Movie Reviews of Dominion Tank Police
Movie Review: cool 80's anime
Summary: 4 Stars
Really cool show. Pretty neat characters and a okay plot. I think what I liked best about this title was the music. But then again I love stuff from the 80's.Movie Review: Tanks To Fight Crime?
Summary: 2 Stars
Dominion Tank Police is a four part mini-series anime about a ficticious city called, Newport. Newport City has terribly polluted air which looks hazy and full of visable smog; so the citizens have to wear gas masks if they go onto the streets. Another problem of Newport was too much crime taking place. Regular police could not handle that much crime, so the local government develops a new police unit called "Tank Police". A new recruit named, Leona entered the, Tank Police as a rookie and we get to see a lot of her. Then we follow the the crime of one particular gang and its leader named, Buaka. Later we learn that Buaka was part of a secret government experiment which he escaped from. The Puma Sisters were always getting into mischief. I thought the overall idea of using tanks to fight crimes was kind of silly, but I guess the creators were trying to validate the amount of destruction as action sequences when a tank fired a shot and caused large explosions and even hit buildings by accident. I did not like, Buaka's storyline, being part of an experiment, it was weak and boring. I just didn't care for his character adding to the fact that, Buaka kinda looks like an ape- and the worst part is that a large chunk of time goes to him and his stupid story. I wanted to know more about the main character, Leona, but little background was given on her. Another thing I didn't like was the fact that the Tank Police didn't really do any police work; instead they just blasted things with their tank's gun all the time. One thing I enjoy was the artwork. I loved that cyber-punk, futuristic design, hazy cityscape and organic metal design of the buildings. The character designs were excellent (except for Buaka) and the animation very fluid. This anime was created in the early 90's and still looks great even by today's standard! And that says a lot. The English subtitles were easy to read and the translation look right. The voice acting was good in both English and Japanese. The sound effects were good and the music was upbeat and sometimes atmospheric which I enjoyed. Overall I thought this was a decent anime, although I didn't like the story too much because of, Buaka. Okay for teens and adults. The series ends on episode four and returns in a new (and improved) series called "New Dominion Tank Police".
