Second for best girl

Is this going to be 13 episodics, or are we getting a cohesive plot?

I hope we get some military intrigue stuff to justify the spiffy uniforms.

>>152118186
damn, the op is pretty gud
what's this even about tho ? Smocking military guys doing military things ?

You people all ask the same questions.

>>152119804
It's about public service audits.

Inb4 is this fujoshit?

NO.

is this fujoshit?

Just watched the episode, I'm not sure if I like it yet, but I'm intrigued.

So, is Cop-kun going to frame Jean for arson? Should be interesting enough.

>>152120019
>>152120055
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. GODDAMMIT /a/.
Just because the MC is male and fashionable it doesn't mean this series is Fujoshi.

>>152120295

Looks that way. My speculah is that the arsons are part of a bigger plot still.

Is this a neonazi/fascism propaganda?

>>152120572
Could be. It would be funny if Cop-kun accidentally uncovered something big while trying to frame Jean.

Episode 1 was pretty good, definitely going to keep watching.

Am I the only one who thinks that even think of abolishing the Inspection department was really strange? How did it seem logical to them?

I get the speech about peaceful times with no inner strife etc. etc., but greed doesn't depend on current political situation, it is ever present. Why did so many of them seem to think that they were not needed?

>>152120666
It's far worse than that, anon. It's cigarette-smoking propaganda.

>>152120903
First thing I thought about was that one or more of the chiefs is corrupt but that would be a bit too obvious.

Blue is flat as a pancake.

>>152121008
Yes, the corruption came to my mind as well, but as you said, outright abolishing the whole department isn't subtle at all.

Although now that I think of it... Perhaps the chief who came up with the idea never really intended to abolish it at all? Maybe he just wanted to see the reactions of others to determine who may be happy at the development and thus could be corrupt? They did say that you can never say what he's thinking, so perhaps it was a test of sorts.

But it's probably pointless to try guess these things after one episode.

>>152121190
Yeah that would make sense. I kinda don't think any of the 5 chiefs is an actual "villain" but as you said that was just episode 1, too early to really speculate .

By the way is the manga translated?

>>152121404
Nothing beyond what we've already seen. Chapter 2 was restructured a bit for the episode.

Really liked the first episode. Gave me a bit of noir-ish feeling, so I hope the story will have some kind of detective angle.
Great OST too.

Is this the dumb and edgy anime of the season?

If I liked Active Raid will I like this?

Very stylish first episode, but like everyone else I have no idea where this is going, I guess I'll keep watching until we find out if it's shit or not.

No, this is the mature slow paced political anime of the season

Like,wake up.

I love everything made by Natsume Ono.

this anime does not need a general

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Not my usual cup of tea at all, but I enjoyed the first episode. Jean is great.

Not sure if it's going to keep my interest, since I find political maneuvering boring as fuck, but I'm giving it the 3 episodes.

Is this some kinda Divine Gate and Joker Game combo?

>>152127908
No, why the fuck are people comparing this to Joker Game?

>>152127908
nothing to do with joker game

>>152128834
Presumably because it has a vaguely serious tone and a cast with lots of adult men. And also they're idiots. Did you expect more?

Oh shit, picked up.

I enjoyed this despite my reservations, but I'm not entirely sure I can quite say why. I guess it was the same way with House of Five Leaves.

Most promising show so far outside of Rakugo. I hope it does well.

it was published in Big Gangan, so it's seinen, but somewhat toned down (same magazine as Goblin Slayer, Dimension W, Shinohayu, Bamboo Blade B/C).

Fuck that, we need more stuff like this.

Just watching him pat himself down for his lighter is neat to watch. Especially cause it's been shown that he tends to forget his lighter everywhere, so in a way, this is like the climax of the episode for me.

>>152137221
We're one episode in.

The first episode was entirely introducing a couple of characters and the world, so it was definitely pretty slow, although they hinted a bit at plot at the end. Just have to wait and see how it goes.

>>152137808
I for one enjoy the smoking aesthetic. It reminds me of when America was great.

>>152118186
What a fucking great OP. I wonder how the season wraps up. The manga is great.

>>152118186
Is this a show about Accounting?

>>152138863

I agree, I actually don't have any complaints about the first episode at all - loved it, really. I made that graphic to poke fun at the anons from yesterday that were questioning why smoking is featured so prominently. Smoking is clearly going to play a bigger role than 'aesthetics'.

>>152139267
Audits.

That OP is groovy as fuck

>>152137079
Because they move like humans beans.

>>152137079
I like the moment of realisation where he's truly dead inside.

>>152137808
I would love for them to insert as many scenes and references to that habit of the protagonist and then be nothing related to the PLOT.

>>152141183
But it already is part of the plot. This first episode's anyway, with tobacco smuggling and arsons.

>>152141134
Isn't that Jean 100% of the time?

That look he has at the end is a "Welp, the last thing I really care about is gone."

>>152137808
I believe they actually are. You remember how they referenced him smoking in the central square every day, and then one day he chose not to because he felt watched?

Stuff like that is a common signal in spy stuff (I've been compromised) but considering he openly stated that he felt watched after he came home made me wonder whether that was red herring or chance for the viewer to realize it.

I've yet to figure out how the catalogues Jean carries around plays into all this.

>>152141797
My first assumption was that he gets money for however many he gets rid of, but doughnut vending machines 'for reading' seems too absurd to be legit business.

>>152141797
A second layer of corruption hidden behind the obvious corporate -public servant collaboration perhaps?

>>152141797
Maybe it's a way to pass on secret info?

>>152124087
Probably not, Active Raid was fun.

>>152142609

Seems a strange way to do it considering they already seem to have an internet of sorts.

>>152137079
Probably because despite the fact his body is turning and twisting, the anatomy never feel off.

>>152122895
I'm getting a political intrigue vibe from this show, like you have to pay attention to the interactions between the characters and who may be backstabbing who.

>>152139267
internal affairs.

>>152141797
maybe he supplements his pay by being a salesman, but keeps it on the down low by just distributing catalogs

Episode 2 preview and summary

Shin Wakabayashi on direction and storyboards which is good, but the animation is outsourced to the Koreans at DR MOVIE.

The little sister is the one preparing the suitcase of catalogues so maybe it's actually her business and Jean uses his job to get her connections inside the government for big sales.

OP of the season? Nothing else I've heard was this good.

>>152141797

>>152149887
Dr. Movie is a Madhouse subsidiary.

>>152141867
>but doughnut vending machines 'for reading' seems too absurd to be legit business.

There are literally magazines for EVERYTHING in Japan.

>>152150056
iktf. Parka with reverse-facing pockets (meant to prevent shit from falling out in a blizzard with 50 mph winds). The top flaps are the normal pocket direction but the insides are angled "backwards"

>>152149053
Honestly this was my first assumption. He did say that guys from Inspection department don't get paid as much as the cops do and cops seem to consider themselves to be poorfags. Where does he get money for cigarettes, then? I imagine that he gets a cut of profits for renting the apartments, but it's not unreasonable to assume that he's also distributing catalogs for money.

>>152152816
>but it's not unreasonable to assume that he's also distributing catalogs for money.

Wouldn't the pay be literal pennies? Then again, tobacco is a luxury so I guess it wouldn't be that strange. That or commission from sales of course.

>>152152816
>>152153554
Maybe there is a tobacco subsidy for employees of HQ?

>>152124924
sister or wife?

>>152153619
whynotboth.tiff

>>152152816
His sister was talking about
>maintaining family business
so I assumed that their parents own real estate and vending machines catalogues are also because it's their company that the sister takes care of

>>152153616
I doubt it. Why would they give Jean the nickname if everyone at HQ had an easy access to it? He stands out because of the cigarettes in a way nobody else does.

>>152153682
Oh yeah, that's definitely possible, the sister is the one who gets the catalogs ready after all. Could be connected to the family business.

>>152118186
>info dump the show
Good god

>>152153729
It wasn't that bad even if the exposition was a bit clumsy. Now we can move onto better things, I'm curious what will happen next.
Though I'm annoyed by the number of characters they introduced, I have memory of a goldfish when it comes to remembering names irl, let alone in muh Chinese cartoons.

>>152150940
And they're still a bunch of Koreans.

Something about director general feels really shady and i cant quite put my finger on it

I liked the art, op, animation, and everything else. But to me, it felt kind of dry. I'm hoping for things to happen, and it starts getting some more action soon.

The ending was good, and the constant talk of arson and peddling in cigarettes, but I really need some higher stakes in this. Some danger.

>>152154599
>I really need some higher stakes in this. Some danger.
