Dominion: Tank Police

Dominion: Tank Police is a manga series written and drawn by Masamune Shirow, and later adapted into two OVA series: "Dominion Tank Police", which came first, and "New Dominion Tank Police". Set in the fictional city of Newport, Japan, in a future in which bacterial air pollution has become so severe that people must wear gas masks when outdoors, the series follows a police squadron that uses tanks.

The manga has been published in English by Dark Horse Comics. The anime has been released in English translation in the United Kingdom by Manga Video and in the United States by US Manga Corps.

Shirow has also produced a sequel to the original series, entitled Dominion Conflict One: No More Noise.
