Beginners! Episode 1
Freedom, youth, love... nothing like that! Police school is hell!
Shimura Teppei and his friend Yuichi made a pact as children to become police officers. Now a young man, Shimura attempts to enter the police academy. On the day he is to enter, hijinks ensue and he ends up being late. However, a female officer sends him to the "S" class, where he finds his friend Yuichi. Later, they find that the "S" class stands for "substitute" -- that is, the class for those who didn't pass parts of the exam. Yuichi struggles and eventually leaves.

Beginners! Episode 1 Reactions
Taipi shines here already. His character is very hilarious, even from the outset when he sings a song while riding a motorcycle.
Overall, this episode was good. We are introduced to the characters as well as informed about why this class is "special". I can't wait to see where this goes.
