With two successful Kickstarter releases under their belt with the already released Bubblegum Crisis and the funded and in-production Otaku no Video, AnimEigo previously set a Riding Bean Kickstarter plan to go up next. Now they’re looking beyond that a bit later as well with the company announcing at Anime Weekend Atlanta that they’re going to do an AD Police release as well. AnimEigo had picked up and released the original OVA series before (ADV Films nabbed the TV series) and had produced an English language adaptation for it. There are no details about the plan for the Kickstarter and what it could include, but it’s likely not going to get underway until early next year as the Riding Bean release is slotted next.

Plot concept: Relentless technological development has resulted in the creation of Boomers, artificially intelligent androids with the potential to free mankind from physical labor. But anything that can be used can also be misused…
AD Police rookie Leon McNichol gets his first lesson in the school of hard choices when he and his partner Geena are given the job of tracking down the cause of several incidents of Boomers running amuck. They soon discover that a defective Boomer is illegally reactivating Boomers which have been scrapped – and one of these Boomers has a vivid memory locked in her mind; the image of the man who destroyed her. The image of Leon McNichol.
