About On Your Mark

If you are hunting for a new drama series, On Your Mark (On Your Mark CHAGE & ASKA) deserves a look (1995). The setup goes like this. The setup: In the future, mankind can no longer live on the ground due to intense radiation, both from the sun and from an abandoned nuclear plant. One day, a group of special police raided a religious cult compound, and after a fierce firefight two policemen found a winged mutant girl, with chains on her arms, barely alive.

Another thread: However, government scientists dressed in hazardous material suits immediately intervened and brought her back to a research facility. Realizing they were merely transferring her from one prison to another, those two policemen formulated a daring plan to set her free once and for all. (Source: Anime News Network) Note: This is a music video created by Hayao Miyazaki for the pop music duo Chage & Aska (after whom the two police officers are modeled).

In a drama series like this, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. This one is best suited to viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. At 1 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
