Katsumi arrives in Tokyo expecting a hospital visit and walks straight into a monster attack that treats her like it's been waiting for her, this movie doesn't waste time explaining what you need to know, it just drops you into the part where everything already makes sense to everyone but you. The 1991 OVA energy is all here: weird practical sci-fi, women who actually know what they're doing, and a plot that feels like stepping into the second act of a larger story that doesn't care if you're lost. It's a specific kind of 90s thrill, the kind that assumes you're smart enough to catch up or brave enough not to ask questions.

Katsumi Liqueur, an American woman of Japanese descent, comes to Tokyo to see her mother, Fuyuka, who is ill in the hospital. When traffic stalls her taxi, she cuts through an alley and stumbles onto two policewomen battling a monster. Their chief, Rally Cheyenne, somehow seems to have been waiting for her, though the two have never met. The officers want Katsumi's help against the creature, but she refuses to believe in magic and pushes back. Years later, in 2028, Katsumi serves with the AMP, a secret squad of gifted female officers in Tokyo who fight a demonic force called Lucifer Hawk. When a battle at a huge skyscraper still under construction turns personal for her, her memories return to 2024 and her first brush with the supernatural.
