Had to check my notes to rejog me noggin' regarding AD Police, and this is the insight old/younger meeee had to share (ima assume each sentence covers one ep). Either that or 'tis a haiku.
--Why it'd be bad to sex robots: they'd get passionate and kill
--Why it'd be bad to say sex sucks with a lady whose sexual organs were replaced: she'd get angry and kill
--Why it'd be bad for a lady to rub herself on a cyborg: it'd feel nothing and kill
Rated 5/10. Definitely buying.
Bloody diversity... ruins everything. First our jobs, then our culture, and now they come for our anime. When will it ever end!?
Bar Monster - which tbh I'm not THAT excite for split into two, given a 70+ ep rewatch X Urusawa mystery pacing - I'm rather disinterested in most of discotek's licenses. AnimeEigo release far more interesting-to-meee stuff, allah Kamui/Black Jack. Would like more UY/CH/KORs, less... random mecha anime that history likely wisely chose to forget. Ikkoku I now know stuck in eternal limbo but surely some other classics of non-mecha variety exist.
@RWH I agree t'would be good if they rescued some of the more forgotten licenses, like Desert Punk and Speed Grapher. They could even do their SDonBlu ting if as assume only DVD in JP. Gonzo stuff there little chance of HD.
There's also stuff Central Park Media did in desperate need of a re-release: Now and Then, Here and There. Even if just a basic DVD quality rerelease, CPM's DVDs were so poor it'd be night and day--internet fan releases look excellent in comparison. Junkers Come Here - one of the best unknown anime films - I'd love to buy again, etcetc.

And that's not the craziest thing with that OVA, that would be the tonal dissonance from Bubblegum Crisis that it's a spin off from.

No doubt, but I took that statement as referencing titles that Crunchyroll no longer has any rights to, including streaming.

AoA aren't above sitting on rights either. P4TA and P4GA are both oop for years and haven't been available for streaming for at least 5 years either before suddenly being made available yesterday on YouTube of all places until August 19th.

It skipped my brain that AD Police and Bubblegum share the same universe.
Granted, I'm no cyberpunk anime afficiando, yet I do recall two things Bubblegum: all-girl, moe before moe, crime fighters (with one that sings about hurricanes) + body form fitting attire. Where as AD only gore/sex/grim remain in distant memory.
The OVA era is something of a fever dream when viewed today, 'innit.

Oh I don’t doubt they’re sitting on/hoarding some good IPs like the CEO from Smiling Friends.
In any case hopefully Discotek can deliver some surprises, though an educated guess would be more Lupin TV Special Collections - I’d also like to get Part 2 reissued in SDBD or BD if they’re able to do so.

I might have said this before but crappyroll sitting on series they have unfortunately licensed is akin to disney sitting on their most popular films and letting them rot. I think that any anime that crappyroll licenses should have a non exclusivity clause that states that if it's not released in a physical format in a reasonable amount of time then the rights to it return to the creator(s).
