Episode 01

______________________

The obvious comparison is Baccanno!, and this does feel eerily similar with a somewhat more lean cast, for now. Some of the animation looked a bit rushed, but the happenings and old-timey direction made up for any production faults in my eyes. Another hopeful for this season. Give it a try.

Episode 2:

One 'target' already dead, and a list of the other hits has been made known to the audience. I suspect the others won't be so straightforward. I also hope theres more to this story than a simple anti-hero taking revenge. There is a lot of potentially complex storytelling potential in here if the anime chooses to fully realize it. Three unfriendly mob factions, and such. I wish the animation were a little less rough, but other than that, no complaints.

This is a nice enough watch for me. Industrial Revolution type eras are close enough to Steampunk enough for me to like I guess. Early chemistry/science, with lots of things being physical (as opposed to digital).

None of that matters in such a story of course.

Just watched the first 2 episodes, and I love this series so far.

There's a scene after the ED in episode 2 just in case.

Episode 3:

With high expectations, I thought this week's episode was weak. Lots of shooting and lots of misses, and some of the tension found in earlier episodes, was completely absent I thought. Still enjoying the series, but was hoping this episode would've been much better. A setback in my opinion. Fango is nuts, and adds flavor to the series, but he's becoming a running joke, so I hope he gets killed off soon.

Last scene of the episode was promising.

Also curious, the anime is called 91 Days, and each episode is called a "Day" as in episode 3 is "Day 3"... so I wonder how long will that go on, as I doubt this will be 91 episodes long.

The sub-par production is really unfortunate in this show. I actually find the low detail and crudely lined background shots/characters jarring. I had to watch the episode twice to better understand what, exactly, was going on, but once I did I had a much better appreciation for the direction the story is going in. Clever plots, logical thinking, and enjoyable dialogue (as translated by Horriblesubs) are doing a better job of holding my attention than the animation, which is sadly rare in anime nowadays.

And here's episode 4:

Still one of the series I'm most looking forward to this season, but what I expected from the first episode hasn't really materialized. Not really feeling this series as much as I thought it would, and part of it is that it's taken a levity and comedic approach to the plot that is not really working for me. I thought this was going to be more serious.

The antagonist in this latest episode was quite badass though.

Episode 7 is out.

DISCUSS - this show is the shit

The shit or shit?

Yum! Lasagna!

I've been up and down with the series, enjoyed the last one quite a bit.

[Buffalobiian]

The show is enjoyable. Whoever this last person is, they want the other 3 people dead to remove all traces of his involvement. Until Avilio finds this guy, Nero will be kept alive.

[lelouch]

I'm pretty drunk, and I think I just solved the ENTIRE SERIES. This is what I think will be the revelation:

- There is no 4th guy, Nero wrote the letter and said the 4th guy thing just to see where it goes.
- Nero is the guy who shot at Little Avilio when he ran away. But what he didn't say -- but actually happened -- is he felt guilty and purposely shot in the air / missed, so his team hears a gunshot but doesn't realize he let him get away on purpose.
- There will be some backstory humanizing Nero's involvement
- Avilio will have an internal conflict of whether to kill Nero at the end since they'll have become friends.


BOOOOM

[Buffalobiian]

So Nero just gave away the names of his friends and thought they should die because he felt remorseful?

That's a pretty dick move.

his friends gave him away to make peace with the orcos / galassias.

That was his brother right?

One of his friends got killed by the MC. I don't actually remember the other one.

Yep, brother.

[neflight86]

If they want a twist reveal, the only candidate I can image (who wrote the letter) is going to be his bootlegger friend. He was there that night. The family didn't approach until he left, and we didn't see him again till the next scene. If they do that, though, that would make him a very interesting character who is satisfied orchestrating his own murder out of guilt?

EP7







OMFG WOW. I have no words. I'll try though.

Amazing.

[neflight86]

Very exciting episode with enough deaths to satisfy a Game of Thrones Season finale.

[Munsu]

Now this is what I've fucking waiting for, excellent episode. Cool events aside, finally we see Angelo doing some real scheming which was my main interest in all of this.

Last line of the episode was awesome as well. Pushing his luck though.
