SynopsisDaizaburo Edi-Ban, a Japanese-American, joins New York City's toughest precinct, the 34th. On his first day he is partnered up with John Estes, called Sleepy by his friends and Mad Bull by his enemies, a cop who stops crime with his own violent brand of justice. Mad Bull makes no qualms about executing common thieves with shotgun blasts if they even pose a minor threat to him or anyone around them. Mad Bull also often steals from prostitutes and does incredible amounts of property damage while fighting crime. Mad Bull's unpoliceman-like behavior often puts him in hot water with his partner Daizaburo and the 34th precinct. However, despite how reckless or illegal these acts are, a good cause is always revealed (For example, Sleepy uses the money he steals from the prostitutes to fund a venereal disease clinic and a home for battered and raped women). Perrine Valley, a police lieutenant, joins Daizaburo and Sleepy later on to help them tackle more difficult cases involving the mafia and drug-running.
Mad Bull 34 is inspired by the high-action buddy cop films of the 70's and 80's.

Basically, Mad Bull 34 is the best anime ever. The characters are likable, the voice-acting is stupendous, and the thrills never stop. I could not recommend this more to a prospective viewer.
Make sure you pick up the dub version; the accents are unbelievably well-done. They also preserved the original soundtrack, which really heightened the atmosphere of the entire piece.
Trying to keep this short since no one likes slogging through a gas-bagging review, but I really can't praise this show enough. It is a sure-to-please hit.

I was so happy I was able to find this on dvd ( if you can't, let me know and I'll help). This is funny, with good action and interesting stories. Each episode is about 45 minutes. Violence is great and explicit. Profanity flies like there's no tomorrow and it fits this anime. Animation is typical of early 90's. Some nudity that also has it's explicit moments. Pretty good cop anime that is not afraid to be over the top wether it's violence or comedy. Very enjoyable and rewatchability is high. If you like cyberpunk, I would recommend you check this out. I don't think I would classify it as cyberpunk, but it has it's moments. read more

Very similiar animation style and plots. I love both and would rewatch either at any time. Wish I could find the 13 ep tv series of Wild 7.
