Super Crooks is an adaptation of the comic by the same name created by Mark Millar and Leinil Francis Yu set in the same universe as that of Jupiter's Legacy. Directed by the director of Carole and Tuesday and animated by Bones studio, this anime has a similar kind of Animation Style and is beautiful and fluid to look at.
The story follows a guy named Johnny Bolt, who's a crook and teams up with a gang to do their last and biggest job of their life. It has smart and amazingly done character development, not like it has very rich development but it strikes that perfect balance of what we need to know about the characters and don't waste time on what doesn't help the story. Characters stay with you till the end and take you into their world.
Action Scenes are done pretty well as well. The chase sequences are especially breathtaking. They do have a good amount of weight behind them. The show also has nudity and romantic scenes, it will feel more like a western superhero show made in anime form, which I personally really liked.
But the best part of it is that it is perfectly paced and the premise is pretty intelligent. The twist and turns are really good and also the witty humor is commendable. The writing has to be appreciated for that.
Also the Voice Acting in English Dub is very good and all the voices of VAs suit their respective characters.
Music is wonderful as well, especially the opening ALPHA by Towa Tei is something that deserves a special mention.
It makes me wish to also have Jupiter's Legacy a similar adaptation to this.
All in all, it is an amazing adaptation of its source material which in itself is incredible. The show is like a mixture of Great Pretender and Invincible and the final product is something that you can marvel at.
A show that I can whole heartedly recommend and gets a rating of Andy-certified Awesome.
