It's old but still good
Needs the "Ghost Stories" treatment
Maybe a laugh track
Prose elaboration:
"Angel Cop" is a series that finds its way onto a lot of worst-anime lists, unfairly. As one of the older series for non-children, it came in an industry that was still finding its way. It's a milestone, an artifact in anime history.
It's decent but takes itself a little too seriously until the last episode, where they realized that they hadn't checked the tiddies box yet. They made up for it. The series contains some of the best and grittiest lines ever: "I'n not here to take you in, I'm here to take you out."
The ED, Crayon-sha's "Itami," is a driving classic. It's one of the best examples of perfect music for an anime scene.
That having been said, I think that "Angel Cop" would really benefit from two things. The first is to hand it over to an open-minded director and a batch of talented voice actors with instructions to make it up as they went along, in the fashion of "Ghost Stories." The other is, frankly, a laugh track.
