Burst Angel Audience Reviews

VividSimon Simply Perfect
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Tweekums Set in a future Tokyo where guns are legally carried and crime is rife; law is officially enforced by RAPT, Recently Armed Police of Tokyo but at times it seems as if they are part of the problem rather than the solution. The series is centred on a group of mercenaries whose mobile base is a large truck. These mercenaries are four girls; Jo, Meg, Sei and Amy who fight a variety of foes… including monsters whose origins are exposed as the story progresses. Sei is the group's leader but Jo and Meg are the dominant characters… Jo's fighting skills are virtually unmatched and she must frequently use them to save Meg who has a habit of being captured.While this series is hardly a classic it isn't bad either. I liked how the story was introduced; a boy looking for a job as a chef finds work with the girls… it looked as though he was being set up to be the protagonist but once the girls have been introduced he quickly becomes a fairly minor character. The girls, especially Jo and Meg, are good characters although there costumes are clearly designed to show off their bodies in a way that could be a little bit excessive… strangely in the one scene where there is actually nudity nothing more than Jo's backside is actually shown. The series features several stories which tend to be between one and three episodes in length although as it reaches its conclusion we see that there are connections between the monsters the girls fight and learn about Jo's mysterious past. There are some fun secondary characters; most notably Osaka cop, and ex-biker girl, Takane Katsu. The animation is decent although some CGI in the robot-fighting scenes is a bit obvious. Overall an okay series if you want something that has plenty of action and isn't too deep.
Andy Carpenter This anime was FANTASTIC!! Jo is about the best girl I've yet seen in an anime.It is well written and contains an action-packed story.This anime is greatly animated by the people at Gonzo.It's just a pity that there isn't a season 2... it would be real nice to see Jo again.The plot is pretty good and it'll keep you glued to the edge of your seat until the last round is fired! All the weird things other people say are just opinions of haters.I recommend this to anyone who likes girls, guns, and westerns!!! At least watch this and see Jo kick a** and her hotness!!
Nasan Bedore Spoiler warning!Like a lot of people say the series is Crap or Is not worth it, its by far a work of art. its a series that has Themes and ideals that most people tend to say "Oh that wont work" or "God that will never do". The show breaches on many aspects of viewers, as you watch the show you get enticed and somewhat enslaved by the TV. The show is set in a Japan that has well lost all sense of right and wrong, although to some its just some Girls slinging Guns, its a show about love, Finding Who you are and sadness well not forgetting the Action, but the show shows each person with light, showing there past and there future, its what every show needs.If your into a show that has you Deeming from Right to wrong, keeping you on the edge of your Couch and has Both Romance and Death *Not to forget the Times you just break out laughing* then this is right, A show based in a Tokyo where you have to be strong to live, Where the government is oppressive, and where You just have to Carry a gun. Its a Show that takes So many ideas that Writers and Critics say won't do, and places them in a Way they will. Its a show for those that are well More open minded and don't stick to a Curtain Theme and like to watch thing's and enjoy them I think Story Matters more then theme but that's just me, although they do work hand in hand.*My own Little thought was "Think of it as japan after a War/Nuke where Guns have become legal for anyone, Completely taking japans stance on weapons away, Like the USA"
butcherwarlord OK first off Jo and Meg aren't Gay!! They are very good friends you see i know what gay is am not saying that i am and they aren't gay because well which it they haven't even kiss to lip to lip. and if they were it would be rated TV MA >) jeez because the FUNimation allows that type of stuff like that and thats not one of the Anime that has that crud in it. also i have read the graphic novels to were Meg fantasize that she and Jo get rich and so it doesn't led to anything that is lesbian related so who ever says that they are there Dead wrong!.so you people stop saying that. and i agree its a very good anime. ++++++++++====+++
