Discotek Media picked up the rights to the Angel Cop property last month and they’ve now set an August 28th, 2018 debut for the Blu-ray edition. This release is remastered and upconverted from the existing standard definition materials as it’s an old show that doesn’t look like good source materials survived for. It’ll include the original Japanese language track with edited and unedited subtitles along with the English dub.
The OVAs were released back in 1988 and were written and directed by Ichiro Itano with Nobuteru Yuki handling the character designs. DAST Corporation and Studio 88 handled the animation production.
Plot Concept: To combat rising attacks by communist terrorists, Japan has created a special security force authorized to use lethal force. Angel, the newest member of the force, fights to take down the terrorist group, Red May. Accidentally uncovering ties between Red May and the government, she and the rest of the Special Security Force are targeted for execution by 3 “hunters”, enhanced psychics, working for the government. Together with her cybernetically enhanced partner, Raiden, it is up to Angel to stop them.
