  Dominion Tank Police
Desperate times call for desperate measures, as the cliché goes, and the main purpose of the Tank Police are to make sure that a crime doesn't happen every 35 seconds.
The Tank Police will surely be able to stop the thieves and unravel the mysteries, but they'll blow up lots of stuff along the way.
DOMINION is not a show for Shirow fans, at least not the ones who enjoy his cerebral-tinged books.

 Dominion Tank Police Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Her chance shows up promptly when on her first patrol run behind the controls of the boss' 25 foot steel monstrosity, she happens upon a crime in progress, the notorious criminal Buaku and his beautiful-as-they-are-deadly henchmen, the cat sisters Annapuna and Unupuma are busy running from a theft at a mysterious research hospital.
Now the Tank Police are out looking for their kidnapped rookie, who's trying to escape, and the cat sisters are looking for their boss, who is trying to figure out what this painting has to do with his mysterious past and why it seems so important to him.
In all, Dominion is an anime classic, and is worth a look if you enjoy light, wacky (and occasionally a bit sadistic) comedy with an occasional dose of convoluted plot and philosophy.

 Dominion
The short temper and Type A personality of police tank commander Leona Ozaki and the daily events of her Newport Police Station (Hyogo Prefecture, Shinhama City) are depicted in loving slapstick (fortunately there isn't area unit like this in Japan).
She was an ex police motor cyclist and a friend of Leona (in the OAV series she was in the motorcycle division before going to Tank Police).
The Police is very happy about the positive conclusion of the crisis (not so much Leona because Al has damaged Bonaparte to protect her), but in reality the truck was only a diversion to drive away the Police from the port.

 STC - Shotgun Reviews - Anime - Dominion: Tank Police
Hopefully there was also that stupid police chief that looked so cool on all of the "cavalry to the rescue" tank scenes and the animation was not so bad.
And the chief of the dominion tank police was simply a great character (but damn he ressembles inch for inch the captain in Air Bats as well).
I don’t remember much about Dominion Tank Police other than the fact that I probably laugh a few times and I ain’t even sure it was the show, might have been a few jokes Valheru told me 2 weeks earlier that I finally understood (see, I do have women chromosones in me).

 AAW: Dominion Tank Police Review
Dominion is an anime classic with a little bit of everything: lovable characters, fun action in abundance, silly humor in all the right places, and (true to Shirow form) a really convoluted plot.
Not to say that Dominion is the best of the lot, but it captures his comedy-sprinkled drama and the feel of the original manga version very well, despite some significant changes to the story.
In all, Dominion is well worth a look if you enjoy light, wacky (and occasionally a bit sadistic) comedy with an occasional dose of convoluted plot and philosophy, though the second half of the story is a bit slower and more philosophical than the first, so come prepared.

Under fire from the Mayor for excessive force (duh, tanks in the city?!) and under pressure from the cheif to get results, the Tank Police have a hard time doing their job against Buaku and his gang.
While Tank Police is primarily a comedy, there are some more serious moments during the 4 episodes as Buaku turns out to be more than just a violent psychopath.

 Animefringe: Reviews - Dominion Tank Police
Dominion Tank Police is Masamune Shirow's vision of an absurd, yet almost eerily believable potential future.
Underneath all of the bizarre events, there's a story about the essence of humanity and what constitutes a soul, though many people may be too distracted by the tanks tearing up the streets, causing millions of dollars of collateral damage wherever they travel.
The story is told from the eyes of Leona Ozaki, a new recruit to the armored tank division of the police department.

Okay, this is a time in the future where the police have an elite force of tank-driving men and woman (that's right, no plural) to clean up the town.

 Dominion Tank Police Editing Report
Overall, the nudity in "Dominion Tank Police" is mild and playful, and doesn't do more than "flash" the viewer.
The intended audience for "Dominion" is at least in its mid-teens, rather "cute" character designs notwithstanding -- actually, they're cute because "Dominion" is a comedy, and it's typical for anime and manga characters in a comedy to be drawn cutely (i.e.

The plot revolves around a young police officer named Leona Ozaki, the first female recruit to New Port City's infamous Tank Police battalion, led by the trigger happy ultra-macho Brenten.
Shirow's writing steams along wildly, with scenes of office bliss quickly interchanged with the mayhem and carnage caused by the Tank Police's utter disregard for the law and order they are sworn top protect.
Buildings are destroyed, towns razed,and by standers are ignored as the almost primeval force of the Tank batalion hare around the city with little care except the thrill of the chase.

First off i may help to explain the relation of the OAV's to Dominions story as a whole.
as yet at least), which some discount from the other Dominions as a "parralell universe" but i personally think still fits into the over all theme of Dominion, though it should be though of as being set upto a few years after the last OAV, there is much shuffling of characters and Tanks.
Anyway, other than what i have outlined above the first dominion OAV's (Acts 1-4) style reminds me alot of the dark squalid streets of Blade Runner and it seems apparant to me that the landscapes of Dominion Tank Police takes some influence from the film.
