However, I can brush past those flaws thanks to the five main characters. The acting in the series isn't the best, the supporting characters are relegated to a couple of unimportant lines, and (if you want to be really critical) the animation looks a little dated to me, even for an anime from the early '90s. While You're Under Arrest is certainly an enjoyable OVA, it is not without its flaws. With these factors inserted into the plot, this anime explores the adventures of police officers Natsumi and Miyuki for four enjoyable episodes. You're Under Arrest doesn't conjure these images in viewers because it's the complete opposite of the typical cop series this is a show where comedy is at the forefront instead of action, where the only serious crime that people commit is reckless speeding, and where the officers are more concerned with maintaining friendships than anything else (and please don't mention anything to do with romance to these people. When people think of police shows, they conjure mental images of good-cop/bad-cop roles, of homicides and kidnappings, and of undercover officers raiding a criminal hideout. Finally, '94 was the year in which television networks came across a mini-series, a hidden gem if you will, titled You're Under Arrest (YUA). 1994 also introduced the anime world to Marmalade Boy, a well-known school-oriented series. The Street Fighter movie, based on a wildly popular video game series, briefly fumbled its way into the spotlight. There was the Studio Ghibi film Pom Poko, a story centered around environmental issues.
"This police station has been running a lot more like a soap opera," - Chief Kachou (Episode 3) 1994 was a pretty good year for anime titles. This show is quite different from the anime, and will probably seem truly bizarre to anyone who's not Japanese, but you can't talk about YUA without mentioning the live series. There's also at least one special not available in English (but there are fansubs), called "You're Under Arrest in America: No Mercy." Finally, if you can't get enough of Miyuki and Natsumi, there's the live-action series (not available in English, but again there are fansubs). Finally, there's plenty of English-language bonus material on the DVD releases. The mini-specials also tend to be a bit racier than the OVA's and TV show. And then there are the mini-specials, a series of 20 eight-minute shorts, which tend to focus on brief episodes in the characters' lives outside of their police work.
(In fact, the director made his Japanese cast watch the English version to get a better read on the characters.) There's also the feature film, which fits in well with the series. It's available dubbed in English-and this is one of the best dubbing jobs in history. You're Under Arrest didn't end with the four-episode OVA.
