I know it's too soon to call it "anime of the year", as there is always a good chance there will be something better later on. I put a question mark in the title to reflect this- I don't consider this "anime of the year" as the year isn't up yet.
As far as the rapper bros go, my problem is the fact that they, as recurring side characters, were never given a reason or motivation to change sides. They just changed sides for the convenience of the plot and "shock value". There was little to no warning, and they weren't developed enough as characters to deserve such random changes in motivation...up till that point, they seemed somewhat on Miki's side, relatively calm, and ready to help out. Then, BOOM, one of them tips off the local mob, and another joins them with a manic grin and proceeds to kill all his former friends with zero hesitation.
Kind of unrealistic and out of the blue, don't you think?
