Assemble Insert English Sub & Dub

About Assemble Insert

Here is what Assemble Insert (アッセンブル・インサート) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy, mecha and music anime (1989). The setup: The local law enforcement has a problem: the Demon Seed — a small but surprisingly capable gang with a charismatic leader. Their mecha body suits allow them to undertake spectacular crimes that regularly rampage the city and totally humiliate the police.

Another thread: Desperate, the police have created a special branch just to deal with them. However, these unlucky few are not having any better results than the regular police and the public is turning against them. If they could just foil the Demon Seed once it would make their careers so much easier.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Norio Wakamoto as Hattori and Hiroko Kasahara as Maron Namikaze. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 2 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Within the comedy category, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. With a 6.0/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Norio Wakamoto voicing Hattori gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 1989, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
