Search - Angel Cop Collection on DVD

The film is a new concept, fresh and edgy. There is plenty of blood and gore, so if you aren't into that you should pass by this film. This has a great blend of psychic powers and cybernetics and while the majority of people are simply cannon fodder, some of our normal people stand out as one could reasonably expect.

Well done, this film mimics what reality would conceivably be like under the circumstances. Excellent voice acting in the English version, and fantastic overall artwork.

End of the World

"Angel cop started well enough, to keep me watching each episode to the last. Much of the story seemed like a action story with shootings, car chases, and plenty of explosions. Then the anime took a supernatural twist with the telepaths, teleporters and firestarter, and the showdowns against Lucifer. Lucifer was too powerful she had the ability to levitate herself, people and objects and killed anyone with her grip. Many of the scenes were very gruesome, with blood splatters, guts and lots of profanity to boot. I understood what the creators were doing when they named characters Angel and Lucifer. I knew they were trying to convey their own version of the world apocalypse. They conveyed this well by making Lucifer almost invincible and very sadistic. In one scene she ripped a woman in half and a man was reduced to a pulp of blood. In another scene she got shot in the head and had her arm ripped off, but she healed herself and grew a new arm. The animation and character design was excellent though a bit outdated by todays standards. The sound effects were good, but sometimes a bit subdued and drowned out by the odd music. An Epic battle contained in a six episode series with pretty good action. I must comment that the english dubbing sucked. For adults only. All episodes continued. Ends on episode 6. I also recommend the anime mini-series called, "Iria"."

Best anime Cop show

"It's kind of strange how I ended up buying Angel cop the collection. I had seen a commerical for this once that showed Angel taking her helmet off over and over again, because her partner was shocked to find out this his new partner was a tough, female cop (Angel). After seeing this cheesy commerical I thought that it something I definately didn't want to waste my time or money on. Later on I saw a review for this series in an anime magazine it sounded interesting enough. The thing that made me finally decide to give it a chance was the length and at that time I was buying anime based on length hoping to get more for my money which is definately not a recommended strategy for purchasing anime. I was extermely lucky with this one. This is one of the best cop shows in all of anime. There is plenty of story, action, violence, profanity, and interesting characters to satisfy any action-junkie. Also Angel's ride was pretty phat!The drawback is the dubbing. It wasn't all that great. Some people did some extremely bad acting and when other people cursed it sounded forced.Based on the amount of graphic violence, strong language, and nudity I would recommend this to mature viewers 17 and up."

"A few people who have seen this movie will argue that it has no story, is too long, and drags violence on and on and on. This movie does have a plot, and a very good one at that. A branch of police called the special security force deals with terrorism in Tokyo. They stop the terrorists, but then find out that they are just a cover-up for a branch of government accepting money from an American company to dump waste in the rural regions of Japan. That is the background of the story. When watching this movie, be sure to pay attention. As for all of the violence that drags on and on, a lot of it can be best summarized with one word; disturbing. This movie can bring about a lot of disturbing moments, but you won't be able to stop watching. As for length, it is good to see some anime longer than 40 minutes. All in all, after seeing this tape you most likely will not be able to stop thinking about it. The outcome is rather exciting. There will be moments where you will enjoy certain explosions, and others where you will say, "Why did that have to happen?""
