AD Police

 by Fat Baby          

 

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.
