      The anime's bucolic atmosphere is juxtaposed with assorted wonders to   
   jolt the viewer's expectations:  odd new species of plants and animals   
   grow alongside the unrepaired roads, a giant swan-like aircraft is   
   occasionally seen high in the sky, a female sea-spirit seeks the company   
   of children.  It is a slow, almost plotless travelogue with visuals and   
   skyscapes comparable to Miyazaki (IMO) rendered in a watercolour-style   
   form very similar to the manga.  The OAVs have been fan-subtitled and   
   made available on BitTorrent from Anime Coalition/NewLife Anime and   
   BakaMX/Oretachi.

      YOU'RE UNDER ARREST! (a.k.a. TAIHO SHICHAUZO!):  The adventures of   
   Natsumi Tsujimoto and Miyuki Kobayakawa, two female police officers on   
   the Bokutoh City police force and their day-to-day adventures.  Set in   
   a more or less present day city.  Good animation and artwork.  Good   
   clean fun.  Little if any violence or gore, and only some innocent   
   flirting on the sexual side.  Both OVA and TV series has been made.   
   Based on a manga by Kosuke Fujishima, the same guy who did OH MY   
   GODDESS!  There's also a TV series that hasn't been released yet in   
   the US.  Four OVAs.  From AnimEigo.

      [The TV series has been released by AnimEigo.  There is also an   
   excellent YOU'RE UNDER ARREST movie, which has a tone somewhere   
   between the YOU'RE UNDER ARREST OAVs and the PATLABOR movies, and a   
   series of "Mini-Specials" that are almost completely humourous - these   
   have been released by ADV Films.   - Rob Kelk]
