Tank Police
Can a diminutive tank, armed with armor-peircing
shells and commanded by an impulsive, brash young
woman named Leona, curb urban terrorism? Or will she
cause more damage than the terrorists? Most definately
the former: Leona kicks ass in Tank
Police, going to any (and all!) extremes to
enfore the law, uphold justice, and punish evil. Some
may believe that a tank is a bit less than subtle for
crime fighting, but Leona finds it the perfect tool:
slaming through residences and blasting perpetrator
when they flee into the kitchen, is all in a day's
work for Leona. When she's not beating the coffee
maker to death for being too slow, or yelling up
someone's nose, she's in her beloved tank, stroking
and patting it affectionately.
From the video tape carton:
Kobe, Japan--- 2100 CE:
Urban terrorism in Japan is out of control. Newport
City and its law enforcement agencies begin to
surrender to inner-city crime. The Tank Police are
assigned to restore order, but their ruthless methods
in combating crime only create more destruction and
chaos.

- Episode Two:
- Episode Three:
- Episode Four:
- Episode Five: "CONFLICT CITY." Leona and
Brenten find out that the mayor of Newport City has
been assaulted. When they arrive at the mayor's house,
they see a high-manuever combat robot. Leona rescues
the wounded mayor and heads towards the hospital. To
their surprise, they find out the robot is the
property of the Dainihon Gilken Corporation.
- Episode Six: "END THE DREAMING." With the
news that the mayor is still alive, the two military
research corporations plan an all-out assault on
Newport City Hospital. The Tank Police surround the
building and wait in anticipation for a surprise
attack by Goldsman's combat robot. Will the Tank
Police be destroyed defending their mayor? Will Leona
be able to stop Goldman before he escapes? It's all or
nothing for the Tank Police in this gripping final
episode.
RealAudio(tm) of Tank Police's
ending theme song. "Just Fall In Love (A Million
Times During This Heartrending Night)." Lyrics by Mika
Morioka. Sung by Ayako Udagowa. Starts with Leona
yelling "Fire!" The quality is crappy, but I've no
idea how to make a RealAudio(tm) sound better--- I
wonder if it's even possible. (But the .WAV file is
eleven megabytes large! It's RealAudio(tm) or nothing.)
The song is in Japanese.
