew Fable.

Akira imitating the mental state of a deer for his chase scene was hilarious. Really enjoyed this episode. I have not read the source, so not sure how faithful this adaptation is, but this show seems very underrated.

I was honestly hoping for more of a slice of life approach with troubles just naturally finding him, not one of the supposedly trusted men to go out of his way to make it difficult for him…. Still pretty interesting but that plot point is somewhat irritating.

Okay, maybe don't get naked around Captain.

Very cool pets have been acquired, and Fable has evaded another fight. The dumbass henchmen got a laugh out of me with how conspicuous they make everything. Youko is definitely not impressed with the dude who's been stalking her. The second in command guy keeps doing things without approval from the boss. Can't see that ending well for him.

Continuing for now. This'll be my first time following a double-cour seasonal.

Okay this episode was just stupid funny from Akira imitating a deer to the gentle aggression against the parrot that then proceeds to rip a pube out to the awkwardness of his Captain asking him to head somewhere while he's just sitting there naked and thinking he is hitting on him lol

I assume he sleeps in the bath tub as a safety thing. The fiberglass can help slow a bullet.

I guess we have to settle for the subpar animation. The rest makes up for it, though.

It's been too long since I started reading the manga, so memory isn't fresh enough to actually compare, but I really do like the anime so far.

(But pls don't start with shounen-crap pre- and mid-fight cliffhangers now.)

Another really fun episode, this feels like a mix of the down to earth yakuza esque realism of My Home Hero and the pure shitposting that was Under Ninja, perfect to cool down and be entertained without expecting godtier story telling or Wit tier animation

Oh and can i say how cool the ending song is? Might be my favourite of the season, the chorus is great

The market is bad for firearms, and Takeshi's friend is now selling pets, which the Sato siblings are leaning towards that idea from their boss. Aside from the jackass joker that is Jackal, Akira spotting Takahashi and his henchmen who's chasing him down the supermarket, he's just playing hide-and-seek with them lols, it's damn hilarious even with the rather intentionally bad animation. But purchasing a black-headed Brazilian Amazon parrot for 190k yen is quite pricey, and while the henchmen figure out how he jumped from a bridge, the bird is named Captain, for all the good reasons.

Takeshi wanting Takahashi to go on a date with Yoko while she raises a hamster, it's quite the dilemma while Akira goes around his business naked, only to find Takeshi wanting a date with him...but not that gay way. While Takahashi deals with Yoko, Takeshi deals with Akira, still not trusting of his Fable nickname, and wanting to put his skills to the test.

Try to play with the Fable, and he'll deal his hand FAST.

I’m feeling the anime more. But it goes without saying the animation is not great. I’ll try to move past it but isn’t getting dropped as of now. Since I like the humor I will probably like the manga at least

A good episode! I feel like this episode was able to more so showcase what the series is truly about, the story only gets better from here! The animation is kinda rough still but seemed a little bit better other than the random cgi cars we got

Also kinda a weird high action point to end the episode, not sure how theyre going to open back into that and still make it as cool as it was in the manga.

when he said he is taking the parrot the girl didn't even react.. that should be a surprise for her! a big one if taking into consideration his dispassionate behaviour..

also the idea of that mafia guy to harass MC is stupid.. from first sight he should know its not gonna work.. but then again him trying to act innocent is also retarded..

starting to dislike this anime after this episode.. might be one of 1% anime I drop if it won't get better.. at least funny please..

and why he has to be naked all the time?.. can't she also?
good that the bird bit him some, but then again he probably liked it...

he laughts at this Jackal all the time.. he is either stupid or retarded.. great anime about retarded killer without emotions..

also the girl is hard to like.. proved that on this "date" with her act and way of thinking, also she is ugly..

hard to find anything to like in this anime.. maybe just that it is about yakuza...

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

It may be a better idea to put on some clothes before you tell a guy that you sat in his car. I love how Akira fucks with everyone xD

Mission convincing others you're not a pro failed successfully.

Though jokes aside, in an attempt to make this all seem realistic.. feel-wise, studio really isn't doing a good job, unlike them thinking they're doing.

I was locked in this episode in comparison 2 the previous 2.
The sis is teaching me about Japanese dates😂😂. So he has a pet now. We didn't see that woman again. Bro has infinite stamina and does everything naked😂. I wonder if there is a story behind that. Ending the episode just before he fights
animes are so jarring for that.

I really did not expect this anime to have the Shoushimin plot.

Anyway, the parrot is special.

The Fable will have his kill in a while. Looks like he can still kill but will not count for the year.
