Description

See Description

AD Police: To Serve and Protect is an anime series (spinoff of Bubblegum Crisis) that was created by Japanese animation studio AIC, the same people that produced the Tenchi Muyo! series. The 12-episode story revolves around the AD (Advanced) Police, a special attack squad dedicated to stopping rogue boomers. Boomers (pronounced "voomers" in the Japanese version) are humanoid robots that do menial human tasks, such as cleaning, cashiering, and construction. However, some boomers go berserk, and when they do it's up to the AD Police to stop them. The series has a prequel called AD Police Files.

AD Police: To Serve and Protect is available in North America in a 2-disc special edition DVD from ADV Films. The original series is on DVD from Animeigo.

Opening Theme
Title: Imaginary Girl

Lyrics:

Kon'ya mo kimi no maryoku ni sasoware tobikomu Night Tripper
Kono ai ni yousha naku MUCHI wo utsu memai no EKUSUTASHII
Zonou mushibamu amai izanai
Tenohira de odorasareteru MARIONETTO
Fushigi na kimi no miryoku ni torikosa shoutai misenai SHADOO
Nazomeku hodo ni fukami ni HAMA tte mo haya nukedasenai
Gin no NEIRU de HAATO wo eguru
Kimi ha tenshi ka soretemo akuma ka?!

Kikaijikake no GARASU no ningyou
Daite mo sugu ni kieuseru
Tokeijikake no yuganda kuukan
Suteki de futeki na kimi ha dare?...

ORE ha maboroshi ni koishite iru dake na no ka Day Sleeper
Wana da to wakatte ite mo KONTOROORU dekinai
ENPUTI SOORU
BAACHARU no doku karada wo meguru
Doko made ga yume de dore ga genjitsu ka?!

Kikaijikake no koori no ningyou
Furereba sugu ni tokete yuku
Tokeijikake no hizanda meikyuu
Biteki de chiteki na kimi ha doko?...

Kikaijikake no GARASU no ningyou
Daite mo sugu ni kieuseru
Tokeijikake no yuganda kuukan
Suteki de futeki na kimi ha dare?...

Ending Theme
Title: Toki no Naka de (In Time)

Lyrics:

"Even in Hell,
There will be a side of the radiant Light."
That was what you taught me.

If it is without you,
It will be like the far away past,
Unable to lift my spirits,
Even courage fades into emptiness,
Will not even know how to deal with important matters,
And foolishly living on without planning for the future.

On the other side of the mirror,
There hides a fantasia dream,
But it is something I will never be able to grasp.

What do you yearn for?
You never said a word,
Your face only reflects the ashen Darkness.
