BEGINNERS!

ビギナーズ!   비기너스 !   初學者!

70 min x 1 ep / 60 min x 9 eps|10 episodes

A police academy dormitory for young cadets in training means 10 months of constant surveillance, harsh abuse by drill sergeants, no off campus R&R, definitely no cell phones and absolutely no romance! It is a practically unthinkable setting in contemporary Japan. In this hellish boot camp, the only moral support the young cadets have comes from each other… or does it? Protagonists Teppei, Danji, Hiro belong to the Class S, which happens to be filled with the lowest achievers and last-minute replacements. The bar is set high for Teppei and his band of “underachievers,” but they’re determined to prove themselves worthy, or die trying.
