Review: AD Police

Today I come bearing a review of AD Police, out from Manga UK a few months ago. This is a 3-part OVA spin off from the Bubblegum Crisis anime.

  • AD Police is the typical kind of violent anime that characterizes the flood of releases we saw hit the UK in the wake of the (worldwide) success of Akira during the early 1990s. It delivers exactly what the fan boys could possibly want – cool looking robots, a dark and moody sci-fi setting and a bucket load of blood and guts. Yet it unfortunately barely scratches the surface of what could have been an interesting precursor to the likes of ‘Ghost in the Shell’.
