Whatever you do, don’t buy this copy of the YUA movie. ADV acquired the masters to this and then sat on it for so long that they released a VHS-quality version on DVD: non-anamorphic; missing the 5.1 audio; and from the look of it made from a composite (TV) master.

Fortunately ADV are re-releasing it in February 2005 as it should have been the first time around. Get that version instead. Do not support this crappy release by buying it.
I was quite surprised at just how dark and gloomy You’re Under Arrest!: The Motion Picture is compared with the upbeat and funny situations of the OAV series and the Specials that I had seen from the series previously. While “purists” of the series will likely balk at the dark overtones (which are highly prevalent even in the scenes which take place in broad daylight), all the “negativity” and the terrorizing of Tokyo actually works quite well, with the series’ penchant for comedy coming through at just the right moments for brief levity.
Overall, the storyline is excellent. Mystery, drama, and action are all interwoven into a beautiful narrative which is absolutely enthralling. Yet while prior knowledge of the You’re Under Arrest! series would certainly be beneficial for the viewer, such familiarity with the series is definitely not needed… although the viewer may then wonder about why certain over-the-top feats take place in various scenes.
Where the film fails greatly, however, is in the occasional use of freeze-frames in key, high-action moments. Given that non-theatrical anime is typically produced under a very stringent time schedule and with a sub-par budget, cost-cutting tactics such as reusing scenes (such as the transformation scenes in any magical girl anime) or using freeze-frames to cut down on the number of animation cels (and the time to create them) is not surprising. But for a theatrical-release anime which inherently receives a higher budget and (at least in theory) more time for production to achieve the higher level of quality viewers expect in a theatrical release, the use of freeze-frames is this film’s major pitfall. The freeze-frame concept works well for comedy, such as A-ko jumping from missile to missing in Project A-ko; the freeze-frame concept to highlight a high-action/high-drama moment fails miserably, at least in this film.
The freeze-frame fiasco aside, You’re Under Arrest!: The Motion Picture is definitely not the stereotypical anime offering available in the States. Although this is really not meant for young children, they could probably enjoy this as well. While female characters are VERY prominent in the film, they are not super-endowed or fetishized or denigrated in any way. Nothing is gratuitous in this film, although some of the action is definitely over-the-top. And perhaps most importantly, the flow of the film is so natural and engrossing that it almost feels “real…” at least, until a freeze-frame occurs. Overall, this is a definite must-see film for any anime enthusiast, and a good place to start for those wishing to learn about anime.
