Well, for me this was the most fun first episode of the winter season so far. Yes, it was pretty silly and not exactly intellectually challenging, but it's perfectly aware of that so it's fine by me. It's also nothing new, but when we're talking about brainless fun, who cares? Not me.

Wandering Soul · 2016-01-07, 18:16

Can't really say anything about this grabbed my interest. The episode was pretty "meh" to me. Maybe I'll find the next couple of episodes enjoyable.

Ep 01

Unfortunately I did not find the first ep especially interesting or engaging. Got bored half way through and finally had to turn it off.

Dropping the series for now, just did not seem like my cup of tea. Ah well.

Kusaja · 2016-01-07, 19:32

Not too bad. I thought it was quite entertaining. Not really smart nor too clever, outside of making a lot of jokes. Most of which made me smile. That said, I suppose it needs a few more episodes to really grab people. The cast of characters has only been barely introduced and there's a lot more to be done before they can become truly likable rather than just funny.

What Taniguchi himself said about this not being a serious show is very true though. If you're expecting a Japanese cartoon that wants you to turn your brain on, you will probably suffer for it.

Irenesharda · 2016-01-07, 20:03

Well, it definitely wasn't what I expected, a lot more comedic and all over the place than I thought it would be. The MC girl is rather annoying, but I like how the team basically met each of her complaints at every turn.

It's a rather silly show, but I'll hang around for a few more episodes I guess.

To be honest that sounds like the least likely option of all.

Eh, isn't this a bit too roundabout for that though? If they really want to get rid of her, just fire her or something.

On the episode itself: Not bad. I'm not loving it, but I was entertained enough throughout it. The CG actually being decent and not an eyesore definitely helped with that. Since we are dealing another tale of quirky misfits in a professional setting, I'm guessing that Asami's one is speaking random english for no reason. Could have some meme potential there.

HighGuard · 2016-01-07, 21:04

Not really feeling it so far. Will give it a few more eps before I'm forced to drop it,but I really want to drop it now. Wasn't expecting a comedy of sorts, plus the main character is really annoying

Darthtabby · 2016-01-07, 22:03

So buddy cop meets sentai?

It's not the greatest thing ever, but so far it seems entertaining. It's silly, but I don't necessarily mind silly.

Master_Yoma · 2016-01-07, 22:26

Well the girl seem to be playing by the book well everyone else goes with there gut the whole team seems to work really well together

aakun4 · 2016-01-07, 22:55

I was skeptical about this show because it's apparently going to be episodic and I don't really like police shows much either (watched enough detective j-drama for a lifetime already) so I wasn't expecting much, and this episode didn't make me think otherwise.

I think the show went way too fast into the action before getting the viewer to understand the world setting. Visually it was great. Characters weren't anything special (not like they really introduced them anyway) but I liked the main girl. The mecha (suits?) looked great in action and all but yeah, I think it just isn't my type of show. but for anyone into the genre it should be a good watch.

Dropping it for now but could pick up again latter if the story gets interesting.

Julio C · 2016-01-07, 22:59

That girl was a bit too boyish, but it is a girl right?

If you're talking about the main character, I'm pretty certain, yes.

Chosen_Hero · 2016-01-07, 23:34

So we have Tiger and Bunny, Popura-chan from working, a tomboyish Akane from Psycho-pass, the trains from Rails Wars (waiting for the PLOT to also reveal itself

) with the craziness from mid-season Samurai Flamenco and Tiger and Bunny but in a police setting... sure, why not I'll give it a chance.

I'll be watching this, knowing the girl(s) get the 'suits', too.

Cloudedmind · 2016-01-08, 00:36

Well, I had a lot of fun watching it, and the OP was quite catchy, so I'll be sticking around for more.

Iron Maw · 2016-01-08, 00:43

I like the OP a lot too. In fact I've had on repeat for like an hour.

serenade_beta · 2016-01-08, 01:39

Mm... Hmm... I get where it is going. But hmm... is I can really say...

Depends on what kind of job security she has. I'm not sure a lot of jurisdictions would consider "annoyingly eager to do a good job" to be a valid motive for termination. And, since politics is all-important there, she may be related to some politician.

But she volunteered to be sent away. If I was her boss, I'd sign the transfer papers, too.

actually its more just a typical 'super powered cop' genre staple in Tokusatsu shows like the Metal Heroes & Space Sheriffs series, Cybercops by Toho, & Armored Police Metal Jack which is an anime done by Sunrise being sort of a spiritual successor to Cybercops,

the Super Sentai series has its own version though, being Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, check out its OP song by Psychic Lover, its kickass awesome.
