The Winter 2022 Preview Guide

Despite its very familiar trappings, this variation on “reincarnated into a video game” predates the isekai craze by a few years in novel form, so technically speaking it can't be said to be rehashing the tropes and any feelings of familiarity are because they've become so ubiquitous in recent years.

sexual orientation, race, gender, or ethnicity

I especially wanted to pound my head into the wall at how Mari somehow managed to get her foot caught under the track, and why she couldn't get free, but Shuta was able to just scoop her up in the nick of time (and free the dog!) like she was never wedged, without breaking her ankle or something. That whole thing was just too stupid to bear.

Police in a Pod was already done years ago-and vastly superior, the show was called "You're Under Arrest". Remember that?

My favorite thing about the episode would have to be the fact that neither Fuji nor Kawai are wearing sexualized police uniforms. Both women are dressed like real officers, with pants, the assorted weapons and gear on their belts, and flat shoes

Surprised by the Police in the Pod hate. Its probably the single most realistic depiction of law enforcement I've ever seen. 90 percent of the job is writting tickets you really dont care about while people telling you to F-off

Miko Yasu, the mangaka for the series, was a long time police officer before settling down to make manga. She based the series on her real life experiences as a police woman so that's why it feels more grounded compared to other police anime.

She wanted to help educate people on what policing is like beyond the typical overexaggerated police procedurals and dramas on television and in movies which is where part of the praise for the series comes from.

the leadale flavour of isekai is more attractive to slice.of life fans than to isekai fans, just saying. also, wasn't she supposed to be an elf? i cant see her ears in the review captions.

Do sexualized female police uniforms exist outside of "naughty cosplay" (something one might buy from Ayame Sohma)?

No mention of the "cute girls play golf" video, Sorairo Utility. Obviously the creative team for this show never played golf in their lives since our trio of high-school girls begin by teeing off on a 448-yard par four. Most amateur men don't play at distances like these; for women 350 yards is more common. Then there's the problem that the handicap numbers on the holes go up on the harder ones not down as they actually do.

The newcomer plays every shot with a "metal" club. As a beginner she should be using an easier-to-hit club like a seven-iron all the time, and spend a lot of time at the range.

Oh, and our trio plays two full rounds in a cart, which in Japan could easily cost a thousand dollars or more. Hope one of their daddies is a club member!
