It's okay, I suppose. Although, I could do with a bit more action. Also, dat music. dat fucking music. Glorious.

LOL @ the inflating condoms in the preview.

It was ok, as expected. Nothing noteworthy besides cheesy dance, then again it is an old anime.

Pretty cool; I mostly like the designs. The tone is pretty wacky, but I thought it would be sort of serious when it started with the debate about the weaponry used by the police. The lieutenant is a terrible person and the biggest idiot, so he really cracks me up, especially when he decided to rob a bank.

ehl, so far I'm not liking this that much, everything seems a bit slaaped together, you don't really get to know any of the characters other than that the chief is a big woman hating jerk. The episode it's self feels like a disjointed mess and the anime can't seem to figure out if it wants to be an overly dark slapstick comedy or be taken seriously. So far not understanding the overblown status people (not in this thread) seem to give this.

Patlabor on crack. And lol, maybe the G-5 was inspired by this.

Brenten reminds me a lot of John Estes from Mad Bull 34. Chaplain dude reminds me of Ned Flanders.

Dear God the English dub is awful!

The voice acting isn't bad,its just the terrible sound design and the dreadful attempt at American accents they always put on for some reason in British anime dubs. It would have been quite good otherwise....

The lieutenant is right though. It's a rare woman who understands the bond between a man and his machines. I went a week without my car and honestly I would have felt better if I had chopped my sausage off for the duration instead.

If I had a Euro for each time a 1988 police/mechanime had a red-, short-haired woman with a love for the vehicle (which she specially named) as a protagonist... I'd get 2€

Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.

As for the episode itself, it was pretty good, reminiscent of a mixture of (indeed) Patlabor, Dirty Pair and a touch of Deus Ex in the dystopian setting.

As for the low point of the episode, it had to be the incredibly 80s dance scene, which was obvious horny bait.

What, where?

So far it seems better then the original manga to me. The cops are even more obviously messed up and bad (the torture scene, wrecked city, etc). And the antagonists just stole some urine? Lol. The opening scene was stylish.

Leona's design, voice and a bit of her love for machines reminded me of Noa from Patlabor (though she was created later)

P.S. I love that we got a Shigeru CHiba voiced character called "Megane"

A bit more comical and lighthearted than I was expecting, but still enjoying the ride.

Anime peaked in the 80's, this OVA is more than enough proof.
