| The
new AD Police is a remake of the popular OVA anime -"A.D. Police
-Another story of Bubblgum Crisis-" from 10 years ago. The production
staff takes over the previous OVA series' world view and adds more
up-to-date subject matter and expanded shoreline to match the current
early 21st century world.
The
main character, Kenji Sasaki, is a young man who has grownup in
an environment lacking of family background and almost no need to
communicate with other human beings. He only depends on himself
and completes his work perfectly, but somehow, we can see in his
reflection the loneliness in the masses and distortion of human
relationships in the modern world.
In
this new TV series, Kenji meets two people who influence his life
and lead him out of the shell that he has locked himself up in. One
is his girlfriend, Kyouko, who also feels lonely. The other one is
Kenji's partner, Hans, who lost his memory of the past. Hans loves
human beings and wishes to make the best of his life. But even Hans
has a secret...When Kenji learns Hans past, it is the first time in
Kenji's life that he understands the feeling of "friendship"
towards other human beings.
For
a long time, "Life" is a miracle that was given by God
and it is hard for human beings to impinge on God's authority. But
in modern world, we create artificial internal organs, organ transplants,
artificial insemination and cloning technology. We are gradually
"forced" not to believe "Life" is a miracle.
Human beings go further into God's territory as they move further
into the future. How are we going to identify ourselves as human
beings? That is what we ask viewer in this new AD Police.
Two
young men, Kenji and Hans who are searching their own identities
meet and develop a precious friendship from their own bitterness...a
near-future human drama is just beginning...
