Customer Reviews of You're Under Arrest: DVD Collector's Box 1
What a good series and this is just set 1 Character development is key in this series. The rather brash Natsume joins Bakooko Precinct and is teamed up with the sweet and punctual Miyuki. They're both charming, likable and pretty cute to boot! ^^ While they may have somewhat opposite personalities, they're both incredibly fun to watch, and it's interesting to see the friendship between the two develop. They're supported by several other characters including the resident gossip, Yoriko, the tough yet shy motocycle cop, Nakajima, and their stoic, yet kind police chief.
reviewer steven ressel was right about EP 1-4
After reading Steven ressel's remarks about ep 1-4 where the camera floats around & was innovative was on the mark.

>It's interesting to compare the camera work on those episodes to be very matrix-y ie the wachowskis may have been inspired to mimic the movement as these episodes occurred in 94-96 while matrix came out in 99.

>And the level of detail in drawing & coloring is very close to flimic as anime can come close to for TV.

Split rating on great package...
AnimEigo always makes nice packages. Bits of design are a bit stodgy or pedantic, but over all they really give nice finish to most all releases in grade A effort to give fans something to cherish. Naturally, thats on top of what is contained on the DVDs. The recent rise of 'cool' packaging on anime such as this, RahXephon, FLCL, Ninja Scroll 10th anniversary, OMG movie, are all great thrusts to boost anime releases above bargain-basement video. And I salute the effort, honestly, dotingly, and....whatever...
Anyway, YUA box set one is a split rating. The first DVD has the four previously rleased OVA episodes made in the early 90's by a brilliant crew of writers, directors, animators, designers breaking the stale rules of story and art in animation. Perhaps, most enlightening to me is the use of layers and camera to give speed and intrigue to any chase. They took the camera and broke it from it's usual, formal X-Y axis of movement and were just FLOATING it around. On top of that, a careful, and BRILLIANT use of color, light and lighting effects gave a super-real feel to this cartoon while suspending disbelief and thrusting my into a super stylized, romanticized version of their reality where pregnant cats and jerky speed demons take precedence in life, and awkward relationships define the qualities of the characters and stories. When you think that this was shot under camera, with all the double and tripple passes, and mattes used to bring out backlights and transparencies, it is truely a marvel on the level of Disney's old 'Ghost Chasers' (?) short with Donald, Goofy and Mickey. Technically and entertainment wise, these OVAs are the best bargain. TRUE 5 STARS, and the reason I really purchased the box set.
The remainer of episodes are from the TV series (disks 2 AND 3), and I assume only half a season or less. Quality drops substantial (to be expected), but more disappointing is the lack of cohesive writing. The stories are fun, and do make sense, but the world changes for the worse as a 'siperhero' called STRIKEMAN becomes a primary tool in crafting the season, and a crossdressing dude shows up to help the plice station...however, he can't stop being a woman, so he becopmes the SEXY girl on staff, but hides a special something. Miyuki and Kenny's relationship kind of warbles along at an awkward distance, never really going anywhere. The art is pretty ancient; looks like old Macross from 1981, or maybe cheap A-ko sequels from 1986. The technical and writing aspects of the OVAs are lost. However, the stories are still enjoyable in themselves.
The fourth disk contains extras, however I haven't thoroughly scanned over them. I saw some artwork that looked pretty horrid, and wondered why it was included. Aside from that, I can't say what is on the disk.
If you are a fan of the manga or works of Kosuke Fujishima, buy it. If you want the OVAs alone, you might want to buy only the first disk if it is available.
