The story is about criminals who are given shorter sentences if they take care of other dangerous criminals, an offer they gladly accept yet wish they didn’t have to. I personally think it’s a good premise and although it doesn’t do too much with it considering the anime’s short length I still consider it to be a good story.
The art is very 90s and you can take that how you will. They know how to use the colour red a lot as well as using a fairly dark colour palette. The characters all look unique enough and the place they live is set up well enough considering how little time it needs to be used for.
The sound was one of the weaker aspects of the anime. The music wasn’t very memorable and the voice actors didn’t even do their jobs all that well. The sound effects aren’t good either. Whoever did the hiring did not prioritize good sound out of all of the things to pay for.
The characters do indeed have personalities, but in terms of both realism and likability they aren’t that great. Although they are acting as stand-in police officers they don’t give off that impression. Obviously Japan barely has any black people so they wouldn’t have that stereotype there, but it’s clear that to get into prison they broke the law so they’re not going to be the best at enforcing it.
Despite the problems that this did have, the plot was very clear and easy to follow. It’s one of the few bloody anime that didn’t feel childish to me. It was a really fun anime to watch. You could call it a guilty pleasure, but since not many have seen it and I don’t know many people’s opinions of it I don’t really feel any guilt from liking it.
Overall I thought this was a good anime. There is a lot of really solid things about it. If you’re looking for 90s OVAs I would recommend that you give this one a shot. You will not regret it.
