AD Police  

AD Police Files

In 2027, six years before Knight Sabers are introduced, Boomers (artificial humans) are still a new development in MegaTokyo. The integration of boomers into society is not yet seamless and can sometimes result in fatal consequences when incidents occur. Whenever such an incident happens, the Advanced Police, a specialized force trained to handle boomer-related crimes, steps in. Leon McNichol, a rookie cop, begins his journey with Gina Marceau, his veteran partner, as they uncover the blurred boundary between humans and machines in MegaTokyo's bustling metropolis.

Initially planned for more episodes, production ceased after episode 3, due to the falling out between Artmic and Youmex. Following the bankruptcy of Artmic, Anime International Company (AIC) and Youmex took on the company's debts, which in turn, AIC would gain most of the IPs and other associated copyrights held by Artmic. Since December 2015, the AD Police IP, along with some of the other IPs held by AIC, have since been transferred to AIC RIGHTS. In North America, the series is licensed by AnimEigo, who first released the series in 1993, on VHS and Laserdisc in Japanese with English subtitles. In September 2015, AnimEigo launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, to rerelease the series remastered on Blu-Ray, with a planned release date of sometime in 2016.
