Inferno Cop has arrived on Crunchyroll and YouTube, offering viewers a chance to experience one of the most unapologetically bizarre projects in Studio Trigger’s history. The series follows the titular lawman as he patrols the streets of Jack Knife Edge Town, dispensing a brand of justice that is as chaotic as the show’s infamous aesthetic. With a premise rooted in revenge against the shadowy Southern Cross organization, it functions as a high-octane, surrealist parody of the police and tokusatsu genres.
Produced in 2012 as an early experiment for Studio Trigger, the show is a masterclass in deliberate, low-budget absurdity. Its jagged animation and nonsensical pacing are not technical failings, but core components of its gag-humor identity. Across its 13 short episodes, the series leans heavily into its own limitations to deliver a viewing experience that is as hilarious as it is structurally unconventional.
For those familiar with Trigger’s more polished hits like Kill la Kill or Promare, Inferno Cop serves as a fascinating look at the studio's irreverent roots. It is a complete, bite-sized binge that demands very little time while leaving a lasting impression on anyone who appreciates experimental comedy.
