| Finally, police dogs are getting some love in this show. I'm surprised it even took this long for them to make more relevant appearances. I also kinda like Mai and Seiji's character chemistry in this show. Feels rather underrated imo. |
 |
| Kawai did a lot of running this episode shame she didn't manage to catch that guy tho, and it's also a shame she could not keep up with the dog. As for the dog wouldn't they normally just use a long line or something like that trying to keep up with a dog is really hard if not impossible letting it run freely like that. |
| That certainly was a .. unique way of how to use a police search dog, that i've seen, why not just keep it on a leash and then follow after it, while you slowly keep the leash a bit loose, as many other police people do ... .. . Anyway, the old man was found good and well. |
 |
| Yet another interesting episode. It was really cool to see that police dog. :) I'm glad the old man was found. |
 |
| Sure sometimes I forget how hard it must be for the police to search for a lost person, poor Kawai though she had a tough time with the dog and same with chasing that punk thug xD |
 |
| Ooh, finally the K9 get their chance to be featured in the case of a missing person. As expected, the police and other people related are mobilized for cases like these, and like it or not, police dogs can be both a blessing and curse, and extra care must be taken. Respect the Dog-sama. It's not easy tracking down a missing person, much so when it involves the mountainous terrain. But even more humourous is how normal countryside folk can unrelentingly break the traffc rules unknowingly, that once you see it, you can't unsee it. I feel bad for Kawai having to be subjected to rough conditions, even down to not letting them have toilet business. Thank god the missing grandpa is found, and case closed. Don't sell the police force short, and Dog-sama is just doing its work, salute Dog-sama. Quitting the police force ain't easy, and that's the case for Todo for their last duty being traffic control for a marathon while the Trafic Control Division holds priority. Thank god for a search-and-arrest case, which Kawai chooses to take it upon herself to get out of this mundane job. Welp, the modern times attract attention for all the wrong reasons of recording a chase stunt between police and thief, nothing seems to be working for Kawai. A good send-off for Todo working on the motorcycle, and what a way to go out smoothly. Kawai really worked hard this episode, and she should be commended for that. |
 |
| This was a pretty boring episode as a whole, probably the weakest for me so far. |
| This was a very intense episode for Kawai. Being a police officer can be a physically taxing profession xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| funny episode... I like Fuji and Yamada pretending they didn't saw all illegal stuff, lol Kawai chasing the suspect too... poor girl, just don't wanted to deal with the traffic light |
| Man!! This anime really opens your eyes and expands your thinking. It is direct, practical, and I LOVE IT! Available on Muse Asia. An elderly villager is lost in the woods and a search party consisting of the Police, the Firefighters, local volunteers, and others have been deployed. Seeing a female police officer in the team, the two firefighters are surprised and ask her about it. Now normally you might think that the lady is gonna get mad and say stuff like "I can take care of myself. What if I'm a woman?". But NO. She actually appreciates that the firefighting department is considerate. She also gets annoyed at her male coworker who thinks that the firefighting guys are sexist or something. Then she concludes that the police are exploitative and send women to dangerous jobs without consideration. WOW what an eye opener. |

| That was a really "simple" yet nice dream and he did his best to accomplish it, poor Kawai had to run throughout the whole episode but at the end of the day what really matters is that the dog got to have some fun. Aversa said: Kawai did a lot of running this episode shame she didn't manage to catch that guy tho, and it's also a shame she could not keep up with the dog. As for the dog wouldn't they normally just use a long line or something like that trying to keep up with a dog is really hard if not impossible letting it run freely like that. I imagine it depends on the terrain, they were inside of a pretty thick mountain so there are too many slopes, bushes and etc. where it would be more trouble than worth. |
| For me this was the best episode so far - Seiko and Takeshi doing some "see no evil, hear no evil" in order to focus on the main more important task, Mai making some good points why her job sucks. "a shame she could not keep up with the dog" - yeah, try to keep up with a German Shepherd. |

| Well that was a bit unfortunate for Kawai, first keeping up with that dog and then that suspect, both of which taking their full toll on her stamina. So can't really blame her if she again starts thinking of quitting this profession. |
 |
| Kawai running as hard as she can but still couldn't catch the guy. What a shame. Fairly good episode. |

| Very good episode, really enjoyed the first half of searching for the missing old man, it was hilarious watching Kawai chase that dog, I guess they really do just have to chase the dog until it finds something lol, and Fuji and Yamada ignoring crimes was funny too, not to mention the “pee to your heart’s content” lmao. The 2nd half wasn’t short of laughs either, Kawai having to run for her life again as people cheer her on to chase down a guy that she didn’t even need to chase lol. I really loved this episode, and Kawai was cute sleeping at the end too, definitely one of my best girls this season. |
| Kawai regularly sobs and whines but at this point it's clear that she's indeed physically and mentally tougher than she think she is. |
| A bit of a snoozer episode if I'm being real. I do like the comment though that more people end up getting lost when you send out huge search parties for one person. Also the officer or detective forgetting how traffic laws work was funny |

| Poor Kawai had it rough in this episode. Trying to keep up with a German shepherd is already tough, but to do so within the mountains, where you're dealing with constant slopes to run up as well as down, along with parts that are slippery, has to be hell for her. I don't really blame her for crying and throwing an amusing hissy fit over it. XD Another funny moment was with Fuji and Yamada, who were deliberately ignoring all of the fly-tipping within the area that they were walking through during their search for the missing old man. The second half of the episode was business as usual for Kawai, as she ended up chasing after a crook who she didn't really need to go after, but it was nice to see the residents help her with directions and were cheering her on. Sadly it was not meant to be for her, but she did give it her all. Her sleeping pose at the end of the episode was very cute, though. =3 |
| I fucking died when dog-sama looped. Pretty good and hilarious episode! I feel bad for Kawai, she was running for the whole fucking episode lmao. Kawai chasing that hooligan and the people just recording and doing nothing was hilarious because of her inner monologue, but damn that's real as fuck. Being Kawai is pain. With how this is based on the author's real life experiences, I assume the piss troubles are a real thing, damn. At least, besides the Kawai pain, we got some wholesomeness with Fuji and Seiji's friend, that was really nice. |
 |
| I am enjoying this show so much, and the sgt is awesome. I would be curious to know how many policemen/women can relate to this, and what the "official" police viewpoint on it is. Keep it up Dog-sama! |
| May the Uguu be with you. |
| Great episode! An 81 year old man went missing and guided by Dog Sama, Kawai and Minamoto had to chase after its random running xD. Kawai ended up crying as she needed to pee and have water lol. After that, she ended up chasing a late teens delinquent who rode a motorcycle without a license thinking it could perhaps be a very big case! She got inspired by the kids telling her where the man went and...tripped. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Why the low score? This series is hilarious! The sarcastic humour reminds me somewhat to Uramichi Oniisan, I loved that show. |
 |
| Poor Kawai had spent most of the time running in this episode. She needs work on building up her stamina. Taking a police dog of the leash was kind of strange to me because most police dogs are kept on leashes to prevent them from running all over the place as dogs can be easily distracted by the smallest things. Kawai actually ran her own personal marathon chasing after a suspect and everybody was cheering her on and taking pictures of her. |
 |
| Lacking sleep, but forced to join the search party at the mountain in the morning must be hard enough, not to mention they must obey dog-sama. Too bad for Kawai that lacking the knowledge behind and ofc she must endure those mountain excercises as long as she can, until some part of the body couldn't manage to keep it up xd. Fuji and the red-haired dude slacking off the search session and just wandering around randomly, i can't help but tickle with those part. Fortunately, there's nothing bad with the missing old man, and the folks really not helping much this time. At least Kawai and the other had a nice excursion there! Second part, where Kawai should've taken more lesson to be a temporary trafic control officer for the marathon event, but ended up having her another excercisement during the pursue against those hoodlum. Idk if its a bad luck or purely a trial for her to be more dedicated to the job xd. But, stay strong and keep it up, Kawai! |

| why does it seem that everyone is taking this show so seriously when it is clearly a sarcastic comedy? jesus americans are way too obsessed with police forces. Imo this was so far the best episode. Comedy was on point and Kawai is one of my favorite if not my favorite character of this season. Her VA really makes her sound as if she truly hated her job (which again is the point of her character). Character chemistry is great as always and we even got a little bit of wholesomeness in the end. Loved it 5/5. |
| inu-sama !!!! kawai deserved that treat at the end there, she's worked hard this ep |
| Another nice episode. Another thing I appreciate about the relaxed feeling of this series is that it feels like anything can happen - even a surprise tense situation like an alert put out for a suspect and a resulting chase at the drop of a hat. But also that even in the more ostensibly dire and serious situations, it's still pretty easygoing and "chill". Feels like a real crew of veterans used to the day-in, day-out goings on of their job and prepared to face any situation, no matter how scary or stupid. Plus a newbie of course, in the form of Kawai. Considering the limitless variety of public nonsense and stupidity or just random happenings from petty theft or vandalism to traffic incidents to missing persons to weather-related chaos, there seems like no shortage of situations they can place them in. It does feel like the mangaka just writing about her day to day experience on the job with some added flair and poetic license by writing in what she may have been thinking or the other people around her may have been thinking when dealing with this line of work. I don't know if anyone else here has seen this other series, but Kawai in some ways also reminds me of Red Blood Cell from Hataraku Saibou. Maybe due to being also a still somewhat inept newbie thrown into the frying pan way over her head and a female with short hair. But Kawai's a little more snarky and openly cynical and defiant. |

| Why would you release the police dog like that? Just keep the leash loose. Now you made poor Kawai-chan cry. As for the second half, it was indeed funny but in all honesty, it was Kawai's fault for not using the radio to ask for the crook's offense in the first place. |
| "Go on, pee to your hearts content" "Daddy. Justice and pride had absolutely nothing to do with it when your daughter couldn't help herself from falling in the line of duty" I laughed some many times on this episode, this has turned out to be a very entertaining series. Perhaps this anime will be the AOTS to me, though there are still many episodesleft in the season to be sure. |
夏草や 兵どもが 夢の跡  |
| An absolutely hilarious episode. Kawai is probably my favorite character in the show, she’s really cute and her inner monologue always makes me laugh. The best bits were the dog-sama and Kawai chasing the criminal for sure. |
 |
| Alright a very random episode which involves A LOT of running, Kawaii just can't catch a break if you know what I mean. |
 |
| Probably my favorite episode so far. Kawai chasing the dog and breaking down + her chasing the criminal and getting supported bythe citizens were both great segments. The heartfelt scenes don’t really hit, but the comedy does a good amount of the time. |
| The dog chase was hilarious. Poor Mai thou, she tripped over, was thirsty and also needed to pee on top of that. The second half with the chase was also hilarious. Once again it just wasn't the day for Mai. |
 |
| When I saw the details in this episode like the inside of a traffic signal box, I was very impressed. My understanding is the author was actually an officer in a koban prior to getting published. |
| I could feel the awkwardness in the "it's not what it looks like" moment. "How do traffic laws work again?" lmao |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Well, this sure was a funny episode. Kawai is still learning. Inu-sama is too fast for her. LOL. And, Gambare, Todo-chan. |
 |
| Minemoto-sama > Dog-sama, less of a hassle to follow and guaranteed result. Seeing how done they are with certain parts of their work (ignoring various things on the mountain) certainly feels relatable. |
 |
| Kawai's stamina got tested on this episode. The second part was very relatable tho. lol. Can understand the frustrations of working hard but still not enough. |
