description Inferno Cop Overview
Jack Knife Edge Town is as edgy as it sounds, and it's up to Inferno Cop to stop that edge from tearing his city apart. He's both law and outlaw, dispensing ungodly justice to evildoers like a candy machine. Lowlifes, gangsters, and even hellspawn all infest Inferno Cop's hunting ground, but that's the good news. The bad news?
Prior to the story, his family was brutally murdered by Southern Cross, a shady organization that made the worst mistake imaginable by doing so. Now, Inferno Cop's limiters have been removed and his mercy rung more dry than the entrails of his victims.
help Inferno Cop FAQ
Who made Inferno Cop and when did it come out?
It was the first original anime from Studio Trigger, the studio founded by ex-Gainax staff, released as a web series starting in late 2012. Akira Amemiya directed it, years before he helmed Space Patrol Luluco for the same studio.
How long is each episode?
Each episode runs only about three minutes, so the entire series can be binge-watched in well under an hour. The bite-size format is part of its joke-a-second pacing.
Is Inferno Cop connected to Kill la Kill or Trigger's other shows?
Not in any direct story sense; it's its own absurd thing about a flaming-skulled cop dispensing justice in Jack Knife Edge Town. Fans like to note it launched the studio that went on to make Kill la Kill in 2013 and later hits like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
Why does the animation look so cheap?
The minimal, paper-cutout style is completely deliberate, using limited poses and effects to deliver rapid-fire absurd comedy. That intentionally low-budget aesthetic became the show's signature and a cult favorite online.
