| The Swindler is starting to become a valuable member of the team and the first part of the heist is completed. |
 |
| The lack of security inside and outside of the station was pretty strange, but maybe that will be explained later. The characters do bounce off of each other well and I am liking how they have been building this world. Next episode looks like a banger too, can’t wait. |
| Good episode again. That lady was totally straight out of Psycho Pass, especially since she had the same seiyuu. xD Nice contrast between the both elevator buttons. One was solved with finesse and the other with brute force. Swindler coming in with the clutch, looking forward to see what's next. |
 |
| That was a pretty intense episode! The Swindler is basically their missing piece in the team xD She's doing the most dangerous parts lmao, what a badass. Judging by the preview, the next episode is where the real action begins. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| actually really like how this episode wasn't as crazy over the top and served some more world building can't believe how i want to know more about this train and a box it carries |
 |
| This show is soooo much fun. I'm not too bothered by the bland typical "fish out of water" mc because there's so much happening. Love the visuals. This episode had really creative scene transitions. |
| Another banger, this show been putting out consistently fantastic episodes. I hope they keep it up until the end. Imma say it again but, I really like Ordinary Person. A really great mc and she ain't useless as seen this episode. She can pull her weight... heh. Though that ad by the shark and rabbit about the executioners making me very sus that there is a spy in the team since it mentioned executioners do undercover work so, fuck. |
 |
| This episode was just great. I liked, that there were no fights and it was aimed only on the robbery, so the whole episode acted differently from the previous episodes. |
“In my next life, I want to be me, and meet you again" |
| Swindler put her life on the line for Courier, I want their ship now. |

| That's some luck they have... That timing tho, would have been more interesting if one of them were a little late. What if the swindler couldn't push that gear at all... |
whither said: This show is soooo much fun. I'm not too bothered by the bland typical "fish out of water" mc because there's so much happening. Love the visuals. This episode had really creative scene transitions. I completely agree. The scenes transitions overall in this show are on a whole different level. Things evolved from images cut and/or blurred out to this, and I hope other shows follow this innovative example because I'm lovin' it! And as far as this episode goes, we got some interesting developments, especially between characters and it seems like the show will continue to do that. I'm hoping for backstories and motives (like the one Courier gave to Swindler). |
| holy fuck !!! this episode so intense and badas !! awesome and superr cooll |
| HOLY SHIT 3 EPISODE LATE AND I JUST REALIZED IT HAS THE SAME CREATOR AS DANGANRONPA THE MAN KODAKA HIMSELF. No wonder it gave me so much danganronpa vibe since the begining, especially with those character designs (the multi-colored hairstyle, that big guy eyelash that remind me of Akane) and how each character is introduced. and YESS the doctor VA is Megumi Ogata HELL YEAHH. |
  |
| Caught up to this series. It was solid enough to keep me watching. My biggest complain is easily Brawler and Hodlum which I found to be annoying. I never liked these loud and brag type of characters. Having said that, the fact the cat keeps the appearances of both Swindler and Hoodlum within these Akudama teams is quite fishy, as they are not classified big criminals. Considering this anime is from the same guy who wrote Danganronpa, it may leads to major twist towards the ending. Something similar to Hajime and/or Komaeda perhaps? Nah but both Swindler and Hoodlum aren't close enough. Guess I'll just enjoy how the plot unfolds itself. |

| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| I just noticed that the episode titles are all famous action movies: Se7en, Resevoir Dogs, Mission: Impossible, Speed. This show is a blast to watch though, definitely one of the best of the season so far. Here's hoping that they can keep it up. |
| Another great episode. This week I took in the art work of the ED though while listening to the music. Thats some seriously sweet character drawings. Reminded my the artist HR Giger and his mad drawings. |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| wow, i didn't except to like this anime that much, since i am not really into action and sci-fi anime. i love the animation style and the bgm!! |
 |
| I had to stop and check if the VA was the same and YEP. |
 |
| Everyone is getting suspect on swindler, but the one im honestly expecting to be a plant is gambler above anyone else, he came into the plan so last minute he reads as the most suspect for me. Outside of speculating, at the end of the day this show is just a blast whither said: Even with that trope, Swindler is alot funnier and more importantly, actually bounces off of the other characters without ever getting in the way of them like these types of shows normally do with that type of character. Her reactions are genuinely funny and shes already starting to show her bullshit luck has her hold he own.This show is soooo much fun. I'm not too bothered by the bland typical "fish out of water" mc because there's so much happening. Love the visuals. This episode had really creative scene transitions. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Okay. The mission impossible started. The infiltration plan to Shikansen more easy than i expected. But, its still fine knewing the fact that Swindler and Hoodlum had more useful than before xD. Despite the fact of that, her last sentence before the mission kinda sad. She strayed away. But who care with that, you damn, little girl? You just decided your fate inside their activity, so you didn't need any regret of that and help your damn team! So thats it, her decision was nice, and the role of her satisfied me a lot, especially as her status as Swindler xD. That elevator scene, tho. Lol, Hoodlum, the fortune god always protect you from a miserable failure. Same to the girl too. Then, as expected, they succeeded the infiltration mission to Shinkansen, and ready to steal the precious cargo item from that big train! Lets see the next for another quite nice action packed! |

| True Heist Movie feel, hitting hard in this. |
 |
| Man Courier almost died cause of that plan. The plan almost went smoothly but Brawler activated it too earlier and almost messed up the whole plan. |
 |
| This is better than I expected and I expected it to be great. It's impressive that they managed to establish so many characters so quickly. I also can't wait to see what the deal is with Kanto. This looks like one of those anime that you can just sit back and experience. |
| nice badass stylish! especially Courier's cool bike! and the timing of bonjin! 5/5. |

| Time sure does pass by while watching this anime. Top tier escapism material, absolutely loving it so far. |
   |
| I actually consider it to be best new fall anime over Jujutsu Kaisen (which is great too btw). It's way underrated ! I hope there will be some interesting character development and backstories. |

| Holy shit, that was a close call. Good episode. |
 |
| Awesome episode. We are loving our Swindler girl and she really saved the day in this episode. Quick thinking and luck on her hand, she was extremely useful and got things done. Loved that synchronizing scene. Cliched but extremely tense and fun. Honestly, I'm loving this group of misfits. They somehow with their own quirks are gelling together with their abilities. |
 |
| This is really well made but perhaps lacks that little punch that sucks viewers in. Maybe we get that with more backstory, maybe not... still, well made. |
| Loved this episode. Swindler was so useful in this episode. She is no longer an ordinary person. XD |
 |
| Idk wtf is going on anymore, but i'm hyped asf for the next episode. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Watched this on a whim... I did not expect this show to be so fun to watch. |
| What a fun show, love it. |
| I still haven't moved past the stage of putting supper duper high school in front of everybody's names |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| They always succeed at the last moment, it's so tense xD great episode once again |
 |
| Man, there's not enough heist anime out there. And most of them turned out to be great: Lupin III, Baccano, Jormungand, Great Pretender, and probably a couple others I'm forgetting. And with a soft sci-fi setting, Akudama Drive is such a rare, unique show that I can't help but root for its success. And it's an original as well! 3 episodes in and so far, so good. Real glad I was a few days late to watch this one; only 2 more days till the next episode, so less waiting for me. 5/5, super fun episode. |
     |
| Hoodlum's jokes and lies weren't as funny as they were in the previous episode. Disappointing. Swindler pre-fixing "Mister" before each Akudama's "Name" is Kawaii and what I enjoyed about this episode. |
| Nice to see Ordinary Person getting into the team, she will probably become a pro Swindler. Her voice becomes strange sometimes. >_> |
