You're Under Arrest

Postby Mangafanatic » Sun Apr 25, 2004 12:16 pm

Can anyone give me any information on "You're Under Arrest"? Can anyone give me any information on it? What's it like content wise? Sorry if there's another thread like this but I couldn't find it.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I've seen a couple episodes, and it's from the same guy who did Oh! My Goddess, so it should be expected to be around that content level (11-13 age range). They talk about a cross-dressing cop that gets in a little trouble, though I haven't seen those episodes. The AnimEigo version I saw seemed pretty clean otherwise.

It's a hilarious series about a policewomen duo...I've seen both anime seasons and the live-action season as well. It's all fun and hilarity so don't expect very serious police work; the plots are very coherent yet sometimes rather shallow. But it's great fun. Had me in stitches many, many times. ^^ Yeah, there's that thing about Aoi, a male cop who had formerly worked undercover dressed as a girl who had managed to "grow into" his role even after his stint and his consequent trouble in choosing the appropriate locker/shower room. But it's all clean. As far as I'm concerned, Aoi shows no sexual attraction to either gender, but then that's debatable (you know how fans are).
