Summary
- AD Police's cult classic series is being remastered in 4K.
- Original film materials, once thought lost, have been recovered.

The cult classic AD Police anime series, which faced production issues and cut short releases since its 1990 debut, is set to receive a significant revival. Film materials for the series, which were previously reported as lost by AnimEigo in 2022, have been rediscovered.
At Anime Expo 2026, AnimEigo announced a full 4K remaster of AD Police, sourced from the original camera negative. This upcoming Blu-ray/4K UHD combo release will feature newly updated subtitles alongside the existing U.S. and U.K. dubs. Fans can also anticipate a new interview with Lou Bonnevie, whose music is featured in the series.
The remaster is scheduled for release in January 2027. AD Police, set in 2027, follows Leon McNichol's early career dealing with cyborg crimes, five years before Bubblegum Crisis. AnimEigo also announced other English releases, including Sakon the Ventriloquist and Baby & I, along with the first HD release of House of Five Leaves.
