| Synopsis | |
| Review | (new)DOMINION TANK POLICE - Acts 5 to 10 mostly Cert 12 or PG New DOMINION TANK POLICE - Act 5 (Manga Video, 28 mins, cert.12, £5.99) A continuation of the series previously issued by Manga Video as two 70-min tapes. The new series is being issued, Japanese fashion, as six short 28-minute single-episode tapes, at a pocket money price. It is set in a future where the police have to use tanks to contain criminality and terrorism (a splendid idea, just the thing to deal with a Newcastle underclass riot). The first episode involves police girl Leona in a mix of comedy, general destruction and ineffective gunfire. Alas, the character vignettes, comic panache and the ecological subtext that distinguished the earlier series are all lacking. It's not that bad, but fans of the best-selling earlier series may suffer disappointment, and those tempted to buy it as a low-cost introduction to anime may wonder what all the fuss was about. Acts 6-10 are much the same; mildly entertaining and entirely brainless anime. |
