The Outspoken Humor and Opinions of Kevin from the Other Dimension are his own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Cast and Crew of the Original You're Under Arrest anime show, who had nothing to do with this Fan Film version.
When Kevin used to do You're Under Arrest cameos in the Bad Goddess series, he approached the transphobia surrounding Aoi Futaba in a slightly more offensive manner than the original anime series, because that's what the show was, an offensive humor show designed to offend everyone on an equal scale. For this new version of You're Under Arrest, he wanted to take Aoi Futaba in a different direction so that she would be an equal and not the butt of neverending transgender jokes. What caused Kevin to have a change of heart was he witnessed Piper Meyer and Reinero De Valois's paranoid reactions to the constant harassment they received about their gender identities. He even consulted with Piper about how Aoi should be approached in today's political climate. This is no longer an issue of simply offending someone. When you perpetuate transgender stereotypes, it makes the transgender community fear for their lives, as that kind of thinking has led to them being attacked in public places and put their lives at risk. Furthermore, in today's politically correct LGBT environment, it doesn't really make sense for Aoi to put up with that kind of transphobic behavior where people are constantly reminding her that she's a man. Those jokes in the original You're Under Arrest were a product of their time period, much like the Bugs Bunny Blackface and Racist Japanese stereotypes of the older Looney Tunes cartoons.
As with his other fan film video comic series, Kevin did not secure rights permission for the characters. However, since Kodansha Ltd didn't come after him for 'Bad Goddess & Marller Gets a Spinoff', it seems unlikely that they would for experimenting with 'You're Under Arrest... Again'. The cartoons are an internet release only. Don't look for them on dvd.
The first piece of criticism that Kevin received over the series was that it didn't make sense for a Japan based cartoon to be about the police news stories in and around Austin, TX. And that the series felt like a bunch of Bonus Feature Police PSA shorts instead of a modern update of the series. The viewer also noticed that all of the characters talked the same, like they all had the same personality and shared the same opinion. This is because they are a psychological extension of the public access narrator Kevin from the Other Dimension, who is using them to vent his emotions on the news subjects in cartoon form.
Kevin's archive account hosting his cartoons and films was shut down after completing the sixth YUA cartoon. Oddly enough, his account managed to host all of his films for almost a year or so with no complaint, and didn't get shut down until he started posting offensive cartoons that satirized the police. Then again, Victor Media may have had it shut down because of the music as well.
