You're Under Arrest: Season 2 - Collection 1



Finally! The second season of "You're Under Arrest" is brought over stateside! Overall, a fun anime series!
I can easily remember watching the early "You're Under Arrest" (Taiho Shichauzo) OVA's when they were released on LaserDisc back in 1994. It was a special time as fans gravitated towards the animated series which was created by Kosuke Fujishima, know for creating the anime series "Ah! My Goddess". Because of the popularity of "Ah! My Goddess", people were excited for his latest series which is based on a manga that he released earlier in his career.

The series has always been a humorous take on two police officers: The action-driven, very strong and easy to anger Natsumi Tsujimoto (short hair) and the very polite and very smart Miyuki Kobayakawa (long black hair) and their adventures of wanting to take on criminals on the roads and not just being female officers issuing tickets.

Throughout the last decade, "You're Under Arrest" fans have been treated with several OVA's, specials, a movie and television series, and watch as these two complete opposites become...

Finally!
I agree whit the reviewer above. Finally, this series second season is out in the US. I can't really add anything more to the excellent review but to say I have seen the entire second series and the animation quality is 10 times better than the first series.

A note to the YUA fans, a third series has been completed and hopefully will make it to the US soon!

Good second season
The second season of Taiho Shichauzo (You're Under Arrest) doesn't match the high points of the first season's plots, but never sinks to the lows of the first seaon either, and is technically much better animation than the first season. The US release on two sets is quite compact without sacrificing anything that I've noticed.
