The infamous 1989 OVA series Angel Cop has arrived on Crunchyroll, complete with both English dub and subtitle options. This six-episode run plunges viewers into a dystopian future where a special police unit, the 'Angel' squad, battles rampant terrorism and a brutal criminal underworld.
Angel Cop is an exercise in extreme cyberpunk action, blending gratuitous gore and a bleak, politically charged narrative. The story follows the elite operative Angel and her partner Raiden as they hunt down a trio of psychic killers known as the Hunters, who are executing criminals in increasingly gruesome fashion. The series is adapted from a manga by Takuya Matsushita, known for its mature and violent themes.
Be warned: Angel Cop is not for the faint of heart. Its reputation precedes it, built on explicit violence and a relentless pace that defined a certain era of OVA production. Its availability on Crunchyroll offers a chance to revisit or discover this cult classic of adult-oriented anime.
