Natsumi Tsujimoto is joining up with a division of the Tokyo police. She’s wild and carefree, a stark contrast with the woman she’s partnered with, Miyuki, whose more by the books and grounded in reality. Nonetheless, the four episodes show the two garner a friendship and follows their exploits as they stop fast and dangerous criminals. Along the way there is a hint of romance and a lot of misuse of taxpayer dollars.
There’s no real plot here, just cops chasing down bad guys. No guns either, the OVA’s stick to an occasional car chase. These are usually pretty exciting, though generally get super dumb at some point (Natsumi can stop a car with her feet somehow). There’s no consistency between the episodes and in four episodes we’re expected to believe a year has passed, despite absolutely nothing significant being shown happening in that year. No real character development or story progress. It’s all just stagnant, episodic kind of stuff.
That said, it has the cartoonish charm I mentioned earlier. It’s a very silly show that isn’t rooted in reality at all and knows that. Thus you get a lot of fun out of that. The characters are all hot females in police uniforms. They all exhibit typical characteristics of a 90’s anime babe, from serious to silly to OTPing other characters because she’s got nothing better to do.
There’s not much I can say about the four episodes presented. They’re fun distractions, though nothing memorable or in any way great. It’s a nice escape to a different time that is sure to please people like me. But for others, it may not be worth watching. It just depends how comfortable you are with cartoonish anime.
