I love the fact that you hear the two main characters speaking fluent Japanese throughout the series too. It gives it that level of depth, that extra little bit authenticity and heck, encourages you to put away your phone for a bit.

The Age (Australia)
Like Jake, the series appears enamoured of the country and its customs at the same time as it recognises its flaws, the ingrained brutality, misogyny and prejudices.

One of the most unexpected strengths of this show is how well it portrays male friendship, with something oddly sweet sometimes bubbling up between Adelstein and Sata, two young men rising up in very different professions.
