History YMMV / YoureUnderArrest

* NeverLiveItDown: Natsumi really wishes Strike Man would stop calling her "Homerun Girl". To her chagrin, not only does he [[InsistentTerminology continue to address her as such]], it eventually sticks; as seen in episode 25, [[FunnyMoments when even the newspaper refers to her by her nickname!]]

* UnfortunateImplications: In one of the File 2 mini-specials, Natsumi and Miyuki go undercover to catch a mugger who targets victims at night while [[spoiler: wearing a monster costume]]. [[HystericalWoman Miyuki's]] fear of the dark and [[spoiler: monsters]] causes her to [[SecrurityCling cling to Natsumi's arm]] the entire time. A passing couple happens to spot them and gets [[MistakenForGay the wrong impression about them]], which causes Natsumi to become upset and make the following remark:

-->'''Kachou: (aloud, to himself)''' "You're [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan a good girl]], Tsujimoto. If only I were twenty years younger...."

* NeverLiveItDown: Natsumi really wishes Strike Man would stop calling her "Homerun Girl". To her chagrin, not only does he [[InsistentTerminology continue to address her as such]], it eventually sticks; [[FunnyMoments as seen when the newspaper refers to her by her nickname]], in episode 25.

* NeverLiveItDown: Natsumi really wishes Strike Man would stop calling her "Homerun Girl". Sadly, not does he repeatedly refer to her as such, it sticks, as seen [[FunnyMoments when the newspaper refers to her by her nickname]], in episode 25.

* SoBadItsGood: The ''No Mercy'' OVA. It's full of CrazyAwesome but is also incredibly {{Narm}} filled. Everyone has a [[YouLookFamiliar counterpart in America]], guns are shown every five minutes, and police are always either shooting or threatening to shoot civilians.

* MoodWhiplash: Happens near the end of the first series, when a trio of rogue cops terrorize Tokyo. [[spoiler:Ken breaks his leg and Natsumi breaks her arm trying to catch them, Miyuki has a near-breakdown over her two closest friends getting hurt, and the ordeal only ends when the ringleader rolls his car trying to avoid a blockade and ''dies from the impact''.]]
** TheMovie. The series is a workplace romantic comedy; the movie is a straight drama about stopping a terrorist cell from destroying Tokyo's transportation network.

** The beat and chorus from [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5WbKTNF1m0 "Love Somebody"]] are so catchy that they're likely to stay in your head all day.

** The second episode of ''Full Throttle'' had a lot of "HasTwoMommies" text.

* GatewaySeries: Back in the [[TheNineties late nineties]], this was the first anime aired on the Italian national channels (known as "RAI"). The fact the hosts of the show featuring this anime kept asking the audience if "they liked Japanese cartoons [[labelnote:*]] this term is usually used in Italy when talking about anime by people who don't know the terminology[[/labelnote]]" confirms that this was most likely used by RAI as a first experiment, like a "test screening"[[note]] RAI's rival network Mediaset started broadcasting anime long before RAI joined in.[[/note]] The success of ''You're Under Arrest'' led to more anime being broadcast and eventually to interesting events such as RAI [[TheNewTens currently]] owning all the rights of the whole ''PrettyCure'' franchise.[[/note]]

** Saori became this in Season 2, with fans splitting over whether her promotion to permanent character hurt the series or not.

* AdaptationDisplacement: The manga is virtually unknown, mostly likely do to its poor export in the west (they released two volumes, and they were five and six, and two chapters of seven). This was done at the mangaka's request to Dark Horse in North America.
** Much of the early stuff is pretty weak (especially since it would have come out as a monthly comic). Sadly, it stopped before most of volume 7, the best, came out.
* BaseBreaker: Yoriko would be a typical scrappy, except for her small but dedicated pool of fans who find her more {{Moe}} than annoying.

* TheScrappy: Yoriko is a borderline example. The Scooter Lady is a more typical one.

* TheScrappy: Again, Yoriko.
** BaseBreaker: She actually has some few but dedicated fans.

* TearJerker: "The stopwatch that was once soaked in the rain was now soaked with tears." Watch it.
** Also the end of the episode featuring Yoriko and [[spoiler: Prince Saki Abdusha]]. Specially when she [[spoiler: rejects his marriage proposal due to their [[MayDecemberRomance age]] and [[UptownGirl class]] differences, but still goes to the airport to say goodbye to him as he goes back to his war-torn home to try bringing peace to it, and [[CryCute cries silently]] when he boards his plane.]]

** A manga omake had Aoi and Yoriko dressed as in a suit and wedding gown; Aoi in the wedding gown of course.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Oh so many, but the poster example is when Miyuki, together with Natsumi and Nakajima who are riding in tandem, take down the rogue officers who were running people off the road and broke Nakajima's leg and Natsumi's arm earlier.
** Nakajima jumping off a bridge to save a drowning girl.
** Miyuki gets one in the first episode of second season where she fires paintballs onto a moving truck's windshield, from her own moving car, between the pillars of an overpass above them!
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Any time Strike Man appears, especially in the dub.
** Even funnier is watching his VA's recording sessions in the bonus [=DVDs=]. The guy ad-libbed most of his role.
*** The man(!) who voiced Scooter Mama in the dub also has some hilarious recording session footage.
** Natsumi defeats an entire gang of thugs using nothing but frozen tuna.
** When Natsumi damages a small shrine in the woods near the station, she breaks it further when trying to fix it. Miyuki's scream at the thought of being cursed for it is priceless.
** The station chief in the live action version interrogates a suspect by boring him with playing Shogi.
