AD Police Files
ADポリスThe year is 2027 in MegaTokyo, six years before the Knight Sabers will make their debut. Boomers (artificial humans) are still a relatively new advancement, and the implementation and integration of boomers into society is still a bit buggy -- sometimes fatally so. Whenever a boomer incident occurs, though, there is the Advanced Police, a special force trained to deal with boomer crimes. Leon McNichol is a rookie in the AD Police, and is just starting to become exposed to the horrors and tragedies one finds every day in MegaTokyo. He and his veteran partner, Gina Marceau, slowly learn about the ever-fading line that separates man from machine.

So this is a prequel to Bubblegum crisis that's suppose to show what kinds of cases the AD police handled before the knight sabers showed up. It's more accurate to describe it as a series of one-shots that explore people's relationships with technology (futuristic prosthesis mainly), sex, pain, and other humans within the Bubblegum Crisis setting.
Whether this show does a good job of that is up for debate. This installment of the franchise still screams 80s, though the visuals seemed a bit lack luster when compared to the original series. I also want to give a warning that this is really violent and depicts a lot of violence against women, so obviously this isn't for everybody. I'm not even sure if I would recommend this to fans of the original show since only Leon gets a small cameo.
If you're interested in 80s sci-fi and how it depicts half clothed women getting killed then maybe check this out?
