Dominion Tank Police
 Home/Change Series
One of Masamune Shirow's early masterpieces, Dominion Tank Police is one manga and anime series that got me hooked on the genre from the age of 15.
The Blade Runner-esque environment with cyborgs, criminals and an unconventional police force is a strong theme/setting but I also enjoyed the humour which stopped the series from becoming stale or too serious. I'm not generally a fan of the Japanese slapstick humour but most of it in Dominion mixes this with fairly dark undertones.
I highly recommend the English dub of the 1988 original 4-parter, even the intro/outro credits are decent.
The 6 part follow-up OVA in 1994 is less entertaining with fewer laughs and doesn't feel as concise as the original but it's watchable nonetheless.
Tank S.W.A.T. is the latest incarnation of the series [March 2006] so it's good to see the franchise is still healthy.
"TANK POLICE- FEEL THE POWER THAT WE'VE GOT!"
