ケルベロス・サーガ 犬狼・シリーズ
A Japanese alternate history political thriller franchise created by [[oshii mamoru|Mamoru Oshii]], stemming from his 1987 film [[akai megane|The Red Spectacles]]. 

It is set in an alternate timeline where the [[United States]] remained neutral during both world wars, and during [[World War II]], [[Japan]] joined the Allies, [[nazi|Germany]] defeated the [[soviet|Soviet Union]] (largely from their development of the [[protect gear|protect gears]]), and the 20 July plot to assassinate [[Adolf Hitler]] succeeded, leading to the restoration of the Weimar Republic. After the war, a de-nazified but still authoritarian Germany occupies Japan, leading to anti-government riots and terrorism. 

To combat the civil unrest, the Japanese provisional government set up a special counter-terrorist unit within the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]] known as the Capital Police Special Unit "Kerberos," who use the [[protect gear|protect gears]] developed by the Germans during [[World War II]].
