Angel Cop

I just have to review this one shortly. Angel Cop is a rarity: anime that tries too hard to feel & look like western animations, and fails at it miserably. Definately product of 80's, Angel Cop manages to insert every single 80's cliche there is into this short 6 episodes. You will get psychics resembling hard rockers, a cop so badass he isn't even wearing shirt under his brown leather jacket while riding his motorcycle (his name is Raiden, too. Now that's rad!), rewind scenes showing multiple times how heroine takes off her helmet, evil gigantic corporations, hair metal... you'll get it all! Also, I just have to mention shoulders from the art side. Every person boasts shoulders which would make Brock Lesnar jealous. Yes, even the females.

The plot... well, there isn't much into it. It was all explained in one long conversation, which frankly had nothing to do with main characters, they were fighting elsewhere. I can't tell for sure: despite being only 6 episodes long, Angel Cop is pretty confusing at times - in a bad way.

Nevertheless, I kinda enjoyed watching this. It's so camp and hilarious in its absurdly horrid way that it's borderline genius. Meant to be serious and aimed for adults, I smiled all the way. I considered dropping it after every episode, but like a dog returning to his abandoned barf, I resumed watching. Will remember this one warmly. read more

Angel cop is a interesting classic anime that has wonderful music has violence and crime. It's a good anime and its right up there with 8man and dominion tank police for me.
I totally suggest watching this !
