3.0 out of 5 stars
Light-hearted and silly, April 13, 2006
This review is from: Burn Up W (DVD)
I did not have high expectations for this one, so I was rewarded on some levels and satisfactorily underwhelmed on others. The story centers around a Secret Special Team of cops that respond to particular missions for reward money. So basically they are mercenaries who moonlight as cops, or vice versa. Terrorist attacks, to kidnappings, to being body guards, to tracking down peeping toms who steal young girl's underwear - they handle all the "tough" questions. It does not hurt then, that the three main characters are very attractive, have perfect bodies, and are extremely busty. This DVD wastes no time getting you up close and personal with the star's assets and will even allow you to turn on a "boing counter" to help you keep track of bouncy cleavage shots each girl gets. Rio is the main character, and has the largest chest of course. She is somewhat of a clutz, very loud and whiny and is always broke. Yuji is the token guy, who lusts after Rio, but can't get the time of day, and apparently serves the group no other purpose but to bumble around and make lewd comments directed towards Rio. Maya is the "brawn" of the group. She is the weapons master, sniper, demolitions expert. She is always complaining that she hasn't gotten to blow stuff up or shoot somebody in every episode. Then there's the ultra cool, calm commander lady, cute computer tech girl, and other random prettiness sprinkled in to round out the cast. The episodes start out very light and trite, but by the last episode takes a very serious turn when people start actually dying. Has some nudity and language, and of course lots of bodacious boobs and cleavage, but nothing too bad.

The cover promises action little deth and fanservice, March 23, 2006
This review is from: Burn Up W (DVD)
Its one of those anime's that keeps its promises when you read the cover or the back cover and it does the way you depict it. Its a really likeable anime I don't really know if it should be classified with other anime but its funny and it gots its serious momments from time to time. I must add i watched it after i watched Burn up Excess so i came it being a skeptical at first but it turn out to be really good. Better than the series.

Pretty good story, August 5, 2008
This review is from: Burn Up W (DVD)
Yeah its a bit flakey, but I like the story behind it. Typical in almost every way...from fan service to cliche phrases. It has it all. But hey, its all in fun right. Sit back and enjoy the ride. Its a cartoon story about hot chicks with guns.....is that a bad thing? Not in my book. Worth a laugh with a drink on a boring evening when there's nothing but "survivor" or "Idol" on tv. Don't know about you, but if I want to melt my brain, I'd rather do it watching something I know I'll enjoy.
