Police in a Pod
| Thanks to media desperately cherrypicking cases of police behaving badly, police reputation overall is in the gutter. "F the police!" position is socially acceptable, so obviously this show is going to take a hit as well, especially since police is not cartoonishly evil here. |

Yeah like this article which basically assumes that all police systems are inherently negative. https://www.animefeminist.com/police-in-a-pod-episode-1/ MAYBE this show will lean too much into propaganda but it doesn't look that way to me and I hope not. "Anime feminist" I expect nothing less from that site. And definetely nothing more. It's beyond obvious, that author already had forged opinion before she even watched the show, because she hates police, so anything putting police in good light is a HUGE no-no. It screams confirmation bias. |

| ACAB and the second the world isn't in black and white polarised thinking, they go crazy. Ya love to see it. Even more confirmation police are just punching bags. They're used to it, I doubt they take negative things people say about them personally when the insults themselves come from offenders in the first place. Those people are pretty shallow-minded. Most criminals will play the victim, and these people suck it up and take it at face value. |

| It aint Brooklyn Nine-Nine-like probably? Idk. |
| I love it, out of what I've watched this season its definitely one of the better shows |

Anyone who forms their opinions based on whay those idiots have to say, doesn't need to be watching anime to begin with |
| I don't think it's unappealing, it just isn't that appealing. It's a bit different looking than other slice of life shows and I think people would rather play it safe and watch other seasonals. |

valkyrineX20 said: The show is amazing,but the sheer amount of sexism in it both Male and female is a lot.....I think that's why people find it unappealing...episode 2 proves it That's sexism of the characters, not sexism of the story or the author, director, etc. I don't see why something like sexism would be less appealing to depict than assault or murder, which is highly prevalent in series with the highest scores... |
valkyrineX20 said: there is a lot of assault in the show.....personally I don't care....but it seems a lot of people have a range of problems with the show People are behaving in a very petty fashion if they're poorly rating a series (nevermind it being an ongoing series two episodes in - that's another issue since I don't rate anything until completion but know people act differently on this) because of the actions of its characters. I just don't get why people can't separate the depiction of the words or actions of its characters to somehow being something the series is endorsing or celebrating. It's like saying a show about serial killers is endorsing serial killing and if you oppose serial killers, you should lower its rating. It seems like a very illogical and basic emotional reaction with no thought behind it and is a real shame for the artistic creators of the series. |
| MAL shows western rating. I don't give too much attention to western preference. |
MonkeyDnatsu said: People are not overlooking the show. The show is very boring, tries very hard to be funny (though a few parts are kinda funny) or people are just not interested in it. Then there are influences from content creator and no one is talking about it. The characters themselves are not even interesting either, the show isn't very appealing or unappealing. When I initially watched episode 1, it wasnt funny at all but I kept watching. Eventually the humour grew on me and some things started being funny. That being said, episode 2 got quite serious. I haven't read the source materially either but if the issues gets more and more serious my rating for the anime might increase. That being said, people are talking about Black Live Matter and sexism. It's not that serious, it's a japanese cartoon first and foremost, this wasn't the intention and I'm not sure what people perception of the show is. To me it's another generic show, only difference is that it doesn't try to be something it's not. Now in terms of rating, people rate anime for different things on this site and the characters in a show can have a lot of influence or impact on how good or bad a show is. For example, people didn't like Tokyo Revengers because of Takimichi or Mushouku Tensei because of Rudeus so automatically they gave it a lower score. Some people learnt to seperate real life from fiction and I think that's for the best. Pretty much this. It's just a very bland show that misses a lot in the humour department. I'm mildly disappointed because I thought the premise and artstyle at least stood out, but there otherwise isn't a lot to write home about with Hakozume |

| Obviously burgerland's sjw, antifa and commies hate police as a whole. Jpl79 said: Id say it's the studio madhouse use to make amazing shows like death parade, black lagoon, a place further then the universe, and rainbow. Then they took a hiatus due to company restructuring and the Pandemic and now their shows are just meh Their shows were mostly meh for many years now. |
 |
| Police bad so this anime automatically copaganda and bad is pretty much the mentality of some people. But even if you don't care about that aspect, the anime just overall feels cheap so that doesn't help too. |
 |
| I think most of them (viewers) are thinking that this is average seasonal garbage. Story sucks, characters sucks, animation sucks compared with Aot, Ds, Vanitas and other great shows.. But it's good, I'm really enjoying it |
Everything is Garbage except LoGH |
| Aside from the usual blm and sjw nonsense going around uncontrollably... Could this show be struggling because it's trying to succeed under the shadow of an established police anime You're Under Arrest? It's unavoidable to make comparisons quite frankly. |

| The first episode was a rather mundane low key affair that whilst not bad definitely had a empty taxi feeling to it that could leave people wondering what this anime represents. If it was more action packed and had the usual crazy police story (like Dominion Tank Police) which was supported with fanservice then I would expect Police in a Pod to score higher. As it is the story is not setting any fireworks alight and this being an unusual genre to boot it just won't attract as many eyeballs. I also think the themes of domestic violence possible rape and female discrimination introduced in episode two will not enamour plenty of fans and I could even see some even downrating for being too woke. |
| I know the police and cops are not like this in real life, specially here in Argentina, but this is fiction, it's an enjoyable show |
| y'all should watch haibane renmei |
