/a/ deleted this because they suck cocks
So I saw weebm related on /b/ awhile back. It looked like hand drawn awesomeness. I downloaded every episode of every series, and even downloaded the 3DPD series for good measure. I started at the beginning. I watched the original 4 episode OVA and was blown away. The animation is gorgeous hand drawn sex. It has a good story and good character development and the girls are super qt3.14s. Yoriko hnnnnnnng.
So then I started the television series, which is basically supposed to pick up where the OVA left off. Holy shit the production values are garbage! There is none of the scene porn and beautiful hand drawn detail. Also there's a new character! A fucking tranny…
Is it even worth continuing? Does it get good again?

There's a movie which has equally, if not better, animation compared to the OVA so you can watch that. I experienced the same thing as you recently, I loved the OVA (well, the story could have been better but great art+animation as expected from an OVA from its time) but the TV series looked like dogshit.

Probably because no one reads them.
I've never really been into manga in general. I don't care for western comics either, really. I think part of it is getting it in small chunks. The few comics/manga I've actually read all of were in a large omnibus type collection. When I read, I usually sit down and read a real physical book for a few hours at a time. For example I read Tom Clancy's Without Remorse in one day, and I read Neuromancer in one sitting. I have trouble with ebooks because I can't really just sit at a desk and focus on the screen for long periods of time. I need to be able to change position and move the book around. I could probably do ebooks if I had a tablet, but I'm a poorfag. I tried to read Berserk online, and just couldn't do it.

So I think my complaints have less to do with actual production values and more to do with image quality. I think this rip is from a degraded VHS. I mean, the production values are clearly lower, but I'm realizing my main complaint is a slight blurriness smudging out some of the finer details.

So the Tranny is almost entirely used for humorous effect. Almost every time it seems someone is going to peek/touch/grope the girls, it always ends up being the tranny and the person freaks the fuck out. One time everyone is drunk and passed out. This guy sees a passedout girl and goes to finger her. He ends up touching penis instead and flips his shit. It's actually pretty well done. It's about as unpozzed as a show with a tranny can be. Even it's friends/coworkers refer to it as a freak and a pervert.

I guess I'll just keep blogging.
Got to the first episode of the mini series and I'm not impressed. The OVA and first series were great. I really hope the first episode is not indicative of the entire mini series. It was three vignettes about the girls humiliating/beating up guys trying to sneak-a-peek, grope, or steal their underwear. It's like they thought that the show has been too good up until now, and they should just do fanservice instead. I miss the hardworking, crime fighting, friends of the local schoolchildren show it was. Now it's stronk women who don't need no man running around in bathing suits and lingerie. There's only five episodes total in the mini series, so I guess I'll just have to tough it out until the movie.

So I finished the mini I specials. It's worth a few yuks, but not actually special. The last episode was the only one that wasn't entirely about catching peeping toms and panty theives.

Ok, so I just watched the movie, or should I say, the movie tenderly made love to my eyes. It was gloriously animated. The plot was pretty epic, just like this kind of movie should be. I didn't at all feel like I was watching just a longer episode of the show, which is rare. It was very well done.
I haven't looked into it, but the next series was released in 2001, which means it be digitally produced. Too bad. I'm going to watch it anyway, though. I'm enjoying the franchise too much.
I've attached some screenshots.

The blogging continues.
I just watched the first episode of the 2001 series. The opening and closing reek of digital production. The closing specifically is just an intern playing with a 3D effect I don't know the name of. Pictures are rotating like they're on a cube. The opening wasn't nearly as bad, but the digital stink was there. During the show there was very little digital bullshit going on, but there was some. Mostly the surface of a river and some spray from a truck falling into the river from off a bridge. Other than that it actually looked very good. Almost as good as the OVA and movie in most parts.
One thing that did make the autist in me reee was that many of the character models have been changed. Natsumi's eyes are bright green now instead of the lusty maroon color they were before. Aoi's hair is black now, and not as curly. I didn't notice if his eye color changed. His face does seem to be drawn a bit more masculine to me. He also seems to be taller, really towering over Yoriko. (Aoi is the tranny.) The way all the eyes are drawn in general is different now. I don't now if it was a result of digital production, or just the aesthetic of the time. but they definitely have a less "nineties" look to them. It's really a look I tend to associate more with later 2000's anime as opposed to something that came out in 2001. Maybe they're trendsetters, maybe I'm just imagining things.
As for the plot it was classic You're Under Arrest. It's not really a plot point, but one thing that bothers me is Natsumi's power creep. She's so literally stronk now she's flipping cars onto their sides. Even strongmen don't do that kind of shit. They weren't little kei cars either. We're talking four door sedans one of which is the cheif's. Just doing one would be a feat of strength. She's going down the whole street flipping them all.

Correction Miyuki's eyes are now purple, and Aoi's are now dark blue, they they only bother drawing them like that when very close up.
I'm just about halfway through this series. So far it's pretty darn good. It hasn't fucked with the formula. Though they've made Toukairin quirkier instead of just being the plain strong silent type like he was before. Also the episode just retconned Miyuki and Natsumi going to the academy together, when in the first episode of the OVA they had never met before.

So I just finished the… third season? Second series? I just finished You're Under Arrest! (2001) a.k.a. You're Under Arrest!: Fast And Furious.
Holy shit it was actually really great. In the last third or so of the season they really crank up the drama. That shit had my stomach chirning with anxiety. I knew the author would never actually go through with what they were acting like was going to happen, but it was intense none the less. It also had a very happy ending! I don't want to give away any spoilers, but trust me, this is the best season yet, imho. Don't skip anything (except maybe the mini-specials if you really must,) because this series really builds off everything that has come before. In the first episode that annoying girls Saori has become a rookie cop. You can probably guess what they happy ending is, but I won't say.
Tomorrow I'll watch the OVA where they go to America because… I don't know why they go yet. I guess I'll have to find out.

What. The. Fuck.
I am filled with the blind rage of a thousand supernovas. I just finished watching Taiho Shichau zo in America (You're Under Arrest!: No Mercy.) What a piece of fucking garbage. Even at the franchise's previous worst I never felt like this. The mini specials were just fanservice, but they didn't offend me like this. This 23 minute OVA is FUCKING SHIT!
SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
Seriously. I shouldn't have to do research to find out what the fuck is going on in the first minutes of the show. Why is Yoriko so tan? Why is the chief waving his gun in people's face? Oh wait, that's not Yoriko. That's not the chief. That's not Saori. Those are there American "counterparts." Also since it's America, all the officers are waving their guns around all the time and threatening criminals with extrajudicial executions. Don't you know all American cops make Harry Callahan look like a little bitch? The only characters that actually transferred from Japan are Natsumi, Miyuki, and Aoi. Speaking of Aoi, for some reason America has turned him from a coy, demure, almost overly ladylike trap, to your average cock starved fag tranny. Also, Cain, Ken's counterpart, might also be a fag with the chief. They don't really make it clear if they're joking or not. Of course there is no way they can develop these new characters in a single fucking half hour show. We just have to trust that these characters are exactly like the ones we already know, only completely different. So Yoriko's counterpart is Rico, Ken's is Cain, Saori's is Sally, and the chief is a differnt guy that is still called and looks like the chief.
So the shitty fucking plot? I'm not spoilering any "spoilers," because you're not missing out on anything. Apparently at some point the three mentioned earlier got transferred to the LAPD because reasons. Now that they're LAPD they just shoot people's tire's out because freedom. Also for some reason they rent the guns from Not Yoriko? Anyway, they all go out for dinner, and someone steal's Miyuki's new mustang. The rumble of the big American V8 gets her all wet, apparently. There's no replacement for displacement, I'll give that. The guy who did it looks like Toukairin. What a fucking shocker. Miyuki gives Rico her super elite no limit credit card to buy guns with. The next day they tell the chief, and he makes a suspicious call. There's an investigation montage, and the day after whenever the fuck the shitty montage ends, Miyuki and Natsumi are walking down the street trying to enjoy their day off, when the other officers rollup in their car and are like "we're having a beach day to sooth your nerves!" Aoi is all horny chasing dudes at the beach and shit. It's nasty. Later they're all having a drink al fresco, when they see the chief talking to that guy that looks like Toukairin. Everyone chases them to a love motel and after a brief gay kiss fantasy scene, they attack them. Oops. Turns out the guy was an undercover cop meeting with the chief. He accidentally stole Miyuki's car in the line of duty. Turns out they're near the place where the stolen cars are. The cheif finally explains the retarded plot. These bad guys have been stealing expensive cars to fix up, and then they use them to try and upsell people to even nicer cars or some retarded shit. I don't know it doesn't really matter. The decide to go in without calling for backup, because this is America and they don't do stupid shit like "being patient." Not Yoriko pulls a giant duffel bag full of guns that she bought with Miyuki's credit card out of somewhere, and they literally charge in guns blazing and fucking shoot the place up and get MIyuki's car back. The. Fucking. End, I just saved you 23 minutes of wasted time.
Oh, did I mention that the animation is fucking trash tier as well? There's no way they spent more than $75k on this piece of shit. Oh I forgot to mention: despite this being made in 2002, and I assume taking place then, everyone and everything seems to be stuck in 1985. You know, this might have been good if they made moe than a single little episode and actually developed the characters a little, and gave it a plot that wasn't retarded, but they couldn't, they didn't. They shit on the floor and tracked it all over the carpet.
TL,DR: It's shit and it makes me mad.

Well, it's that time again…
I just finished the first episode of You're Under Arrest!: Full Throttle. It looks like it will be a decent show, but so far I'm not particularly impressed with anything specific. The character models are weird. They have a weird gaunt look in profile, and sometimes from the front too. It's definitely not the previous animation style(s) nor character designs. It looks like it's going to have an overarching plot instead of being almost purely episodic.
Natsumi seems to be rather Mary-Suey. She's so badass she beat all the guys in an arm wrestling competition at JSDF ranger school, but they all think she's great anyway. She's also doing crazier stunts than ever like jumping off a motorcycle into the back of a minivan during a high speed chase. Oh, and her tits doubled in size. Despite being a breast man, it bothers me that they would change something like that. I guess it's the whole "true breast lover loving all tits" thing. They're also drawing her a little more muscular. That and her JSDF training clothes make her look kinda butch. Boo!
The ending credits give off a very /u/ vibe. Are Miyuki and Ken no longer engaged? That was the big finale of the last series. Are we pretending that never happened? There's lots of weird shots of Miyuki and Natsumi. They're slowly lacing their fingers together and shit. They do seem to be making Natsumi a bit more butch like I mentioned earlier. Maybe in the finale of this one Natsumi and Miyuki confess their love to each other and bump fuzzies. I'd watch that. It'd be a really shitty way to end the show, but I'd watch it. Look at pics related and the lyrics on the screen, and tell me that's not some lez shit.

I guess it was just hype and wishful thinking on my part. I was still riding the high from the drama. Dude needs to put a ring on it. Bitch better say yes. Accidentally saw where someone said that Full Throttle gives an underwhelming conclusion to the Ken/Miyuki OTP. I'm suddenly even less excited to watch this series. Knowing that they may never get together and crank out some racer babies makes me lose hope for the future. Shit's depressing.

Nobody talks about it because nobody asks. I read a lot of the manga and loved it. Kenichi Sonoda is a one-of-a-kind talent. I only saw a few episodes of the anime way back, and I don't remember if those were tv episodes or OAV.
About the tran character, I don't think he was supposed to be a tranny. I don't recall any dialog tl that effect. He was just a dude who liked to dress like a woman. That's an old fashioned drag queen, not a transexual. Pic is relevant if you stop and think about it.

Try posting your pic again. As far a drag queen v. transexual, in the animated version at least, he is a tranny. He maybe starts more like a drag queen, but soon we find out how he longs to be a real woman and have a man to be a good wife to. He realizes it's impossible to be a real woman, but still desires it. I consider that tranny. Maybe not a full on tulbrina tier tranny, but a tranny none the less. The only time we see him briefly dress as a man is to tell that one actor guy that they can never be together because he's not actually a woman.

Okay, if that dialog happens in the anime, you are correct. I would agree that transexual is the right label then.
P.S. I am baka as hell. I meant Kōsuke Fujishima, also the creator of Oh My Goddess. I wrote Kenichi Sonoda who created Gunsmith Cats. I do actually know the difference, but I confused the names of these guys. Damn my middle-age memory.

Finally watching Full Throttle again. Even with so much time off, the character designs still bother me. Miyuki in particular is just too lean and lanky, and her jaw is too square, and they way they draw the eyes is off somehow. Whenever they show her in profile she looks like a scared typhoid victim with a manjaw. That is not how she looked in any of the previous incarnations. When this is over I'm going to have to rewatch the OVA to cleanse my palate.

Just finished the beach episode. Apparently some bad dues are sneaking pics of all the sexy japanese girls at the beach, so the team has to use their beach day to stop them, because God forbid they get the day off for once. So they find the guys using Braids anf Penisgirl as bait. The guys run for it on bikes.
You know how this show has always had a gearhead theme running through it? Miyuki is always wrenching on her car. She's always tring to get better performance so she can catch the bad guys better in her tiny car that has a glorified motorcycle engine in it. So what do they do to chase down these guys? Miyuki and Natsumi hop into her personal car and chase after them? They hop into Aoi and Yoriko's peronal car? The hop in whatever unmentioned mode of conveyance Saori took to get there? (I forgot to mention she's visiting in this episode.) Nope, they all put on fucking rollerblades and chase down the young men that way. In fact, it seems to me that there is a lot less of a focus on the vehicles in Full Throttle Furu Suryotoru. Yeah, I learned kana. There is some mention of Natsumi and the Motocompo, but I don't recall seeing Miyuki sperging out over car parts or really working on her car in this series.That's kind of a big part of her character. That girl has gasoline in her veins.

So the last couple of episodes seems to have plots that are particularly… contrived? Ham-fisted? Obvious? I'm not sure how to describe them, but you can see this shit coming down broadway. In one episode, Natsumi and Miyuki are having a fight, and int he course of this fight, Miyuki does some fancy driving and hurts her shifting wrist. They make up and Natsumi shifts for her. They way they went about it was just so unsublte, and you could see it coming down broadway a mile away. The one good thing about the episode was that we got to see Miyuki doing some fancy driving with good heel-toe downshifting. A skill I need to work on myself. Rush hour in a manual is brutal. Now we just need her to sperg out over car parts like she used to.
The next episode starts with a girl impatiently waiting at an intersection to cross, as soon as the light of the cross street turns yellow, she makes a break for it. (The Japanese are super anal about crossing the street. At 3AM on a night with zero traffic, they will still wait for the light to change before crossing.) The girl neither sees nor hear's the truck coming, and gets splattered. Back to the present: Miyuki is gone on a trip, so Natsumi goes out on patrol with Yoriko.Yoriko mentions that a girl died at a particular intersection awhile back. That night Natsumi goes by that intersection on the eay home and has a Vietnam-tier flashback to the accident, which she has no actual memory of and just learned about earlier that day. The wind blows, and she looks into a tree with the setting sun shining through the leaves and see's a diary. If you can't already tell who's diary it's going to be, you might be retarded. Natsumi is retarded. She reads the whole thing and finds that it's from a first year high school girl that sees a guy from the all boys school on the train everyday and is madly in love with him. The last entry is about how she is going to finally talk to him and tell him she likes him. She draws a sketch in her diary and everything. Natsumi does some research in the Police database and it finally get's through her thick skull and into her thin cortex, and she finally realizes it's the girl that died at the cross-walk. After thinking really hard, she realizes why the girl was in such a hurry that day. She decides she's going to track the guy down on the train and explain the situation, but can't do it when she overhears him looking for the cute girl that always rode the train before break so he can tell her he likes her. Then like a typical woman, she backeards rationalizes the whole thing to it being better that way. On the plus side Yoriko is super cute in this episode.

Just watched the fourth to last episode. They're cranking up the drama for the big finale. Joyriders are absolutely terrorizing the town every weekend. People are super pissed, The cops can't seem to catch these assholes. They devise a plan to go out and catch the fuckers. One of the other motorcycle cops puts the idea in Nakajima's head that he shouldn't let Miyuki go out lest she get's hurt. He suggests this to her and she almost gets butthurt. They go out and are chasing after the joyriders. All of a sudden this red car appears, gets to the front of the pack, and starts spewing a red smokescreen. The joyriders crash, and so do one of the motorcycle cops.
Word gets to the public and he becomes kind of an antihero. The traffic section makes pllans to ry and capture him too. The next night the traffiv section is out looking for him. Nakajima is on the radio with Miyuki and Natsumi back at the station. He chases the car to a roadblock, but he puts in in reerse, bust through it, then does and j-turn and keeps going. Miyuki's pride gets her and she and Natsumi go out there in the kei patrol car without the chief's permission. They almost block him in, but he spray his red smoke and gets away. Miyuki and Natsumi are sitting there dumbfounded, when Ken drive's into the smoke and doesn't brake intime, slamming his motorcycle into the passenger side door of the patrol car, and flying through the air until he slams into a chain link fence. You would expect him to get some pretty severe spine damage from this, if not die, but he somehow get's away with a broken forearm.
This whole thing has Miyuki super pissed. She finds out headquarters is gong to get involved, and she talks back to the chief in front of every one. He is pretty cool about it, and tells her to hold on to her feelings until the time comes, but she should just do what he says for now.
Cut to late night, Miyuki and Natsumi are working on paperwork. Natsumi leaves to go change so they can go home. When she laves, we see that Miyuki is writing a letter of resignation.
So yeah, that's quite the cliffhanger for the first part of this final arc. We don't usually see Miyuki get worked up like that, much less decide to quit her job over something. Natsumi is usually the fiery one while Miyuki is the voice of reason. This can't live up to the crazy drama at the end of the second season, though. That shit was intense. I almost stopped watching that time. Ken/Miyuki is clearly the OTP.

Well, This is it. The last blogpost for this thread. I guess we can finally let it die.
So the epic arc I was expecting kind of petered out. I figured chasing down this red car vigilante would be the final story for the series, but it was just a two parter. In the second episode, Ken's dad and his buddies get kinda pissed that the traffic section has their hands ties, so they go out and try to bait the red car guy in their own. Ken tells Miyuki, and she goes after them. They sucessfully bait out the red car, and Miyuki chases him. Ken gets Natsumi, and they take off on his bike with her driving and him sitting bitch with his broken arm. It ends in a wreck, with both vehicles sliding down a cliff. Ken and Natsumi catch up. They see what happened, and Ken freaks out, rips off his sling, and tries to scurry down the cliff to find Miyuki and save her. He slips and slides off into the darkness. Natsumi goes for help so they can mount a proper search. Miyuki comes to and arerests the guy. He calls the cops hopeless. She tells him off a little, and in a flshback we find out he was some kind of former cop and Ken said something very similar to what she said once. This thread is never brought up gain. We never find out who this guy actually is, or how exactly he knew Ken. I think maybe this was going to be more than a two parter like I initially expected, and it got cut short, because the next two epsiodes seem like filler, though one of them is pretty good. The dude's leg is broken, so Miyuki splints it and tells him to stay put while she goes to find help. Ken took his fall just fine and it searching for Miyuki with a flashlight that he must have been keeping hidden in his rectum, because he didn't seem to have one before he fell. Miyuki isn't in very good shape herself as she sets off for help. She can't get signal on her cell, and isn't walking too well. She see's the flashlight and collapses. Actual Spoilers: She slips into a dream where she can Ken are on the roof of the Station, and he asks her to marry him. The way the actual conversation goes though, it sounds like they might actually be talking in the woods, and she's more hallucinating than dreaming. Anyway, she kind of smiles, then comes to with him carrying her on his back through the woods. Then they start to have the same conversation. She cuts him off and says, "Yes." Then it fades to white and goes into a montage of them pulling the today out of the woods, and the red car guy getting carried out on a stretcher. Then Miyuki is in the hospital recovering, and Ken goes back to work and the episode if over. So are they fucking engaged or not?

Had to split it up into two posts.
So anyway, moving on to the next episode. This episode alone makes Full Throttle worth a watch. It's an Aoi and Yoriko episode! They realize that they don't really accomplish much compared to the supa-combi of Miyuki and Natsumi. They decide to change that. Suddenly wwe see a redone title sequence with Aoi and Yoriko in place the supa-combi. After some snopping through Natusmi and Miyuki's desks to try and find the source of their powers, Aoi decides it's Miyuki's love for her Today that is where she draws her power, so she decides to show the same love to their mini patrol car. Also, if anyone knows what model the regualr mini patrol cars are, let me know. Anyway, Yoriko decides she needs to become strong like Natsumi. Aoi shows Yoriko their redone patrol car and it's been decked out with a shitlod of cutesy shit. They head out on patrol and find a bike theif. They decide to split up after he runs. Yoriko get's a razor scooter out of the trunk to use like Nasumi uses her motocompo. Hilarity ensues. Next they try to go after a speeder. Aoi decides to use the ace up her sleeve and hit a special button on the dash. Instead of Miyuki's nitrous, the trunk opens where Aoi has put a desk fan with some roman candles placed around it. Needless to say, this doesn't help much. Also, it looks like the fan blades are spinning in the wrong direction. They go back to headqaurters and get chewed out by the chief, and decide to use their own strengths in the future. The go out on patrol, and after almost helping a bad guy, they catch him. This episode is pretty hilarious, and defintely worth a watch.
The last episode is Miyuki and Natsumi showing some new revruits around the station. It was a very anticlimactic way to end the series. Ther's still no mention of wether or not Ken and Miyuki are actually engaged. Also they seem to unretcon the whole thing about Natsumi and Miyuki being in the academy together. They're back to meeting like they did in the OVA.
Soooooooo, now on to some overall thoughts on the franchise:
It's pretty great. The animation in the original OVA and the movie are top notch. The first two TV seasons are bit formulaic plot wise, but it's all about the characters anyway. The second TV season is where the franchise really hits it's stride. The mini specials are just fanservice filler. You could skip them if you want, but they're fairly entertaning, and it's pretty hilarious when Miyuki zaps that one dude with the car battery. Full Throttle is good, but it doesn't quie live up the previous seasons. They try to crank shit up, but just end up flanderizing the characters, and making Natsumi more cartoony and kind of a mary sue. It's still worth watching for the Ken/Miyuki shippers and for that hilarious Aoi and Yoriko episode.

Once you see it, you'll wish you had skipped it. Also, don't be surprised when the TV show isn't as amazingly animated as the OVA. It just picks up where the OVA left off. It is even numbered episode 5.

Same thing with Slayers. The OVA's are fantastic, and the first season is ok, but past the first season of the series the characters lose all their personality, their IQ drops to double digits, and they all just stand around shouting each others names.

Are you sure it's not your IQ that dropped? The characters and even the setting continue to develop over time, events from previous seasons actual impact the ones that follow. The last two more recent season were kinda bland though. It feels like nothing was really achieved there.
