About This Movie

You're Under Arrest: The Motion Picture is a curious blend of action, comedy, and drama, with a distinct anime flair. Junji Nishimura really captures the chaotic yet oddly humorous environment of a police station. The pacing has this unique rhythm, balancing intense moments and lighter, character-driven scenes. Tsujimoto and Kobayakawa are fun to watch—their dynamic feels genuine, and the voice performances really bring them to life. They tackle serious themes like corruption and camaraderie but don’t shy away from the absurdity of their circumstances. The animation style is vibrant, with a notable attention to detail in action sequences. It’s not the standard anime fare, which makes it stand out in the genre.

Originally released in Japan, 1999.Standard anime format, 1.33:1 aspect ratio.Features a mix of traditional animation and digital effects.Based on the popular manga and TV series.
