Written By Ken HulseyPicture a wild future where hospitals are only for the perfectly healthy, the two hottest women in town are part android, and the criminals are so outrageous that the police need tanks to handle them. Welcome to Newport, Japan—our fictional playground and the setting for Koichi Mashamoto's quirky 1988 anime series, "Dominion Tank Police."
As the adventure kicks off, we discover that the "Tank Police" have been stirring up trouble—turns out they're causing more chaos than the criminals themselves! You can imagine the local government's frustration as they start plotting to put a stop to these law enforcers-turned-menace. What a twist!
Enter Leona Ozaki, a former motorcycle cop, who boldly requests a transfer to the "Tank Police" because, well, she thinks tanks are adorable. Now, Charles Britain, the leader of Newport's Tank Division, doesn't exactly fancy having a distraction in his all-macho squad. So, what's his solution? He shoves Leona behind the controls of the biggest tank around, hoping it’ll scare her off. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t!
Now, let’s meet the real troublemakers! Buaku is the mastermind behind a small gang notorious for bank heists and general troublemaking. He's got his two sidekicks, the sultry AnnaPuma and the fierce UniPuma. They hatch a zany plan to break into a hospital to swipe urine samples for a mysterious bigwig known as Mr. Big. Everything's going swimmingly until their stolen ambulance crashes into Leona’s colossal tank. Uh-oh! Britain is furious that his precious tank is scratched, and Buaku, in a panic, blasts him—classic mix-up!
After her run-in with the behemoth tank, Leona decides to get crafty. She gathers spare parts from behind the police station to create her own mini-tank, lovingly named "Bonaparte." With Britain reluctantly on board, Leona partners up with fellow officer Al Cu Ad Solte to take the fight to Buaku and his gang with their pint-sized powerhouse.
But wait! Just when you think it's all fun and games, the series takes a surprising turn from whimsical shenanigans to some serious philosophical musings. We find out that Buaku was a "test dummy" for the mysterious "Greenpeace Crolis Project." After somehow dodging disaster during a government raid that wiped the lab clean, he gets his hands on a quirky nude portrait of himself—yes, you read that right! He uses it to infiltrate the wreckage of the Greenpeace lab in search of the truth about his own identity. It’s a surprisingly deep twist for a series that began with such lighthearted charm. Who knew tanks and androids could lead to such existential crises?
