First things first, I'm a big fan of the 80's and 90's anime. I watched the prequel "AD Police" and comparing to that one which was darker and capturing more chaotic outlook of future, this one has a "solid" story and focuses more on police work and drama that life as a police officer in 2020 brings. Story 8/10 I see that many complain about "same damn thing happening" well they are the police who deals with boomers gone haywire, so ofc, the base of every story is going to be just that. But as you go further, the plot thickens as they are chasing the criminal whois smart and cunning. I loved the story, to be honest, it has a lot of unexpected moments.
Characters 8/10
Kenji is a hot-shot, always getting into troubles and jumping into danger, not thinking about anything. That was my first take on this character, however, there is a reason for that, and as you watch episodes you learn about his pain and his bad luck of losing partners.
Hans is my favorite. I can't say much without spoiling, so I won't. He's an easy-going, likable character, who as well as Kenji has a personal story. He is assigned to be his partner.
Other characters I liked also, and I think they are developed well.
Art 7/10
Again, big fan of the old animation.
Sound 8/10
Good compilation of soundtracks, fitting of every moment in anime, goes hand in hand with evoking "feels."
Enjoyment 8/10
I measure the enjoyment by how fast I watched; It kept my interest, so I was able to finish it very quickly.
Overall 8/10
I didn't expect that I would love it this much cause I saw many discouraging reviews here, but I decided to give it a shot and was not disappointed.
