Miami Guns is a parody Cop Show about... well, we're not sure, actually. All we can say for sure is that it's a manga by Takeaki Momose note  who would go on to create Magikano which was serialized in Magazine Special from 1997 to 1999, and can be considered an Affectionate Parody of cop shows and Girls with Guns series. It was later adapted into a 13-episode anime by Group TAC and Animal Ya, which aired in 2000.The story focuses on Sakurakoji Yao and Amano Lu, two cops from a relatively fictional version of Miami City, and the Ragtag Bunch of Misfits they belong to that is the Miami Police Force. Other than that... the show's pretty random with its gags, though manages to stay funny enough to sit through.

Unknown Rival: Nagisa Tojo, the girl who Yao befriends in the girl's school episode. Despite constantly trying to sabotage and betray Yao, Yao unwittingly foils Nagisa's plans. Lu's suspicious, but doesn't do anything about it. Yao eventually reveals that she may have known more about Nagisa than she let on. "She won't do anything wrong -- I won't let her!"

Gag Series: The Anime has almost nothing resembling an overall plot; it pretty much runs on throw-away gags and cultural references.

Where the Hell Is Springfield?: There are some indications that the "Miami" in the show might not be in Florida — namely the largely Japanese cast and the fact that the city's name is often written in kanji. Not to mention all the mountains...

The Speechless: Subverted with Mr. Sakurakoji. He speaks all right, but is always in the Gendo Pose that nobody ever sees his mouth. Not once through the series. He even keeps one hand covering his mouth in a hold-up.

Mood Whiplash: Chapter 7 of the manga. It deals with Kenji Inuda, a criminal who tries to kill Chief Amano out of misguided revenge. This particular episode is surprisingly tense and serious, with much fewer jokes than usual.

Whack A Mole: The plot of the Western parody episode (#5), where Lu and Yao join a group of bounty hunters trying to find the mysterious Maria Rose before he/she can kill them all. "Lu" and "Yao" were actually a pair of gunwomen hiding in plain sight as our heroines, without letting the audience in on it.

It also has CGI car chases, as a Shout-Out to Initial D. Not only that, the culprit is the son of a tofu shop owner and an "underground racer", a reference to Fujiwara Takumi, its protagonist.

Battle Butler: Jii, apparently. According to Yao's flashback, he's served in the army, won Oscars, played in a band, been a Buddhist monk - with his hair and sunglasses intact, and a secret service agent. To his credit, the guy is The Ace incarnate, a ladies' man, and according to episode #9, essentially made of iron!
