Episode Description:
It has been 3 months and counting since arriving at his wife's family home in Tokyo. Bryan is struggling with the cultural norm of allowing his 6-year-old daughter Alice to walk to school by herself, but his wife Itsuki brushes his protests away because “Japan is so safe!” Expecting Tokyo to be full of high-tech robots, Bryan is a little disappointed with the calm reality but, as he takes to the streets, he soon notices that something entirely less advanced safeguards the city: good ol' fashioned kind-heartedness!

This was my first introduction into Home Sweet Tokyo. I was bored one day, decided to turn on NHK World, watched the tail end of their hourly news, and then they started airing this episode.
I'm not sure why, but the opening bit where Bryan throws a can of Asahi Beer at Tsuneo, only for Tsuneo to complain that it's not cold enough immidiately got my attention. Needless to say after watching this episode, I kept tuning in to watch the others.
