Angel Cop/YMMV

---

• Cliché Storm
• Cult Classic
• Designated Hero: Lots of them
• Foe Yay: For someone who claims to be a vigilante for peace, Lucifer seems to feel lust whenever she's trying to kill not on her official hit list. When she attacks Kuwata she makes it perfectly clear she literally plans to rape his mind. When Peace is being held hostage, Lucifer nibbles on her ear (To read her mind), mock Hacker of her hidden love for him, strips her top forcefully, gropes her breast and kills her in front of him. When she confronts Angel in the Generator Room, she let's her know that she's gonna do t her what she did to Kuwata.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • The Japanese bubble burst soon after this OVA was made.
  • Writer Sho Aikawa would later go on to work on the 2003-2005 adaptation of Fullmetal Alchemist. Considering the plot of Conqueror of Shamballa, the blatant Anti-Semitism of Angel Cop becomes pretty hilarious.
• Memetic Mutation: If this is justice, then I'm a banana.
• Refuge in Vulgarity
• So Bad It's Good
• Unfortunate Implications: The villains (at first) are left-wing activists determined to create an egalitarian society. The good guys have no qualms with being employed by a totalitarian police state and enforcing its laws at least at first. Then there's the whole Anti-Jewish theme in the original version of the anime...
• Values Dissonance: In addition to the series' treatment of politics, one of the good guys is also implicitly in a pedophiliac relationship with a young girl.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: Some of the telekinetic scenes are pretty damn neat.
