Kenji and Hans start by punching each other and never stop being a reason to watch, even when the show recycles the same boomer-gone-wrong scenario for the fifth time. The procedural structure actually holds, each case escalates what you thought you knew about the conspiracy underneath Mega-Tokyo's streets. It's pure 90s cyberpunk comfort food: neon-soaked, partner-banter focused, utterly content to be a solid B-tier entry in the Bubblegum Crisis universe instead of something it isn't.

A few years before the events of Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040, Mega-Tokyo relies on a dedicated police unit to keep rogue Boomers under control. Officer Kenji Sasaki has just lost yet another partner to a Boomer gone wild. After a day off duty, he is assigned a new partner, a German officer named Hans Kleif. The catch is that Kenji punched Hans in a bar the night before. Now, on top of the daily danger of containing Boomers, Kenji has to find a way to work alongside the man he struck. The show mixes sci-fi action with mecha elements across twelve episodes.
