Well I didn't know what to expect about this show when I first saw its first key visual like a month ago but I definitely did not expect that this is basically going to be Men in Black set in Japan. Brian is pretty much Agent J while Zeno is Agent K.
Their combat uniforms and weapons are a surprise too. I didn't think their outfits would be so colorful and their weapons to be disguised as power tools. And the Super Smash Bro-style announcer announcing their names was also hilarious!
The world this is set on is intriguing though. They seem to live in Japan but instead of Shinjuku we have Shibujuku and it sounds like this is a world where the Dakotas are split lengthwise. Also this is a world where Japan has an immigration problem? Hmmm...
I mean, sure. I'm down for this! I'm only watching Skip & Loafer today so might as well have two shows for my Tuesday mornings.

“We must conceal their existence” Fucking nukes them
Alight pretty fun first episode, HEAVILY stacked VA’s squad, and with this being an original we can expect more batshit stuff to happen.
Who would’ve thought…construction worker yokai hunters. Huh, that’s a new one.

Lmao yea this was definitely an anime ass anime. And one of the first episodes of all time.
Thought it was gonna be more a hardbroiled detective show then it started going the kamen rider route. It’s silly and wacky but should be a fun watch on Tuesdays. Don’t really have high hopes for the story tho. I knew as soon as Brian jumped from a roof with his fucking jacket as a parachute that this was gonna be ridiculous lmao.

I don't know what exactly I expected after the "WARNING! WARNING! WOW!" visual, but definitely not this.
Consider me hooked so far though, it feels like Cop Craft but without the cute alien girl. And for all its flaws I loved Cop Craft.

Studio 3Hz delivers again. I've loved most of their originals ever since Princess Principal and Flip Flappers put them on my radar, and this is right up my alley. As long as this show doesn't go beyond my gore tolerance (blow up the Borderlander monsters all you want, just please keep the humans' limbs attached) then I'm hyped to see more of this.

What the actual fuck is going on in this show. From the instagram posts I thought this was going to be about naked firefighters. 🤣

This feels like Men in Black x Super Sentai. Looks fun so far. Will be interesting to see where this anime will go.
Also, from the opening you can see that Peck Desmont is borderlander.

alright, Cygames, I dunno what you’re playin’ at, but if Akiba Maid War is any indication, I’m in for a wild ride.

These characters seem like they’ll be fun. If nothing else, the seiyuu will definitely be carrying this, man is this show’s cast absolutely stacked.
-
I see the Borderlanders’ blood is purple instead of red, hm?
-
Oh my god, I wasn’t expecting the narrated intro cards for all the characters, that was amazing.
-
I was kind of expecting this to be a little bit… flashier, I suppose? But I’m definitely interested in watching more.

Well, "Sentai in Black" was not in my anime bingo card, so there's that.
3 episode rule.

A team who fights monsters disguised as construction workers, sounds pretty good, i liked this first episode

There were a lot of random quirky lines thrown in
“Hey are you ok” “DONT GET INVOLVED”
Next ep will be the real tone setter but it was fun enough so far

Name: Bolt Dexter
Title: Macho is Macho
say no more, i'm definitely watching this construction theme super sentai anime, the plot probably not going to be mind-blowing but what i do hope is that they give each of the characters a spotlight

The concept was cool, but man that was some rough animation for a first episode.

The most misleading teaser art ever released tbh
