Synopsis by Mark Deming
It takes a bunch of tough cops to deal with a grim future in this slam-bang anime from Japan. In the year 2010, pollution, chemical warfare, and violent crime have made many of the Earth's major cities hellish nightmares in which to live. In a desperate effort to restore order, the Tank Police are formed, a law-enforcement squadron led by borderline psychotics whose dedication is equaled only by their thirst for violence. Just as tough girl Leona becomes the Tank Police's first female officer, they find themselves up against the Cat Girls, a pack of women criminals known for their ruthlessness. Dominion Tank Police was based on characters created by Masamune Shirow, the Japanese comic artist who also created Ghost in the Shell.
