I really enjoyed Conan Without Borders and watched some of them multiple times.
This time in a lot of bits it just doesn't work for me (but not all of them). Conan just doesn't vibe with some of his fans and other people, while usually he makes either them or us laugh in such situation this time interaction feels kinda forced. Sometimes he interrupts people or makes them feel visibly uncomfortable to push some joke which doesn't seem really worth it to me.
As far as travelling goes, there was barely anything new to learn about each country, I think Conan could find more less obviously tourist places, things closer to common folks, like he used to.
There's only one hillarious episode, and you know which one (or who is in it).

After the first episode, I thought I'd drop it really early, but it quickly grew up on me. Danny McBride brilliantly executed his version of Michael Scott - a character strongly mean to people around but the more you watch the more he opens up as a decent guy, which makes him so relatable. And the whole cast did a great job and every character was on their place. It was really heartwarming to see some reletionships develop through Neal Gamby's harsh demeanor. The show is captivating and funny with a few plot twists and ends with a nice touch. Can't wait to check out the next work of Danny McBride!
The main thing here is of course humor, and I quite liked it. Unlike in a lot of other Japanese media I felt cringe only a few times. The humor is pretty simple and mostly visual, and hands down to Atsuro Watabe, I started watching because of Kanna and stayed because of him.
The cases they have are pretty simple mostly, and the way they solve them is just random at times or not that deductive, but it's kinda interseting to see them entagling since it's all revolves around animals.
