Quotes
Tokawa: But you wouldn't drop the case would you? Oh no, not you, not the great Taki? Who the fuck do you think you are? Some kind of latter day Lone Ranger, huh? Well now you're gonna be the DEAD fuckin' ranger!

Crazy credits
The USA DVD from Manga Entertainment features a split screen with the Japanese credits squished to the top of the screen and the English credits scroll below it.

Alternate versions
When released in the UK, the fourth part of this film, entitled Angel Cop 4:
Pain, was cut by 7 seconds by the BBFC. These cuts removed breast exposure and breasts being scratched and the subsequent shot of bloody scratch marks on the breasts.

9/10

So close to brilliance.

As I've put in the title. This series came very close to being an all time classic. Hence my 9/10 instead of a possible 6/10. To explain... Angel Cop is essentially an 'Indie' style of anime with all the same flaws. Some talented people came up with a great concept and did the absolute best they could with limited resources. The result is average animation, passable voice acting and a much shorter series length than the concept deserves. Even today, I believe it's well worth a look, so long as you have an open mind.
