Pretty nice coming from the prequel, the older artstyle also makes it a bit more appealing imo!

That was a pretty neat futuristic premise, though it is unfortunate with those electric A.I. vehicles having no failsafe system in place.

This show is a shitload of fun. Great animation & voice acting. Kitschy 90's feel. I loved every second.

I tried because Fujishima's name was on this car chase anime. The road action was good, the drawings/chara-designs correct to good but the sci-fi background (who has a little inconvenience) seems to be only an excuse to deliver the chases.

Better than expected. I hope the dumb kid doesn't take too much of the spotlight from the girls in future episodes.

This anime is the future... with self-driving cars vulnerable to hacks and what not... I wonder how long it will be before our cars will (by law) pull themselves over for the police.

How nice, not only do the subs misspell Risa's name, but so does MAL. Her name is shown on the map in the show.

this just to imform you that as per I know, Japanese people can't pronounce L, they replace L with R, probably there is no such alphabet which resembles L. There is an anime called Lupin 3 (the old one, the real Lupin 3), but in the anime everyone calls him as Rupan.

Soichi seems to be the kind of character that would have been a favorite of mine, had I watched this anime when it released. I loved the animation, particularly around the Lotus. Great shoutout and car chase, talking about the good ol' days and the perception of self driving cars in the early part of the new millennium.

I liked the whole design and setting, but of course high school kids are top agents because Japan, they just top it with the middle school kid being even better...
chase scene was awful... why was she running holding her gun like she was about to find some criminal at any moment? how the hell did she end up on the stage of a strip club!? whole sequence was hell of dumb...
