Another thing is what proof is there that it's not just a hoax by the guy? Until someone actually dies, there's no way to know for sure, but considering he's believed by everyone to be a genius, guess it kind of figures everyone would be predisposed to believe he's serious.

Whether it's a virus or a drug, really feels farfetched one could ever be developed with such a long time delay before it becomes dangerous to people. Also, some people will take more hapna than others, so wouldn't increased useage result in some people getting sicker sooner? Really would have to be one hell of a genius to create something like that. Also, hard to believe anything that potentially lethal could get past FDA approval without being detected. Given it's the central premise the show is based upon though, guess don't have much of a choice but to just go with.

So it's a cliche plot with an logic-defying premise haha.  Let's hope the characters and action are decent at least.

permission to open fire...but try not to hit anyone?

 

again, i don't think these guys understand the function f a firearm...

To be fair, they probably don't exactly have the time to injure him with a gunshot wound if they can help it.

They did mention an Einstein comparison. I'm wondering if it's in any way analogous to a side effect but engineered. I mean I'm no scientist lol, but I imagine there's at least some mechanism by which it could work in theory after 20-30 more years of R & D. Kind of a flimsy premise but im not too concerned.

Yeah, kind of what I was thinking and my thoughts

good question. If I understand Watanabe, the whole societal sickness thing is just a commentary on our addiction to instant gratification and the angle he took is just a convenient plot device.  He's probably not overly concerned with making sure it's all 100 grounded in reality. I probably would have preferred something less flimsy tbh, but that's not necessarily Watanabe's wheelhouse.

I dunno man, I’m pretty sure The Kingsman 2 already did this plot. 
 

The whole prison breakout seemed really forced to make the MC look good, while also ignoring common knowledge about prison guards. Primarily that they don’t carry guns and don’t wear ties, for the exact reasons depicted here. Is that why Spike Jr escapes so many prisons? Because they are all ran poorly in the future? 
 

Lots of style, not much substance. Kind of what we expect from an episode 1 of a Toonami original. I just hope they didn’t blow all their style budget on that episode, because I doubt the substance level is gonna go up any.

I can fuck to this so far. Hell, I don't even need much plot, just give me 10 minutes of that insane choreography and Watanabe's fantastic music choices per episode and I'm set. Really makes me want to replay Mirror's Edge.

3 to 888?

 

maybe yoiu'd have been better off staying put for a while, Axel...

LOL I love her kicking him out of the car after hearing that he was sentenced to 888 years.

"Get the hell out of here you psycho" 🤣

This whole show is about substance in a manner of speaking. xD

Someone didn't do enough research on prisons when they wrote this episode.

Finally got around to the first episode, and much to my chagrin, I had to use Microsoft Edge in order to do so. It ain't a masterpiece, mostly thanks to Sentai's typical dub direction (Axel's VA easily gives the biggest damn of the bunch), but I dig it, the music especially, and I imagine that like will increase the more people try to break their backs claiming it's Mediocre, Actually.
