Synopsis:
With the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games around the corner, there's also a worldwide sushi boom!
But what to do with all the bastardized sushi out there?
The Japanese government's urgent response is to team up with other ruling powers around the world to establish the World Food-culture Conservation Organization (WFCO) to protect and promote authentic local cuisine. And so the WFCO deploys its 9th Division to oversee Japanese cuisine abroad. The 9th Division, a.k.a. Sushi Police, is notorious for their aggressive conduct and they hassle anyone serving unauthentic Japanese food in the U.S., Russia, France, China, etc. They will resort to any means necessary to eliminate bad sushi. Soon they are despised by restaurant proprietors around the world. (Source: MAL)
Review:
Sushi police can only be described as a mistake?
Why because it shows how you take any interesting premise and then butcher it over and over again until nothing is left but a poor excuse for a short television series.
The premise being that the world has taken a great interest in Japanese sushi, deciding to take it into their own cultures and make it their own, unfortunately though the sushi police are quick to find them out for breaking away from traditional Japanese sushi and subsequently shut down the restaurant they investigate and shoot everyone with wasbi guns; sounds simple and funny right. The show would have been fine if it was just this, but instead KOO-KI studio decided it would be best to add a story into the show and over complicate it turning it into a very cheesy, boring and cringy series, full of attempted character development, terrible sushi related puns/jokes and rushed pacing that is all over the place; that ultimately ends on a poor ending that doesn't even end probably nor satisfactory.
Though one of its saving graces is its character design, in particular the main characters, who look like very typical Japanese even to a stereotypical degree which I found made them memorable in their own way; which I felt lacking from the rest of the cast who while looking unique where easily forgettable, though none of their personalities I found memorable being easily described as boring. The art itself however was a nice change, having a very quirky style that made it less totureless to watch, which cannot be said for the animation; because this was 3D animation, not a very popular style in anime viewers eyes, though I did find it okay, maybe just about decent but not any better.

Finally on a side note the soundtrack was nothing to get up
in arms about, it was decent at best, with opening following a similar suit and
the ending song being only a little better but not by much.
In conclusion, don’t watch this. It’s not worth it, there are better things out there you can watch.
