Here Come the Fuzz



 Hey, all! Just a short entry today, since the subject is a short anime that only just started running.

I find myself only rarely watching the handful of bite-sized anime that inevitably airs alongside “proper” shows. Very seldom does any short live long in the collective memory, so I figure why spend the extra three to seven minutes per week when I'm watching too much already? Well, this season I'm glad I went out on a limb. The world must know of Sushi Police.



As the 2020 Olympics approach, Japanese cuisine rises in popularity worldwide, particularly sushi. But with that push in popularity comes a rash of restaurants serving subpar sushi. That's where the Sushi Police comes in. Are you using inauthentic ingredients, or experimenting with sushi to create unconventional new flavors? Enjoy watching your restaurant burn, asshole.



Most of the humor comes from the leader, Honda, and how seriously he takes his . . . very odd job. It's also funny how intolerant our “heroes” are towards people who don't mean any harm. Throw in a little slapstick violence and racial insensitivity, and you have Sushi Police in a nutshell. There's a high volume of laughs for just a three minute runtime, so dig right in while it's still fresh.
