Mixed Feelings
Hyper police is one anime I was interested in but when I seen the entire show, I was disappointed but its not a bad anime to watch. So here is my review of the show.

Story:5/10
The story follows Natsuki who is a rookie bounty and half human/half cat in a world where humans, monsters, and gods live together after mankind has fallen many years back as now in this time they call it the holy era. Natsuki and the other bounty hunters jobs is to keep the peace from many monsters and sometimes human who are trying to breaking it. That's the plot and here is my main gripe. Its episodic. That's the reason why I'm disappointed because there is no plot to speak of until when its at the very end of the show. There are times that does show a plot but mostly its just filler. But they are entertaining enough to see and the comedy is pretty decent enough. So while the plot is non-excision, at least it does a good job to try to entertain me which is why I give this section a five.

Art:7/10
The art is ok at best. It doesn't look great but its not that bad ether. Character designs look well enough and the action scenes are well fluid in animation wise. I like how the world looks as it really shows that it use to be all beautiful before the holy era began. So the art is while not great, it is fine for what it is.

Music:6/10
The op by AYA is really one of the catchiest songs that I've heard and the ending by Yuko and Chiyako is also my favorite ending so for. But what about the other music. Well they didn't impress me as its like any generic music you hear in the 90's. Nothing special but it fits and they don't sound out of place.

English dubs vs english subs:
This is where I'm gonna decide which track you should listen. The dub is ok at best as its not that bad compare to the other 90's and 80's dubs but I do have my gripes. Batanen voice is a little to deep in my opinion, Natsuki is too high and annoying! And secondary characters are hit or miss. One voice that I praise is Dorothy who did the voice for Sakura as she really gives her character personality. Now I only watch this in dub as I couldn't find the japanese version online. Its like it doesn't exist and I look high and low for it. So if your gonna see this then skip if you want subs but those who wan't dubs then this is good to listen to if you can handle the voice of the main character(seriously her dub voice is annoying).
Winner: English dub by default unless if you know where the subs is then the english subs is the winner.

Characters:6/10
The cast is decent enough to follow. There really isn't much depth to them but there personalities are very good and clever even if I have seen this before. They kinda develop as the episodes go by but they still act the same. So in terms of characters they are enjoyable but don't expect them to develop them well.

Enjoyment:5/10
I did enjoy this when I watch it but as I go on, it kinda drop. I was expecting at least some sort of plot line like how the world is form because it didn't explain it well. But if your in for something to waste your time then this is for you.But if your hoping for good story telling and character development then skip it.

Overall:5/10 Average
