A.D. Police: To Protect and Serve · review
To sum up my anime viewing lately in a single word, nostalgic does the trick. I'm not exactly current, even my Netflix views have been a season or two overdue for a while. And just this week I blew the dust off an interesting entry in the Stack; the one I almost watched back in the day. I came across A.D. Police back when I was still a new otaku and had just upgraded to DVDs for my media enjoyment. I would see it on the shelf there in Sam Goody (ahh, memories, right?) and really thought it would be something I wouldlike. Well I never actually walked out of the store with it and it was even on my Amazon wishlist for while.
Finally, this summer I got it on Blu-ray so once and for all I can say...
Yeah, it's not bad. Definitely older looking by current standards, the style that I fell in love with when I first got into the genre. While not a life changing experience, I enjoyed the show. Music is good, intro and outro are catchy, story's paced pretty well, good amount of action. Not reliant on fan service or bad jokes involved therein. Just a softcore cyberpunk viewing pleasure.
I'm honestly surprised I didn't get it back in the day and watch it then. I would've gotten into the Bubblegum Crisis universe sooner. Recommended for your nostalgia wave.
