Synopsis

The genre-bending anime series BURST ANGEL blends sci-fi, action, comedy, and even a touch of Spaghetti Western into a thrilling girls-with-guns confection. In futuristic Tokyo, a new law that allows citizens to openly carry guns has actually led to an increase in crime, and a shadowy organization known as RAPT (Recent Armed Police of Tokyo) actively encourages violence in order to profit from the chaos. A quartet of scantily clad young women named Jo, Sei, Amy, and Meg stride into this anarchic milieu and attempt to bring a sense of order and justice to the lawless land with their gun-slinging ways and leather chaps. This title features the violent and sexy anime series in its entirety.

4.0 out of 5 stars East meets West in this Studio Gonzo classic., 14 Aug 2008
By J. Snook "Ichigo_2020 - Anime Buff" (Wales) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
A new law has been passed in Tokyo. People are now allowed to carry guns at all times, and they're even allowed to use them. As expected crime has increased and the arrest rate has gone down. This is all thanks to the corrupt armed police force known as RAPT
Burst angel follows Jo and her all female group of mercenaries who undergo dangerous missions to try and maintain some order in the chaos. These impossibly proportioned girls do battle with terrorists a plenty with their incredible arsenal of gigantic guns and powerful giant armoured suits.
For the first half of this 24 part series the characters and themes are introduced through a series of two part episodes. These episodes are really enjoyable to watch as they are filled with plenty of OTT action, great comedy and fanservice. Later on, the story sticks to a story arc and becomes a bit more serious and I must admit that it does drag in places. The characters are probably the best thing about this anime because they are all really likeable in their own way.
Ditsy cowgirl wannabe Meg is the stereotypical damsel in distress for most episodes and main protagonist Jo is a hardened mercenary with a mysterious hidden past who prefers to speak with actions rather than words.
All characters are each portrayed nicely by their respected voice actors. Some of which include Monica Rial (Najica, Excel Saga) and Greg Ayes (Beck, Gantz, The Wallflower).
The animation is also really good; created by acclaimed studio Gonzo. (Gantz, Afro Samurai, Full Metal Panic) There is plenty of nice vibrant art work with some clean looking fight scenes. Furthermore, the several mecha battles found here are rendered with breathtaking use of CGI.
The music is a joy to listen to as it is a mix between spaghetti western and typical japanese pop. The ending credits theme song is a particularly catchy song.
Burst Angel is a classic anime that will appeal to a wide variety of anime fans, and if you enjoy this, then you will pleased to know that there is a short OVA (original video animation) out now, entitled Burst Angel Infinity.

Thanks for reading!!!
