Hyper Police Cels
 Home/Change Series
Hyper Police, based on a manga by MEE (now being translated and released in English), is a 25-episode anime produced in 1997 by Studio Pierrot. It is set in a futuristic world, in which pure-bred humans are an endangered species, needing protection against monsters by a special police force made up of animal spirits and animal/human hybrids. The main character, Natsuki, is a nekomata-half with a human father and a cat-spirit mother, making her sort of a NekoYasha. Her older, more experienced partner, Sakura, is a full-bred kyubi, or fox-spirit, and so she assumes the traditional sly, trickster nature that such beings represent in Japanese legends. Other members of the police force, like Batanen and Tommy-kun, are werewolves who combine dog and human characteristics.
