PREMISE
Exoskeletons and power-suits are commonplace in a near-future Tokyo, and are often used to commit crimes. Japan's experimental ACTIVE police unit fights fire with fire, and also use power suits to keep the peace. Active Raid follows this eccentric police unit's adventures keeping the peace from their train-based mobile headquarters.
LIKED!
+
power suit suit-up/transformation scenes
+
the show was self-aware and ridiculous, and included mechs doing pop idol performances
DISLIKED...
–
first villain arc was a bit rushed
–
2nd cour was lower quality than the first
OTHER THOUGHTS
•
decent blend of CG and drawn animation
CLOSING REMARKS
Goofy, light-hearted show. If its genres and tropes are up your alley, you’ll enjoy it!
