Manga
I've been reading Full Metal Panic: Sigma, while watching The Second Raid alongside it. It's interesting, considering it has some differences from the anime. Some for good, others for worse. I prefer the Anime, but the Manga is good too.
The other two manga I've been following, The Lies of Sheriff Evans: Dead or Love and Shibuya Near Family are both still fun.
Anime:
I've recently watched Gundam 00 - I wrote more about that here.
Tokimeki Tonight is still a fun show when it comes to the wacky comedy and artsy backgrounds.
Ranma 1/2 (1989) - Rumiko Takahashi's writing is consistently entertaining, and over a dozen episodes in, it keeps delivering. Will the show be able to keep up? I hope so!
Another entertaining show is You're Under Arrest!. Is it copaganda? Yes. Has a certain aspect of the show aged poorly? Also yes. What the show excels in, are the villains of the week. Strike Man will be living in my head rent free for a bit, I suppose.
Dragon Ball Z is peak, over 60 episodes in.
**Western Animation & Live Action **
I'm still watching Gravity Falls, and it's good, if formulaic. Apparently people dislike Mabel and like Dipper? Because so far it's the exact opposite for me lol.
Also, I started Andor. I like it so far, but it's clearly still cooking at this stage.

I'm not familiar with any other '90s anime about a duo of policewomen, so yeah, that's probably the one. I'm wondering which DVD you might've seen specifically, though — the only DVD I've managed to find after some amount of looking that seems to match your description more or less perfectly is this one:
Oh, and by the way: if you've ever seen the
meme before, that's from You're Under Arrest, too. And that's not even the only widely-circulated meme with that character:
※The subtitles are fake. Also, her name is Yoriko and she is a delight.
Hmm, doesn't look like the cover I remember, it could have been older (or I could be misremembering something I saw literally over 25 years ago). Definitely the kind of character design and art I remember. Doesn't really matter whether it's the exact one though.
After a bit of googling though that's gotta be it! How many anime are likely to be about two policewomen patrolling in a cute little Honda, after all?:) thanks!
It doesn't necessarily matter if it's the right cover, but it would be pretty cool to find the exact one. I found some others that almost matched the description but had one detail or another off...
Yoriko is fun.
In general, the author (who also made Aa, Megami-Sama! at the same time he wrote this) is pretty good at writing entertaining characters, while also inventing many of future annoying tropes of Anime.
You don't say, would you like to name a few examples?
I'm talking out of my ass. There's likely something, I suppose.
