Dominion Tank Police intro (Manga Video release)

[OBOGAN]

I never liked that manga/anime, and all because of the gay looking design of the tanks.

Shirow sucked for this one, GITS is Millions times better in all aspects.

[fearthefurby]

@OBOGAN I personally thought the concept was awesome. Also the author held some affections for this series since he kept Brenten around to cameo in GITS

[njblkm76]

This was my best anime show ever.......

[StockyDoccy]

@njblkm76 do you remember the song ''shake your body moving shake your body moving, ar whoooo ar whoooo''

those two cat women stripped for the police before firing at them. im going to see if someone uploaded on youtube that scene

[Jengirl92]

Now this is anime! Nowadays it seems that anime shows constitute nothing but inside jokes, pedophile humor, bland plots, etc. 70s to early 90s anime is interesting and the best.

[U4rikmind]

i don't like police but i love this house music

[andrewbogard1]

loved it, and boned a part tank is so ikonic that it was used on metal slug.

[deaconkris]

ah i miss the 90's back when Manga was just a bunch of guys with a passion for anime now they were bought out by some yankee company and they became all about buisiness and ripping people off

[IAmTheMikko]

First VHS I saw this Manga Video ad was Street Fighter: The Animated Film.

[tyuru2]

so gay its an apc or ifv not a tank

[rickewjr]

@tyuru2 the little green tank nick named Bonaparte?

[Eriance]

Nothing like oldschool anime, they had content, unlike so much of the new crap.

[StockyDoccy]

@Eriance its been over a year since you wrote this i hope your still alive mate .

i agree everything thats oldskool seems better. disney, anime, music genres old skool cartoons.

ive found my self going through classics ive not watched or watched many years ago and having a blast watching or listening to them.

[JAKAGE12]

this is the first anime i sawwhen i was a kid and i went berserk. it had tits, swearing and violence

[berzerkerbg]

ROFL I remember that manga video intro. Man, I thought it was SO CASH when I was a kid.

[trailersic]

@berzerkerbg because that shit was so cash

[FoodCubes]

Any recommendation on where to buy the DVD?  I read that the DVD isn't as high quality as the old VHS.

[juannakamori]

any idea about the song name? i know this is not the original japanese but i'm interested on :)

[henritje19]

too bad this got a shitty CGI remake I dont hate it because it is CGI but because they all act out of characther

[Drizzlerman]

Dominion tank police is hilarious.

[DaWeedlord]

Gotta love the early 90's dance music....

[escelante]

@DaWeedlord

Pff.... this came out in '86. Nothing 90's about it.

[DaWeedlord]

@escelante

Okay, genius. First off: this came out in 88' not 86'. Second: This music was made in 91' for the 91' USA release. Maybe you should know what you're talking about before you correct people.

[escelante]

@DaWeedlord

Maybe you should change your tampon and relax there, chief. I had been talking about Project A-ko in another thread and it came out in '86, that's the date that I got stuck in my head. Please forgive my mistake, oh great and mighty nerd.

[DaWeedlord]

@escelante

Don't play off that you're an idiot by trying to make fun of me. You obviously watch a bunch of anime all the time, so I think we've figured out who the bigger nerd is. Sorry you were talking about Project-escelante-is-a-fag, but you're still a dumb shit.

[escelante]

@DaWeedlord

Clearly you're the bigger nerd (and douche) because you got butt hurt because I was off by a couple years of the American release. Your comeback was super clever, I bow to your mightiness. All hail DaWeinerlord.

[DaWeedlord]

@escelante

Clearly, you live in a dream world. You poor little fat virgin. You're just upset because you think you know everything, but you're just a dumb ass. I feel sorry for you. Go watch some more cartoons & beat off to anime guys.

p.s. What's it like to not have any friends?

[DaWeedlord]

@escelante Oh, & p.s., p.s. My fiancee saw your pic & said "No wonder he watches cartoons all the time, he's F'n ugly as hell!"

[larosenoire1]

I miss this series.

[Pungopingu]

I love this anime so much it hurts. Thanks for posting this

[Cleric775]

Why is there a shot clip of A-ko and C-ko from Project A-ko? The scene where they first introduce themselves into class? O.o

[PainOfCloud]

lol last time i saw this 15 yeas ago O.o

[dyansis02isgarbage]

the original series is the best.the puma sisters are the shit.

[xxxKINGFROGxxx]

Back to 1990!

[SpairoG]

Oohhhhh Bring Back Memories :D

[pezrock101]

i loved the fact i used to be able to name all the films in that first part and that my video copy of this was so badly dubbed that it was impossible to watch

[darkdragon99]

classic anime I always thought Bonaparte looked a bit like metal slug

[shithoagie]

Bonaparte IS the inspiration for Metal Slug ^^

jesus.....1993 called and wants me back. get me a de lorean, stat

[Heartborne7thSeeker]

@shithoagie ! if I had a Delorean I would drive back and relive the 80's and 90's over and over again,they was th best years there has ever been and ever wil be!

[xenowing85]

man this takes me back to my childhood when I used to watch all manga videos my big brother had.

[Crucades]

gotta love celtic frost in the intro, for around 15 years i always wondered who made that song and by chance i found out in a rock bar who were showing manga! ^^

[gerinja]

I have this series on video cassette but in original japanese language

[KingCharltonHeston]

Tank Police deserved more recognition than it ultimately got.

[kurojin97]

i agree, but you have to look at the total number of episodes created and realize that they clearly made waaaaaay too few of em....( i downloaded the complete series and ovas and said to myself....."that's it?!?!? where's the rest of it?!?!")

[AllisterH]

This, along with the original EL-Hazard: The Magnificent World were two of the rarities in the 90s.

Dubs which I thought not only were as good as the original/subs but actually exceeded the originals/subs in quality.

[KingCharltonHeston]

I actually prefer the dub.

[StoicTwo]

80's music and Anime rocc!

-Stosa!

[Triffid12]

The song is called "The Heart Beneath" by Celtic Frost

[coolstuff2003ad]

The dub intro kicks the shit outta the shitty Japanese one.

[KingCharltonHeston]

I agree.

[pepuli]

quien dice what happening?

[zizuk]

Tetsuo del anime Akira...creo

[dad1153]

This is the rare exception when the US-composed theme song is vastly superior to the original Japanese title song. Catchy too. I haven't heard it since it last aired on the Sci-Fi Channel in the early 90's but as soon as I heard the first two notes it all came flooding back. :-)

[akai454]

Hey, I'd like to ask a general question to any one that might know. When I would rent the original Ghost In The Shell, the very beginning of the video was the MANGA symbol that was on fire in CGI, but they were playing a song that totally sounded like Nine Inch Nails, and it sounded like they were saying "Take It From Me", it was while they were showing clips from many different MANGA Animes. Does any one have any idea what I'm talking about, and know that song??? Tanks.

[duouk2000]

Was probably The Mad Capsule Markets, Manga Entertainment used some of their songs like Pulse in their adverts for other anime they had the rights to.

[akai454]

OOOh, thank you, I'll check it out and get back to you, thank you very much, I hope this is it. Take care. KYLE

[amanapart2001]

It's called Ultra by KMFDM.

[akai454]

Oh My god, thank You thank You, thank You!!!!! This is the song, thank You so very much. Finally I know what that song is, thank You so very Much. Cool, finally I know that song. Thanks Dude, I really appreciate it, finally my search is over. Thanks again, take care, peace.

[GTONeko]

That one's done by KMFDM and as far as the song is called, not too sure offhand, but it was featured (I think first) in the Street Fighter II anime.

[burlz]

KMFDM's song that was used was Ultra.

[Kheperan]

lol i watched this wen i was like 4 lol

[thesnake383]

Starting at 1:23

This isn't the intro shown in Japan...isn't it?

[StriderSoze]

Of all the clips in that opening sequence I recognise;

Fist of the north star

Akira

Tank Police

Project A-Ko

and Venus wars I think

Can someone tell me what else is in there.

[EphemeralShine]

Does anyone know what the name is of the music at the start?

[EphemeralShine]

Celtic Frost - The Heart Beneath...Dont u hate people tha answer there own questions!

[animeblast98]

*manga video

[animeblast98]

um, i dont know the anime, per se, but i do know that you can go to the manha video home site and check it out, cuz im sure theyre still adverising it, you just have to have a keen eye

[taatk1]

Does anyone know the name of the anime shown at 0:48?

[nemesis908]

Manga is as valid a name as Anime.

Anime is a made up french word, which essentially means animation.

I came about after Manga, and now it's considered the norm to call it anime. I still refer to it as Manga.

IMO it sounds much better.

[Shodan117]

what

i thought anime was just the way japanese pronounced animation, without the tion

[Shortwave8300]

LOL. Manga is JAPANESE COMIC! ANIME IS JAPANESE ANIMATION! It's not made up! LOL. Way to show your ignorance buddy.

[nemesis908]

You idiot.

First of all, anime is a shortened french word for animation typically used in conjunction with Japanese animation.

Manga are traditionally japanese comics; Manga are also a japanese animation distributor.

In japan animation is commonly referred to as "Manga". Only weeaboo fags like yourself refer to manga as anime, as if it's the appropriate term.

Way to not know the fuck what you're talking about, "buddy".

[Shortwave8300]

Manga is the comic book. We're not talking about the company. Anime is ALWAYS referred to as Japanese animation. That is the 'trademark' name. You're just some silly dork.

[Shortwave8300]

And I never said manga is anime. I say the exact opposite. You're 23 and you act like a stupid kid. LOL.

[nemesis908]

That last comment destroys any credibility in your argument.

Also, learn to read.

[Shortwave8300]

No it doesn't. I never said manga is anime. It's not anime! You're just a stupid dork.

[bushwhacker2k]

@nemesis908 ... Wait, it's French? Since when? :O

[stefan5445]

@nemesis908

i'm sorry but i believe you are wrong. even if it is nitpicking (which it is alright), in Japan (written) comics (something you read) are called "manga", whereas animation aka "animated movies" are referred to as "anime".

the difference being the rest of the world refers to "anime" as Japanese made animated films, while in Japan "anime" can also refer to animated films made in the rest of the world, no matter the nationality or origin.

[nemesis908]

@stefan5445 You're entitled to 'believe' what you want.

[stefan5445]

@nemesis908

i apologize for my lecturing comment. my "believes" are formed by living in Japan and among the Japanese for a (admitedly) short while however, so i "believe" them to be quite accurate of the factual situation. if i should be deeply wrong however, i am obliged to apologize again. i am by no means an expert.

[kabutosenseiisback]

I always lol`d when it goes BOOM and its Buwaku! XD Nostalgic.

[cryostat31]

Anyone know what tune is playing during the opening? The relentless rock tune?

[Vetis213]

Hi its Celtic Frost - The Heart Beneath.

[Magestrix]

Project A-Ko...one of my all time favorite animes! YES!!!!!!!!

[klined]

mine too

[yban1990]

sublime!!!

[kurojin97]

natsukashii!!!!!!!! thanx for the upload...and i like the anime stuff from the beginning...i remember laughin my ass off at the big ass man-girl on project a-ko, and watchin all the blood and guts from hokuto no ken...brings back a shit-load of memories!!

[iSeenthatB4]

this is been bothering me for awhile.When they drive the tanks the street is constantly destroyed, who pays for the damages???

[HypnoPants]

ah back when anime was an art form, not just a form of business.

[draven26]

Exactly which bits of the Dominion intro did you see akira in Orwell?

[draven26]

The nostalgia of seeing that again, reminds me of discovering Anime for the very first time as a kid

[SpairoG]

oo shit that bring back memories :)

[Jixson]

The tanks look like Metal Slugs (video game)

[iSeenthatB4]

yes very true atleast someone noticed

[reedywomble97]

Great anime series, shame there were only four episodes of Dominion Tank Police, not forgetting the six part series New Dominion Tank Police

[Yavvie]

There was a manga, but yeah -- IMHO Tank Piolice was always Shirows best work. To bad stuff like Ghost in the Shell and Appleseed got more recognition.

(Ghost in the shell in particular was just Masamune stroking his ego anyway.)

[TetsumiKato]

Black Magic M-66 was good, too.

[nexus196]

whats that wolf on 0:31?

[PandoraCaitiff]

Flashback scene from Project A-Ko

[nexus196]

oh i cant find it =P

[terrasidius]

awesome! i miss that manga intro from the VHS from the ninties! "uuugh!" :D

[LordOrwell2]

ok i dont see how this could be an intro to tank police considering i recognized most of the scenes as belonging to AKIRA

[plaidknight]

did you wait for the video to finish loading? this guy ripped the video from the vhs tape; commercials for other shows came before the program's opening.

[LordOrwell2]

oh thanks. No i did not.

[coolstuff2003ad]

did this appear in the origional jap release or just the eng dub?

[gundamredframe]

Both, although the music you hear is for the US release. The DVD version has both the Japanese opening as well as the version you're watching now.

[warzoxky]

great,i found it thx funkgun i own you a beer :)

[warzoxky]

hmm sorry but someone remmenber the pumas dancing in the clinic when the police came?

if you can tell me the name of the song i going to say thx from here to the end of the eternity hehe.

[Funkgun]

Hey Boy

[Funkgun]

They did make a different song for one of the dubs though. But the Japanese one was called heyboy

[warzoxky]

god! this was the version i get a lot of years ago here in spain,i must have it somewhere in beta system,thx m8!

[klined]

The CLASSIC of classics man

[skaitovas]

sry i but you missunderstood me :) the original intro of the tank police is Japanese song :) so i asked is someone knew the japanese song name :)

[Akyho]

the original song is "cherry moon". hot dance in cherry moon

[coolstuff2003ad]

This works better than cheryr moon, heard it on mp3 download, sounds sh't

[Akyho]

i have been able to watch dominion tank police with the ability to switch soundtracks,i have watched the dub that many times i know everything, so it was a shock when i heard the original. hot dance in cherry moon is just the start on all the things that make it feel wrong, alot of the sounds used sound out of place and the music too. i enjoy the music but put it to the dark gritty scenery its wrong, sounds like it should be on puffy pink candy floss clouds, not a warzone in a city.

[coolstuff2003ad]

Sometimes the dub op themes are better than the japanese origionals ops... the guyver for example.

[Zodd381]

Totally agreed. Tank Police is a rare example where not only was the dub track better, but actually ALTERING the sounds and music in the dub improved the show. The Dub soundtrack is something I automatically associate with this series, and it really is much more fitting than the Japanese one. The backgorund music is much more memorable, and establishes the mood so much better, and the sound effects sound better. Plus, the dub itself was fun, well-done and funny, which is a rarity for old titles.

[skaitovas]

this isnt the real music from the cartoon, if sb knows the soundtrack of tank police act 1 please subscribe :) thanks :)

[Yavvie]

Really? It is the intro I had when I bought the subbed version of the anime.

Maybe you are confusing it with "No More Noise" ??

anyway poster? can you put up this intro but without that other stuff that you put up before it?

[Akyho]

yeah as i said on the above, the original is cherry moon, i like both songs, this is one of the few redone songs that are just as good as the original, i adore you is also brilliant even thou its not the orignal ending theme.

[juniorzoramac]

if leonextreme cant see the stupidity in what hes saying i fear for his life. he may actually be too stupid to function. when he says "whatever same thing" hes demonstrating his ignorance for both manga and anime. japanese or not, they are not the same. superman the "comic book" is not the same as superman "the movie"

[JohnnyThunderzzz]

ive both of these two dominion tank police videos and the NewDTP. got them bit by bit very cheap via ebay many years ago when DVD became THE hit.

i really love the song of that preview video. id love to know by whom that was?

also, the thing with 'manga videos', i'm from germany and the animes overhere were also sold by 'Manga Videos' and so many thought animes were mangas too.

[Aprion]

this intro song may be a tad corny, but damn its catchy ^_^ dududu tank police dududu feel the power that we got! to bad its so short. i could listen to it all day.

[LeonXtreme]

Interesting note for those who have seen otaku no video. At one point the movie, a few otaku are made fun of by a guy for standing in line for hours to see a movie and he says something like that it's stupid to do that for a manga. Angrily one of the otaku replies "it's not manga, it's anime!". The guy taunting them says something like "Whatever, that's the same thing.".What this points out is that 'normal' Japanese people wouldn't have any problem calling it a 'manga' either.:D

[gundamredframe]

This movie is a gem, I'm a huge fan of anime from the 1980's and I have several versions of this flim. From VHS to the SCI-FI channel and DVD, this movie will always get my attention no matter what new media comes out.

[HadDunStoldDisThang]

gundamredframe recommend any videos?

[gundamredframe]

Sure! Project A-ko, Wicked City, Demon City Shinjuku and the 90's update to the Tank Police. They're all on DVD and easy to find.

[helmsly2010]

Yeah thats right, a bit like someone calling any cartoon a Disney film.

[ebisufandom]

I think the reason people call it Manga is because they confuse the genre with the title of the company that liscensed it.

Anyway, thanks for the upload it was pretty cool. <33

[burlz]

That annoys me when people call the whole genre "Manga" it's "Anime"

[kawaiisweetgirl]

I remember first seeing this on the Sci fi channel when I was younger.

[sto04084071]

does any one where i can get the song of this tank police ?

[Jubei25]

ahhh sweet memorys thanks for the vid

[Jimkaider]

It's the corniest fucking song, but it's a great memory from my teens and back when anime was considered odd and new and cultish, before it became the norm.

[DEinder]

oooohhh it's coming back......all back...I think.

[darkdragon99]

I always thought the tank looked like metal slug I wonder if metal slug got the design from this anime.

[foryourgore]

right this was on the old videos, but they had previews on other releases.. i recall something like macrosse plus.. and hot dance in cherry moon or whatevr is only in american release.. i think.. or something like that.. memory fades. not sure if it changed with the later releases from new dominion either, may want to ask around

[ChristiRich]

I don't think I ever noticed, until now, that Leona draws a left-handed cross draw in that opening sequence.

[milesd6]

What's that movie with the old guy who takes over his hospital bed?

[CarnagerSDV]

You probably mean 'Roujin Z'? It's created by the same people who did 'Akira'.

[replicantnexus]

aw :s

but what is the song name for UK. because the original songs was sung by Shojo-Tai

[nukem11]

Fuckin class!!!!

[mflolovesKuri]

This is a collection of scenes from different anime for Manga Ent. set to some lame generic metal. Following it is the lame Tank Police opening for the UK market. 1/5 What ever happened to 'hot dance in chery moon'?

[moongags]

Dick! you have no culture
