Synopsis
Genom City is being victimized by a series of
illicit Boomers trades, and it's up to the AD Police to stop
the main perpetrator, Liam Fletcher, from getting away with
his crimes. Among the force is Kenji Sasaki, a man who prefers
doing things his own way without the help of anyone else.
Despite his preferences, he's teamed up with Hans Kleif, whose
true nature turns out to be something no body ever suspected
Video
The animation quality in AD Police is very soft, and has very
dead colors. Most of the coloring is not up to our current
standards because almost none of the colors are lush, and impactful. But
that's not to say that AD Police is
not "watchable". It is drawn in a modernized style where the
characters faces and bodies have sharp edges instead of the
popular smoothen chins, and bodies. The animation itself is
smooth for the most part with a small error in the third and
fifth episode. Thankfully there are very little jaggies and
almost no cross coloration.
Audio
The Japanese
audio track is very good for AD Police. The speech is clear, the sound affects are loud and feel real,
and most of the music is great. The English track has its
flaws however. The English tracks main problems are that the
voice actors are a lot louder then the music and sound affects
making it very irritating to the ears. When you turn the
volume up to hear a song or an explosion, the characters voice
goes up dramatically. It is "watchable" but I would not recommend
watching it with the English audio track.
Packaging
The twelve episode series is presented on two dual layered
discs in a nice alpha double keep case. The front
cover shows the two main characters with their motorcycle, and
the back shows some stills of the animation, and information
on what the dvd contains. With good extras such as a color
picture gallery, and liner notes, AD Police is a moderately
good purchase despite the few audio and video problems. Personal Opinion
Also try Bubblegum Crisis.
