Episode 1 of Super Psychic Policeman Chojo was honestly a really fun premiere. 😂 The whole setup is simple, but Chojo and Ippongi already have great chemistry. He has ridiculous psychic abilities and could probably solve crimes in seconds, yet half the time he seems more interested in using them for completely useless things.
Ippongi was probably my favorite part of the episode though. She’s strong, straightforward, and reacts to Chojo’s nonsense exactly how I would expect a normal person to. Their dynamic feels like it’s going to carry the series.
The humor is definitely the kind that either clicks with you or doesn’t, but for me, the ridiculous psychic tricks, police station chaos, and random jokes worked pretty well. The animation also looked solid, especially during the more exaggerated comedy moments.
It’s not trying to be a serious police anime at all, and I think that’s exactly why it works. If the show keeps building on Chojo and Ippongi’s buddy-cop relationship, I can see this becoming a really easy weekly watch. 👮♂️⚡
