You’re Under Arrest Full Throttle Episode 7: Natsumi and Miyuki Earn Back My Attention
I was about to give up on the anime You’re Under Arrest Full Throttle right after that sickeningly saccharine Car Lock Baby episode, but the series redeems itself as the girls get down to some actual police work in After That Mysterious Taxi!
Miyuki goes CSI and takes a pipe to the head, while Natsumi goes streetwise and gets wasted. Even Nakajima goes Evil Knievel and busts some heads. All that, and the girls wear cute wigs, too. Finally, we’re seeing the more of the full throttle featured in the first episode.
Congratulations, girls. Even though you got smacked by a pipe and kicked to the curb, you’ve earned back my attention.
You’re Under Arrest Full Throttle: Bring Back Kaoruko Kinoshita!
Anyone else think everyone in You’re Under Arrest Full Throttle is just too damn nice? Even a happy-happy slice-of-life cop show needs a bit of grit to stay believable. Assistant Inspector Kaoruko Kinoshita was always the voice of reason and experience in the franchise. That’s exactly what Full Throttle needs right now, especially after that saccharinely preachy Car-Lock Baby episode.
Really, if the leading ladies are all powered up, then they need to face greater ethical challenges. Inspector Kinoshita is just the kind of tall fierce dominatrix who can help set up those challenges.
