Angel Cop Collection

Rating:
Summary: Standard animation with an overblown plot...
Review: "Angel Cop" is an ultraviolent collection of anime episodes that deals with future Tokyo's falling apart. It's very standard in terms of animation and setting. The plot, concerning big corporate bad guys, futuristic cops, and weird ghost people, couldn't be more convoluted or full of holes. But it's the action that holds up the movie and gets it its 3 1/2 out of 5 from me. The characters are almost entirely forgettable, but developing characters isn't the movie's mission. The film is out for blood, violence, and death and it gives all in its two and a half hours runtime (which feels shorter than it is). As sci-fi, "Angel Cop" is strongly lacking. As action, it works almost too well.

Summary: Will stay implanted in your mind
Review: 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?"

Summary: Great and gritty.
Review: After my early addiction to anime ive been vistiting my local rental store and watching every anime i can get my hands on. Let me say ive been disapointed a few times with short or pointless ones but this is superb. Not only dose this fully go into one of the best story lines ive seen but this sucka is 6 freakin hours long. Can you imagin my surprise when i was used to 1/2 or 1 hour movies. The great story line and huge length of this anime makes me give it 5 out of 5 stars. Anime Forever

Summary: Good anime, but certainly not the best.
Review: Angel Cop is a good movie to see if you're looking for a lot of violence coupled with some rather cool animated effects. On the criteria of animation alone, Angel Cop is worthy of any anime fan's attention. The animation is detailed and fast-paced. However, if you're looking for an involved character-oriented storyline, look elsewhere. The characters in Angel Cop are little more than small parts of the overall storyline, which is surprisingly simplistic. Based on the high quality of animation and the sheer length of it, it might be worthy of purchase if you can't find a rental copy.

Summary: Boring anime.
Review: Angel Cop is a typical action flick. Lots of violence and just enough plot to justify all the blood and gore. That can be interesting if done right, which is not the case here. Everything is just repetitive, to the point that mindless violence does indeed become mindless violence. Take the final fight sequence for example. It takes nearly 2 episodes out of total 6 to kill the final boss. During which, the boss comes back from the dead number of times only to delay what is inevitably a predictable ending.

Summary: End of the World
Review: 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.

Summary: A really good action animated movie
Review: Angel Cop the collection, for its price of either 16.99, or 19.99(depends on where you buy it) is really worth the money. six episodes of carnage, humour,and weirdness. i really enjoyed angel cop. she is cold hearted in someways.brutal and foul mouthed. you cant help but laugh at some of the stuff she says. this is a really good package for the price. check it out.

Summary: Worth watching once...
Review: Angel cop wasn't bad... but it wasn't great either. After seeing "Akira" and "Vampire Hunter D", I was hoping to see something as epic in "Angel cop"... it was okay, but it didn't really compare very well. The story wasn't bad, the action was pretty good and the bad-guys were interesting... the only thing this film really needed was some originality!
