Here’s what I thought about the first episode:

1) Ohno Satoshi is so good! His character is enclosed in a cloud of mystery and really attracts attention despite Toma’s good-lookingness.

2) Toma is always running. In the opening theme, in the first shot of him chasing a suspect, in almost every scene with him in it. Multiply that by the number of takes he would have to do for each scene and the number of scenes he has in each episode, I think Ikuta Toma is probably in his best shape right now.

3) I didn’t recognize the girl with the supernatural skills but her acting seemed decent.

4) Why does Ohno’s character have more pictures of Ikuta Toma than the average Toma fan? Check out the last picture of his darkroom in the screencaps.

Can’t wait for episode 2!
