I shouldn't have gotten attached to Skip. His death broke my heart.
I really liked how dynamic this episode was. But this anime hurts so much. I can't even express how bad I feel for Ash and how much I would love to see him happy for the rest of his life.

It was all so intense! I loved how Eiji showed courage and decided to do his best instead of passively waiting for whatever cruel fate that could befall him if he remained there. I'm also sure that it wasn't easy to leave Ash and Skip behind, but he had no choice, if he escaped he would be able to call for help, or at least he believed so, but when he escaped he couldn't do anything since the landing was pretty rough, but he certainly flew, it was a beautiful scene! I also wasn't expecting Skip to die at all, it was brutal.

I also wasn't expecting Ash to risk Skip's and his own life to protect Eiji, he certainly made an impression in the lynx. Also I've watched a lot of anime, but this is only the second time I see a protagonist going to jail, I'm worried, but excited!

The OP and ED are both fucking lit, I love it.

Anyways, Eiji used to be a pole vaulter, wait till he lands on Ash’s pole. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ash was able to manipulate Marvin quickly just by running his fingers on his tender, youthful body. Marvin is a pedo and wants him. That was so dumb how they escaped easily. However, Eiji’s reaction when he found out Marvin was gay and liked Ash was pretty funny.

I had a feeling Ash was working with the police anyways since the first episode. However, I’m a hundred percent sure some people on the force are working with his Papa Dino aside from that fucking pervert that played child pornography inside the precinct.

FUCK MARVIN! FUCK that fucking pig for killing Skip and for being a fucking pedophile! He killed my favorite character and I’m sure he raped Ash in the past! Fucking bastard should’ve suffered more before he died. I wanted to see him tortured. Also that cop is disgusting for playing child pornography where Ash was the victim with that smug look on his face.

Now that Skip is dead… I guess Ash is my next favorite :( Skip was a good boy.

RIP Skip. Marvin deserve to die.

They blamed Ash for the murder. Dino have a lot of contacts. He seemed to be interested in 'Banana Fish'. That cop is a motherfucker.

RIP Skip :( Your cheerfull personality will never be forgotten. This angel should not have died like this... it was too sudden!

Poor Ash. He arrived at the place at the wrong time. Did Marvin killed himself? Dino is up to no good -_-"

This anime is getting crazier and crazier and is making me want to watch till the end. This looks like it's going to be a good action anime. Can't wait! :D

Is the goal of this thing to bombard me with events chaining into each other like nothing was important at all?
While everything seems potentially interesting, nothing seems important at all.

Drawings are nice (apart from the 3D streets), animation is good enough, but faces are weirdly bland. Everyone looks so thin and perfectly smooth, it's ... weird.

Damn it Skipper ;_; I knew something like that would happen.

So now Ash is in prison and it seems he will have it rough there. I just hope this Max Lobo guy helps him before something darker happen to him.

The ED song is really nice. The OP too but I liked the ED way more.

P.S.: Using those videos to make Ash confess something he didn't do... what a piece of shit.

Marvin was absolutely disgusting. I couldn’t be happier that he died so early into the series. Considering everything he did to Ash, I can’t understand how the poor child could even bare to be around him.

And poor Skip:/ I definitely thought it was possible that he would die, but not this early on. He was such a nice kid.

Also, Eiji is adorable. I love all of his reactions. He seems so innocent. And he has some pole vaulting skills so that’s nice.

Once again, I am disgusted with what happened to Ash. Child pornography?! I can’t imagine how traumatized Ash must be. How terrible.

Now it seems that Ash is heading to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Dino has a bunch of his men on the inside that are more than likely gonna try and kill Ash. Let’s see where this goes.

I'm speechless, this show really know how to steer the wheel, and again, how is this a Shoujo?
That scene when him as a child pron star was just so messed up on so many levels, and it even helps put how much of a piece of shit that fat mafioso was to him, he must have been the one suffering for so much, occasionally throwing at him mean comments, but that can never fuel the hatred he had for him, all that can be seen in his eyes when he was being questioned by that officer.
Rest in peace Skipper, just two bullets and a soul was out, this show really doesn't know what toning down really is, the fat child rapist should have shot Ash when he had the chance to, it's kind of his fault that things ended up like that.
This show really brings up a lot of memories about Gangsta. and a bit about 91 Days, but more so for Gangsta.

Geez, I was sure Skip would be this cute little sidekick, definitely didn't see him dying this soon coming. Can't say I felt sad about it though, didn't get enough time to know him.

Also I'm pretty sure no cop is allowed to show children pornography material to anyone, ESPECIALLY to the victim of said video, like wtf.

Martin got what he deserved. Poor Skip, he was gone too soon. He was such a likeable kid!!!! His love & respect for Ash must have been so great that he would willingly take the bullets for him. RIP ㅜㅡㅜ

Martin is plain disgusting but so was that dirty cop for treating Ash like that during the interrogation. And how unsettling it is that such nasty people do exist.

Eiji is simply ♡_______♡
Ash clearly has taken a liking to him. Who wouldn’t!
Poor Ash......hope the Max guy would be able to protect him in prison.

That ED!!!!!! How amazing







but i’ll probably remember over and over again

RIP Skip I was starting to really like his character and it sucks that he died. I think that Ash's situation goes much deeper than him just being sexually assaulted, I think there is way more to the story.

Ah yes. This is simply the first of many sufferings that will come. Given the pace it's going, every episode will probably have some kind of gut-wrenching moment/scene ugh I can't believe I'll be reliving the pain all over again.

And also Marvin can go drop dead for all I care. He deserves hell.

EDIT: Also yeah, get ready for almost every side character to somehow mention Ash's beauty/charm/sexiness. That'll happen a lot in the series. Heck, Ash is hella aware and makes very good use of it!

Damn, I already got attached to skip and now he's dead because of that FAT FUCKING PEDO MARVIN. I absolutely hate Marvin and I hope he's alive so Ash can torture his body till he dies of shock. Also Eiji and Ash would be an amazing duo, I have a feeling that Ash has been working for the police so that's why he doesn't kill.

I know this show is supposed to get pretty moving later on, but dang, it's already kind of sad.

Anyway, the first episode didn't really convince me, but this episode for sure did. It's not going to be put on-hold; I'll probably binge it all straight through.
