YMMV / Cop Craft

• Awesome Music: The animation is shoddy, full of still images and atrociously bad CG, but the music is another story.
• Cliché Storm: The series as a whole seems to be attempting to set a record for how many Buddy Cop Show and Cowboy Cop cliches it can cram into twenty minutes. All played very, very straight.
• Complete Monster:
  • Zelada is an extremist who uses acts of violence to incite hatred between humans and Semanians. Initially unseen, Zelada frequently uses the "latena" of fairies to kill others and enslave them as controlled corpses. Introduced posing as a subordinate of the smuggler Dennis Elbaji, Zelada demonstrates a prototype for a "fairy dust" bomb on two police officers. Confronted by San-Teresa Police Detectives Kei Matoba and Tilarna Exedilica—the former of whom recognizes Zelada for slaughtering his platoon when Kei was in the military—Zelada exploits their superior's xenophobia in order to escape to the roof of a skyscraper where he intends to amplify his bomb's blast radius. Seemingly dying by falling off the roof—with his bomb having been defused—Zelada eventually reveals himself to still be alive, having planned the assassination of two mayoral candidates in order to install his own puppet and increase tensions between humans and Semanians. Upon capturing Kei and Tilarna, and killing a reporter who met up with them, Zelada claims to be acting in the best interest of the Semanians, but is called out for his cultural posturing and xenophobia by Tilarna before Kei shows up to confront him.
  • Dennis Elbaji is head of a "fairy dust" manufacturing ring who hides behind his role as an up-and-coming nightclub owner, having abducted over a hundred fairies to manufacture his product for his own personal gain. Introduced having the sorcerer Zelada test a fairy dust bomb on police officers, Elbaji makes Zelada toy with the corpses before having one corpse shoot both. Confronted by Tilarna in his nightclub after harassing her, Elbaji tries to have her shot once he realizes she is on a rescue mission. Subsequently defeating her in a sword fight, Elbaji takes Tilarna prisoner, professing to worship money on the drive to his facility. Later setting his facility ablaze, Elbaji makes a callous quip about how much the fire will cost him when he encounters Tilarna again. Defeated in a final duel thanks to Kei's intervention, Elbaji defiantly curses Tilarna out.
• Special Effect Failure: Much like Millepensee's previous anime effort, the show's animation quality is pretty rough, to say the least. With constant issues involving poor storyboarding and layout, inconsistent drawings and awful CGI. Episodes 3 and 6 take this further and have parts of their climaxes be nothing more than just still images.
• Spiritual Adaptation: The closest thing to an animated version of Bright.
• Suspiciously Similar Song: The opening theme "Paradise City" sounds similar to "Copacabana" by Barry Manilow.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not Political?: Let's see... there is an immigrant crisis, an election involving a populistic candidate who wants to kick the newly arrived foreigners out, race-based riots and politicians who claim drug pushers should be lynched rather than put on a trial. None of this is related with situation in Europe, US presidential elections of '16, #blacklifematters or Rodrigo Duterte becoming president of the Philippines - the source material predates all of those by good few years and it's all just a massive coincidence.
