Series Plot Summary

Leona Ozaki joins Newport City's infamous Tank Police division. With aid of Al and her newly built mini-tank, Bonaparte, she wages war on Buaku and his cohorts, the Puma Sisters.

My Thoughts on the Series

As you would expect from the title, this series is all about police with tanks. It takes place in a futuristic world wrought with air pollution. The basis of this future is interesting. So many people are sick from the pollution that hospitals only accept healthy people because they want to find out why they're healthy with such odds against them. The series focuses on the heroine and the villain. The heroine is a tough police woman trying finding her way with the Tank Police. The bad guy (who's not really so bad) is your average silly, fat criminal. As the series progresses these two characters cross paths and discover some dirty secrets about their world. This is a fun series to watch. I recommend it!

Buy From Amazon

You can buy this series from Amazon. It goes for around $100-200 (US) - wow. Just download it lol.

Download

Tank Police can be watched or downloaded from Archive.org (Internet Archive), or downloaded via torrents from Nyaa. These sites are the best, safest, and most dependable resources to get anime for free.

Notes

• To cast the videos to your TV using AirPlay or Chromecast, press the button. This button becomes available when you start playing the video.
• The playable video is English dubbed. If you want Japanese language with subtitles, you need to download Tank Police from Nyaa.
• Archive.org tends to be slow. Downloading Tank Police from Nyaa is better. Additionally, Nyaa most likley offers a higher quality video, or even a Blu-ray quality video.

Notes

• If you don't know what torrents are, YouTube has tutorials. Be mindful that torrent downloads aren't instant. Depending on your Internet speed and number of seeds, it could take up to 24 hours for an anime to download.
• If you need a torrent client, these are the best (they're all free).
• The majority of video downloads from Nyaa are in “MKV” format, and less commonly in “AVI”. If you need a good video player to play these formats, VLC Media Player is the best (and it's free). It's available on every OS, including iOS and Android.

Is the MKV too big?

If you download a large Blu-ray quality MKV from Nyaa, it is possible that your computer or phone/tablet isn't fast enough to play it at full speed. In this case, you can use HandBrake. It's a free video converter; use it to shrink down the video. If you need help using HandBrake, YouTube has tutorials. Another option is to use Plex (mentioned below) because it automatically downsamples large videos when it streams them to your TV.

Playing on your TV

The easiest way to play MKV and AVI videos on your TV is with Plex. It streams movies from your computer to your TV through your Wi-Fi. It's a free app. Install it on your Windows or Mac, then install it on your set-top box (Apple TV, Roku, Fire sticks, etc.). Just note that Plex will only detect these movies in an Other Videos library because the “Movies” library doesn't detect rare/obscure anime classics. If you need help, YouTube has tutorials.
