Oh god, Tilarna is wearing a school mizugi.
The people staring wasn't mocking her as much as someone who suggested that to her.
It was probably Kei.

Fanservice is strong in this one…

Yup.

Ep. 10
Re: State of Confusion [Naoki/Momo/Wingsy]
Oh, there was an interesting moment between 8:00 and 9:30
Re: Cop Craft
I'm still playing catch-up Ep. 6. So far I have to say it's 6/10. The world is good but not great. The dark tone is definitely a bonus. I generally like Kei and Tilarna, but I gotta say I don't love Tilarna's character design.
Honestly, I would give ti a 5, but I agree with Momogari, I really like the directness of the racism aspect.

Re: Cop Craft
I decided to watch it because range murata. I'm a bit disappointed. Range murata does scifi characters well but the triviality and the fanservice kinda killed his best effect.
It's merely ok.

Re: Cop Craft
Yeah, Tilarna is pure moe. And a source of fanservice.
For me Kei is a more interesting character.
But I think I enjoy it more than you two do. I'd say it's 7/10 or (probably not) 8/10. I suppose this might be a matter of personal preference, but I think there are the following strong points of it:
- Kei (I think he's a good character. He's positive, but not naive. It's difficult to balance these.)
- I like how they used traditional tropes of American police films/TV series, e.g. the shouting boss.
- The reverse isekai is done well. The way they introduce things from the other world is interesting and "realistic" (if I can use this word, ha ha). It doesn't feel dumb, which is an achievement in itself. (reverse isekai is not very common, I remember that Gate was pretty good at it as well, but I think Cop Craft does it better)
- The characters Kei works with are also ok, e.g. his ex. Issues with ex add realism. So there is a nice balance between non-realism of things from the other world and realism of work of the police. I think it's well balanced. The racism aspect and the politics also add to the realist part.
- The police work is not boring. I'm often bored by police films, but this one is not like that.

This. This is my sentiment exactly.
