A great series with lots of action and humor. In particular the attention to detail in everything from the guns, cars, and locations is absolutely incredible. My only complaint is that the OVA series felt too short, but I suppose there is always the 59 chapters of manga to read.

This series is seriously like TFR's wet dream. A ludicrous amount of research goes into the technical details of the series, and you can tell that the creator is having almost as much fun writing about all the crazy guns and explosives and cars as the characters are playing with them. Good times all around.

I checked this out because I, myself, is a huge huge gun nut. This show does deliver in terms of guns, action, and humor. It has a strong resemblance to 80s and 90s cop/action flicks which is a nice throwback. The amount of detail they put into producing this show is very commendable. The studio actually came over to the US, since this is set in Chicago, to record the car sounds and took pictures of Chicago. The amount of details put into researching the firearms used is also very commendable. I personally checked out the dub first for this since the show is set in Chicago, which is just a habit I have for western themed shows when I need to decide on which audio track I want to use, to my surprise the dub is excellent. The DVD commentaries also state that the Japanese directors are very happy with the dub and US release, so I strongly recommend checking out the dub even if you are a subs elitist because this show just simply flows better in English.
