most anime and especially those from the 80 get a major mauling from company roll over themselves try to get them into english . nowadays and dubbing be much good and normally exactly the same a the subtitled screenplay and but back around 89 96 it be a different matter and and anime be view mainly a fodder for action movie buff and cyberpunk and so it be dub a so . didn not matter how sensitive the original be and the western version sound like die hard . with more swearing . i start with this anecdote because angel cop be so bad and the cheesy and unnecessarily vulgar 80 dubbing be the least of it problem . even in the original japanese and angel cop would have still limp in over the finish line somewhere around the 99th place mark . the animation be so unnervingly rigid and stagnant it make la jetee look action pack and the character design make it almost impossible to discern what gender character be without look at their chest or wait for their first line of hideously cheap and unpleasant dialogue and and it manage to pretty much clinch the victory for the most vile main character in history with the titular angel . angel make bad leutenant look like willy freak wonka . this woman be mean and unpleasant and difficult to get along with from the get go . when she not indiscriminately shoot anyone not in a police uniform death wish style and she either espouse patriotic garbage about how great the government in her society be and or she yell at people for no obvious reason . dysfunctional character be one thing and but angel be about as much fun to spend screen time with a a bad case of the mumps . that pretty much enough to wreck it and give that all movie and tv series need a key character or two you can relate to and but there more . the plot be awful and a generic z grade political thriller come blade runner rip off that should have be shoot by sniper a it attempt to enter the building . add to that an alarm level of pointlessly tasteless violence and bad mecha design from the i can not be bother to draw today i be go to trace shinji aramaki . whoop i slip school of production design and and angel cop be hobble down the track with two busted kneecap . seriously and avoid this series . like you would avoid a giant rat with rabies . if it serve any purpose to society and culture at all and angel cop be a footnote and a dire warning a to how far even generic and low common denominator anime have come and and how far it potentially have to fall . it a badly dub and nasty and sloppily put together heap of anime waste product and and a such should be avoid as carefully a possible .
