Based on a manga series drawn by the legendary [[ShirowMasamune Masamune Shirow]] (although altered greatly from its source material,) ''{{Dominion Tank Police}}'' covers three {{OVA}} series, the first of which came out in 1988. The story is set in a future Japan filled with so much bacterial pollution that people have to wear gas masks outdoors. Policing this crime-ridden dystopia is a police squadron comprised entirely of rag-tag tank-driving misfits -- who may be an even ''greater'' threat to the civilians of the city than the criminals themselves are.
