Watch Dominion Tank Police For Free

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

I'll tell you why so serious

A different way of telling a story

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

I saw this one way back in the day when the Sy Fy channel was the Sci-Fi channel and actually played more variety of stuff than the do now. So I do not remember it exactly except I watched it all one night and I was thoroughly enjoying it when it kind of just ended in almost a cliffhanger and there was no more movie. So I was rather disappointed with that, but from what I read here they just never really completed the story that came from a Manga comic. The story is about a police organization that uses tanks to track down criminals and take them out. A new female cop who is not exactly wanted by this particular branch of the force and does not exactly endear herself to the chief as she destroys his favorite tank is a bit of the focus in this one. Not entirely though as is expected from an anime movie. She ends up making a little tank out of the remains of the chief's tank and that makes up a bit of the first half of the story. The second bit of the story is rather interesting as it focuses more on the villains of the piece and I began to get a sense that the bad guys were not all that bad. Then it just ended, I just wander how it ended? I guess I could go online and try to find the last bit in comic form, but it still ticks me off that they never finished it in animated form. Still, it had laughs, it had action and it had mystery...to much mystery as they never cleared it up in movie form.

Dominion Tank Police is without a shell of a doubt, one of the most amazing shows ever produced, but not just in the field of animation. While the first part (Acts 1 and 2) mostly consists of action and fun, the second part is more serious and one should not treat the second part in the exact same way as first part. The subtleties are truly out of this world and the characterization is beyond brilliant. You must have an extra degree of intelligence to appreciate the intricacies of the second Part (Acts-3 and 4). I do have some complaints though. In the first part, the Tank Bonaparte quite literally jumps over a tank shell and it did not make any sense at all. One might also question the plausibility of Bonaparte jumping on the wing of Helicopter Gunship even though it was cool. Buaku rules.

One of the first OVA's ("original video animation") I ever bought, this still has to be one of my favourite anime titles. A cyberpunk sci-fi action comedy set against an unlikely (for a comedy, that is) background of near-future pollution in a dystopian society.The "heroes" of Dominion are the Tank Police, formed with a "if we can't beat crime, we'll get bigger guns" philosophy, and who are, like the name suggests, patrolling the city in tanks instead of patrol cars, and who are actually far more dangerous than any criminals they are trying to catch. Most, if not all, of these cops are borderline(?) psychopaths and neurotics, giving new meaning to the phrase "loose cannons".Equally colourful and amusing are their adversaries, terrorist Buaku and his hench(wo)men, the Twin Cat Sisters, whose existence always seems to involve giving the Tank Police a hard time.The animation is not state of the art, but it's very nice otherwise; the colourful palette and cartoonish look of the characters and mecha fit nicely with the comedic atmosphere of Dominion.The English dubbing is, again, lots of fun. The soundtrack of the English version is also very good. I wonder if they ever made a soundtrack album of that...Anyway, Dominion Tank Police is great. It's Japanese cyberpunk SF with lots of comedy, filled with completely over-the-top characters and situations, making sure that it never takes itself seriously. Highly recommended.

Dominion tank police is an exercise in contradictive film making. The storyline across the 4 parts blends mindless action, slap-stick humor, touching humanity and thought provoking philosophical questions. It's hard to believe that there was only one director, as the style changes from episode to episode. A must-see movie for anyone who likes anime.
