Angel Cop is known to be very Anti-Semitic and Nationalist as the anime was marketed in Japan for Far Right nutjobs that believe in such horrible conspiracy theories which most of them got masked by Manga Entertainment to more focus on the cheesy aspect of the anime. There are very good reasons why we should criticize this anime and I'd be scared of an American cartoon glorifying Trump and we know how bad that'd turn out!

Looks like somebody googled antisemitism in anime. You must have been really bored.

"We"? Why are you speaking as if you represent everyone around the world who watched this anime? Each person enjoyed (or didn’t enjoy) it for their own reasons. I get it that you may want to vent with your political beliefs, but please, don't generalize people. Or project some opinions on a show to look as if they were dominant or something. Apologies if I sounded too harsh. I didn't intend to.

Anyway, I recommend to focus on objectively positive aspects of this show, even though it indeed has some elements that might mostly trigger culture warriors, but not only them (any work of art with controversial topics playing a huge role in its plot has huge chances to upset a person or a group of people addressed in it in a negative way, whether it's a realistic depiction or not, and whether it's a parody or done unironically with all seriousness; that's inevitable, but that's life, I guess). This catchy song has very beautiful lyrics and it comes from Angel Cop.

You would have to be willfully ignorant to not notice that Jews, like any ethnic group under normal circumstances, also organize for their own interests. The Jews do so when it comes to Israel and the diaspora, they're quite good at it, are plenty powerful and have a lot of money to pour into their causes, and Christianity (zionism and appeal to the "chosen ones") and the U.S. MIC enable them. In all honesty, establishment monotheism (Atenism was also a staunch enemy of polytheists and sought to quash them, just as Christianity did), such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all means of centralizing power, taking over the world, enacting a new world order (more like New World Ordure), etc. Just read the Torah or bible carefully or consult a Jewish scholar, like Daniel Boyarin, or find some honest rabbis. The root for these two younger religions can be found in Judaism. A core idea of Judaism is to conquer the world, which ultimately leaves the gentiles to act as their slaves. It says it in their book (written by them and having nothing to do with an alleged god, so, of course, their god "chose" them), and rabbis will confirm it.

This thread also begs the question, is it okay to ever present a group of Jews behind a conspiracy in a story? Speaking of which, this kind of western liberal conception of "Oh, Ichiro Itano wrote a story about Jews doing something bad, so he must be mentally ill" is a pathologization of dissent, which is offensive, condescending, and indicates someone being "oversocialized" or malicious. It's not like I think the script of Angel Cop is perfect but, for a B-movie OVA, Angel Cop is daring and unique and stands above most relatively similar action titles I can think of; it's raw and rough around the edges, but that's also part of its power and charm, and if there's one thing I got out of litnerd's review, it's a greater admiration for Itano, who slaved away to get this finished.

I understand your point however it's a pretty obscure anime from over 30 years ago. It's just not to be taken seriously
