Published in 1980 and written by the late Haruo Mizuno, a man so obsessed with American cops that he actually managed to talk the NYPD and LAPD into letting him ride along with officers, this amazing book is but one of dozens he authored on the topic. None sum up the Japanese fascination with the American power aesthetic as much as this fetish-like pastiche of uniform, hamburgers, weapons, and mountains of french fries, though. In spite of the cover, the actual material is all straightforward (even reverential) coverage of American SWAT teams and such. Dig in!
Funniest shit ever is that those types think Jin-Roh is cool because the Wehrmacht-esque power armor and fail to see that the protagonist literally turns against the fascist government and joins the rebels.
Oh yeah I've seen these Japanese hobby magazines before, I know of SF magazine which used to publish Ma.K stuff, Guin Saga and Gundam model kits, I think. Old school otaku stuff is neat, obviously obsessing over cops is not.
