Started this a few days ago, I think I'm starting EP3.

I'm half Japanese and grew up speaking Japanese at home and stayed in Japan for two summers, the last one working in my aunt's ramen restaurant.

That said, I'm into it but it needs to pick up a bit. I think the show so far is doing a good job to flesh out the typical low key racist vibe I remember in Japan and the strong adherence to pecking order within organizations. It also does a good job of depicting Japanese sexism. The Yakuza characters are a bit cliche (tats, insolent choice of words and delivery/tone).

So all in all I think they did a pretty good job of capturing how the Japanese were around that time.
