Loved this series back in the late 80s!
In a dystopic and cyberepunkish Tokyo, IA robots are getting rogue. Perhaps that pesky technological GENOM corporation has something to do with the issue.

In my country several pirated episodes were distributed with adhoc subtitles and spanish dubbling. Sadly the original series was never finished, but it inspired a complete anime series under the same premise.
There is this funny cop show, “You’re under arrest”. (Taiho Shichauzo) It got into animation media on the mid 90s, but its based on a 80s manga.
Two female cops and many funny characters, and great vehicle chases.
I think anime animation quality peaked in the 1980s. There have been great ones before and after, but I’ve watched a lot from this period and I think the most impressive series (as far as animation quality goes) might be Zeta Gundam. The visual quality in a TV series is just unreal!
