Reviews from Letterboxd

1. Tao A — ★★★★★★
   “Cyberpunk as an aesthetic has peaked in Japan in the 80s in the form of anime OVAs. It will never be topped.”
2. DBC — ★★
   “I’m a total sucker for an anime riff on Blade Runner, especially when it gets its dark and glimmering cityscapes just right.”
3. Sid V 🌪️ — ★★★★
   “Can I just live in one of these mid 80s to late 90s Japanimation cyberpunk worlds?”
4. Jason Shawhan — ★★★★
   “This one I have seen but totally forgot about. I absolutely loved the idea of it… a special SWAT-like team dealing with rogue cyborgs.”
5. Doomsday Dreamer — ★★★★
   “Short, stylish, and soaked in the grimy cyberpunk atmosphere that made early ’90s anime so memorable.”

Meta Description:
Experience the dark origins of the Bubblegum Crisis universe in A.D. Police Files, a three-episode cyberpunk OVA featuring rogue androids, brutal law enforcement, and the neon-soaked dystopia of MegaTokyo.
