{{quote|''Everything about ''Angel Cop'' is a little bit "off." The film uses a washed out-looking film stock I usually only see in Japanese low-budget indie movies of the 80's. The animation varies between very fluid and complete crap. (Adding to the strangeness is Yasuomi Umetsu's early touches on episode 1; his emphasis on hand movement and wrinkles in clothing and skin.) The music is unsettling and minimalist, and hasn't aged well. However, I still enjoy the odd, halting ending theme "Itami" (Pain) by the band Crayon-sha. It's a desperate sounding anthem that just has such a bizarre feel that I initially thought the mix got screwed up during the dubbing process. All of this adds this sense of disquiet, this uncomfortable otherworldliness to Angel Cop and its world of big 80's glam rock hair, discos and ESPers, of dripping gore and bullets that seem to pack the destructive power of a stick of dynamite.''|Justin Sevakis|[[Anime News Network]], [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/buried-treasure/2007-11-29 November 29, 2007]}}
'''''Angel Cop''''' is a six-part original video animation directed by Ichiro Itano, but due to the content of the anime, it's usually considered that the driving force of the anime is actually the writer Sho Aikawa. A manga adaptation written and illustrated by Taku Kitazaki was serialized in Newtype Magazine and reprinted as a Newtype 100% collection in 1990.
