This is an underrated classic for sure, you step into a Mad Max like world with almost everything in it. There is magic, guns ,cops, talking animals, love and etc. very 90s. It is not the best show in the world and it has it's flaws I won't deny that. But is feels ground in the sense you are almost always fowling Natsuki (main character) as she tries to make it through the day and make a buck to through her job. She is a in my opinion a well written main lead that is given time to make the viewer care and want to see her succeed in what ever mess she gets into. The retroness of the show also carries a of weight as I love that old artistly and which it would come back. The show also some really good dialog that I still reference today, and has grown on me since. The one flaw is I wonder if…

Hyper Police is a great setting with some fun action scenarios, hindered mostly by weak writing. To get that out of the way: one-note 90's-era cliches and stereotypes drive almost everything, and the plotting is mostly episodic with gradual changes in the recurring characters, which is enough to keep it alive but not enough to make it inherently compelling. The finale baffles me just as much as ever on a rewatch of the series, almost a decade later: although it's a cool ending, and some of the best writing in the series, the big moments all read as non-sequiturs thrown in to make it try to add up to something.
And all of that is a shame, because the setting is full of little worldbuilding details that bring it alive: The bounty hunting business, the post-apocalyptic cityscape, the street…

Anyone who knows me or is familiar with my reviews will note I have a soft spot for nineties anime. This could stem from my having grown up on nineties anime and feeling a familiar warmth when encountering the older animation style and conventions of this bygone era. But I personally think it stems from my love for anime that treats itself not as some sort of totally serious medium. Many nineties anime, such as Hyper Police, The Slayers, You’re Under Arrest, Great Teacher Onizuka, Tenchi Muyo, etc. understood that they were cartoons and managed to balance silly moments with usually decent stories and typically conventional, but loveable characters. Even the classics like Trigun and Cowboy Bebop combined that comedic, cartoonishness with serious plot.
I like having fun, and the nineties wa…

Although animal people are a famous anime trope it's rare to see a setting where every character is part animal and humans are the minority.
Hyper Police's world is very detailed - from the visual design that always brings new ideas of monsters, characters and mechanics, to the the dialogues that explore laws, ethics and lifestyle, it almost feels like a real parallel universe.
Some episodes focus on side characters and so you get a lot of different approaches to this world. There's a variety ensemble of at least 10 recurring characters, each unique and interesting enough to receive a spin off of its own.
Almost every character has a love interest and the main couple, Batanen and Natsuki, is one of the sweetest ones I've seen. I was on the edge of my sit for every small development betw…

Hyper police is one anime I was interested in but when I seen the entire show, I was disappointed but its not a bad anime to watch. So here is my review of the show.
Story:5/10
The story follows Natsuki who is a rookie bounty and half human/half cat in a world where humans, monsters, and gods live together after mankind has fallen many years back as now in this time they call it the holy era. Natsuki and the other bounty hunters jobs is to keep the peace from many monsters and sometimes human who are trying to breaking it. That's the plot and here is my main gripe. Its episodic. That's the reason why I'm disappointed because there is no plot to speak of until when its at the very end of the show. There are times that does show a plot but mostly its just filler. But they are entertaining e…

Hyper Police, Hyper Police, Radioactive Hyper Police - is tragically both misleading and nothing to do with the anime in question. My lyrical stylings aside, Hyper Police is another mid-nineties anime that I missed the first time around and which I've watched now in my continuing quest to test the operational lifespan of my eyeballs. It share's a certain mid-nineties aesthetic which newer anime fans (or even older ones who lack the myopic eye of nostalgia) may find offputting. But it’s a style I find to be quite enjoyable - probably as it’s the style of anime that was in vogue when I first started watching it and as such formed the mental foundations on which my love of the medium was built.
Anyway, introspective blather aside, Hyper Police is a fairly by the numbers action series with th…
