When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
It sounds like it's BravePoliceJDecker. It's from 1994, is 48 episodes, and is about a boy teaming up with police robots. The tropes page also mentions a Panda.
FYI, I found that using MAL's anime list here: https://myanimelist.net/anime/season/1994/winter
. It's a useful tool that lists every anime that aired in every season. If it somehow turns out that Brave Police J-Decker wasn't it, you can probably find it there.
that's it! that's the one! thanks!
with mommy bingewatching beast wars,one of my uncles was trying to remember an '94 anime. 1)it was an cop anime- it shows in the title"something police something" 2)it was about an fourth grader who was an boss of an group of crime-fighting robots 3)one of the 48 episodes featured an giant panda 4)another one of the 48 episodes was about the leader having an weird dream of the disbandment of the robot team. of course he woke up right in front of the entire team of crime-fighting robots.
