Plot

Kochira Kameari Kouenmae Hashutsujo is one of the funnier animes that I've come across. The story's about a cop who is the laughing stock of the entire department and his reluctant team work with a much more sophisticated FBI agent. They are both trying to stop a bomber named Benton who is destroying the buildings of a hated businessman. I can't really say much about the animation here. It lacks detail, which really is OK for comedies such as this, but different characters could have used different facial expressions, different clothing and the like. The touch of drama in the middle and end of the anime was nice, yet it could have gone much further. Yea I understand it's a comedy but there is so much lost potential in this story that it made me give it a 6 of 10.
