If you like ultra violent '90s anime like I do this should be a good watch for you. I was actually one of those people who pre ordered this when discotek originally released the DVD. In terms of characters they are pretty bland. You have the by-the-books cop, the bad@$$ anti-hero cop, the tough chick, and a bunch of people you won't even remember. The best thing I can do now is break it down episode by episode. The first episode has some fun gore, a nice ghetto atmosphere, and parodies several action movies including the bond franchise, but the villain is lame. Episode 2 is probably the best because it has the same great atmosphere, gore that is even more awesome than the first episode, and a little bit of humor, but there is this stupid subplot about a dirty cop which is forgettable. The third episode is so bad it's hilarious. The animation is laughable and the most annoying and stupid character in the series is introduced, but like I said it is like an Ed Wood film. The fourth episode makes the horrible decision to play everything straight. There is some humor, but the gore and action are worse than ever. The main villain and her relationship with one of the cops could have been interesting if it was actually done well, but it wasn't. I enjoyed this series because the whole thing kept my attention and had some genuinely clever and fun moments, but I just can't bring myself to give it an average rating because of all of its flaws.
