The acting in the series isn't the best, the supporting characters are relegated to a couple of unimportant lines, and (if you want to be really critical) the animation looks a little dated to me, even for an anime from the early '90s. While You're Under Arrest is certainly an enjoyable OVA, it is not without its flaws. With these factors inserted into the plot, this anime explores the adventures of police officers Natsumi and Miyuki for four enjoyable episodes. You're Under Arrest doesn't conjure these images in viewers because it's the complete opposite of the typical cop series this is a show where comedy is at the forefront instead of action, where the only serious crime that people commit is reckless speeding, and where the officers are more concerned with maintaining friendships than anything else (and please don't mention anything to do with romance to these people. When people think of police shows, they conjure mental images of good-cop/bad-cop roles, of homicides and kidnappings, and of undercover officers raiding a criminal hideout. Finally, '94 was the year in which television networks came across a mini-series, a hidden gem if you will, titled You're Under Arrest (YUA). 1994 also introduced the anime world to Marmalade Boy, a well-known school-oriented series.
The Street Fighter movie, based on a wildly popular video game series, briefly fumbled its way into the spotlight. There was the Studio Ghibi film Pom Poko, a story centered around environmental issues. "This police station has been running a lot more like a soap opera," - Chief Kachou (Episode 3) 1994 was a pretty good year for anime titles.
