Yeah, this seems like the most decent show airing on Wednesdays this season.

Funny, and both leads are rather likeable.

I decided to give this a watch because why not, new anime, might as well and I surprisingly enjoyed it a lot more than I expected.

Fuji's dark mode with all that language is rather funny, I kinda understand how she feels though.

It's a thankless job a times, a lot of abuse for just doing their job.

I'm liking Mai being voiced by Wakayama Shion.
The character contrast with her previous role as Takt Op's Cosette is pretty funny.

The start of the episode was kind of bad with all the information jumping around without a connected interesting thread, later on we got some decent humour though. I don't really like how the pieces fit, seems awfully forced even taking into account its parodies aspects. Hope that the characters grow into me so I can get more fun later on, but I dont buy it yet

they are like most of the policewomen caught was very rude, can we have a civilian that is not rude? lolz
it just shows that the police is the worse nightmare civilians encounter just because you didn't follow some big deal rule or violation!
4/5.

I didn’t know what to expect, but I found myself really liking it. Great first episode, both the main girls are cute, and the dynamic they have so far is really good, and I also really like the art style. There was some nice comedy in there like with Fuji accidentally becomes a pamphlet girl, and the dad compares her to a pornstar lol. Definitely looking forward to more of this show, I definitely didn’t know I’d like a cop SoL this much.

Also the OP and ED are both great.

The first episode was trash ngl but looking forward to the next, I mean we already know what's going to happen. Madhouse is dead so I don't have any good expectations. Either it would be absolute garbage or it would be pure average in this season

this is a female version of lethal weapon Fuji is Riggs and Kawai is Murtaugh. the scene at the school was funny especial Kawai freezing at the girl question and Fuji losing it over copying the recruitment pamphlet and the ending with Kawai dad was funny and sad

Watched this on Muse Asia because my wifi is currently ass and can't even load animix so I can't watch Orient :c but anyways the OP is so catchy and it sounds like a remastered version of a familiar song that I've heard :o Interesting how it starts from Mai want to resign being a police officer but Fuji has appeared to maybe restrain her from moving to her "second life" plus their relationship is so sweet and carefree, also I realized Fuji is played by Mikasa's VA which is why she sounds like a gorgeous ladylike person.

Things gets interesting when Fuji and Mai saw two boys running away from a guy who fell and at first I thought that the boy did something wrong to the guy who fell but the fault is such a twist where the guy who fell was the one who is responsible with it thanks to Fuji's very unusual side personality of hers :O While Fuji is investigating the guy in the patrol room, she really just insult about police women taking care of children's xD Wait don't tell me this is some yuri because I'm hinting Fuji and Mai's relationship to be seen flirty xD

LMFAO Yamada's reaction when seeing Mai bowing to the guy is so hilarious xD HASHAHAHAH please Mai is just desperately wanting to leave the job while Fuji is insulting the guy who insulted them both all over until saying explicit stuff xD It's sad hearing Mai's backstory about her drunk father dealing with a car incident and begs her for a stable income which is the reason why she's enrolling as a police woman. Both Mai and Fuji were able to manage the school and Fuji is like an absolute mother to act so diligent to her daughter and Mai telling a story about the burglar to the kids this is too sweet ;) I like how the story will benefit others to not follow what the burglar has done and makes the environment a lot more friendly ^u^ Also drunk dad invites both Mai and Fuji to the house and now Mai takes the lead of being verbal to her father xD Somehow I started to notice about the interchanging personality between these two characters are very similar but charisma and personality is universally different.

Overall for a first episode is really good but I'm just expecting more hilarious Fuji saying explicit stuff because I need to analyse what was the "WORD" she was saying that were censored :c Anyways though art is very old style and I quite like it though I expect better animation next episode and ED is so good expected by nonoc because #Re:zero OST is the best :3

Excellent episode.

The episode was very funny, which was what I was expecting, but I was impressed with how the show ended on a more serious note about why police write tickets. A really nice way to tie the entire episode's theme together.

The animation was good and VAs fit the characters. Hoping this one stays good for the entire season.

As the author of the original comics was a police officer and made the comics for introducing the life of police officers to the public, the contents should have some reality in it. Although there are some quite serious arcs in the series, I'm not sure whether they will be introduced in this show of this season.

By the way, the OP is very awkward and I'm disappointed with it.

Definitely like this a lot already and the dynamic between Fuji and Kawai is great. It has the same vibes as Uramichi Oniisan, so I hope it stays fresh like Uramichi Oniisan did throughout it's run. Looking forward to the next episode.

I'm going to fall in love with this anime, I like the way how Fuji-san talked in front of the public and when she talked alone that makes me laugh hahaha. I like Kawai-san soooooooo much, she's cute. But I felt surprised in the first episode, two police girls talked very friendly with a thief. So it made the thief look kind hahaha

I had this in my PTW, but after seeing the relatively low score (under 7) I was debating whether to watch the first episode. I did though, and it is not that bad after all. Women as police officers is already a good thing, and the way the characters are, how they act, what they really think while doing their job is good. The dark thoughts while showing a happy face on the surface, I can relate so much. muhahaha. So, yes, I will keep on watching.

I gotta say, it's weird that Madhouse is doing this type of show. I never thought it'd be in their ballpark, but anime studios nowadays will take anything they're given. I'd expect maybe a studio like TMS Entertainment to pick this up, tbh.


They are like doing 1 serious and 1 silly comedy each year, so yea.

Nice, i got to see the policewoman officer in anime medium! What a good day i have on this new year.

Anyway, the dynamic between two heroine seems fun enough to me. Unboxing and punching bag. Kek, nice title, bruh. But seriously, never thought before patrolling police officer on the japan got a harsh treatment from the civilian. Tax parasites. Lmao. Not to mention her dad called her superior like a porn star already from the first sight. Based dad, but really deserved a cuff on his neck xd.

I can see this being a fun watch, not to mention Madhouse handling is also the one behind, so no way i am missing this on my watch list. Also, really looking forward to see HanaKana's character appear...

It wasn't as bad as I expected and pretty fun to watch. The characters have some pretty strong opinions on their job and "clients", especially Fuji-san, which is probably relatable for any person who has to deal with people in some way.

A really enjoyable episode. Going to continue with this easily.
I like the fact that at the end they'll go after the one they stopped. Like real cops do.
There's honestly no point in arguing again cops in real life either, since you know you did something wrong if they stop you.

Madhouse has done some good stuff like sonny boy or takt (visually, not story wise obviously), but this anime is not at all their priority, so yea, dont expect much movement on it

True, its just their small project with much limited production. But one good thing is they still make animes. Since they will celebrate 50th Anniversary this year, they will possibly announce some big projects coming.

Yes another anime that I can chill and watch. It was a nice start, it kinda reminded me of Nami yo Kiitekure even tho the story is completely different, both of them has the similar vibes.

It's just the first episode but I already kinda ship them XD
We got many BL recently but after Adachi to Shimamura we haven't got any decent GL since then.

So, it's about police. I wonder if this will be able to get us interested in joining the police as well XD

It's my first time seeing Ishikawa Yui's character curse so much like that XD. It seems so odd yet so interesting.

The other mc is ok. She kinda sounds unenthusiastic to me (or I guess it's intentional cuz of the pressure of the job) so it'll take some time for me to get use to her voice.

I like the way they're showing the police life. I guess I can now understand why they charge so much money from us civilians XD
If you're a commoner you'll curse the police and if you're a police you'll curse those commoners XD

I like both the OP and ED.

Started off very abruptly with very poor direction, but found it’s groove as it went along. There’s some potential here, but that art and animation is noticeably cheap. Also, the direction of the OP is terrible. It looked like they had no idea what to do for it visually.

The female police officers in Japan, the regular ones you see in the streets ... they always struck me like a cheerleaders, you know a pretty faces in pretty dresses to make you feel happy lmao.


That's hilarious! That would mean they're mostly pretty right?

First episode was good. The humor can be pretty funny and it's offbeat compared to the usual anime humor. Although I think the jokes might land better for me if there was a dub. What is up with the sub 7 rating already though? Sheesh it's only the first episode and it's already funnier than most anime.

Weird how down people are on this show after a pretty good first showing. The characters are fun and quirky without being precious or obnoxious so far, but "so far" is the operative word. Hopefully it stays at this level or gets better, either way would be fine, but I like it so far.
