Scramble continues the popular franchise that the OVA Burn Up began in 1991. Lts. Rio Kinezono and Maya Jingu of the Tokyo Police Warrior Team are joined by psychic Lilica Evett as they take on robbers, motorcycle gangs, and eco-terrorists. Captain Yuji Naruo pursues Rio, and he's delighted when she rewards his attentions with karate kicks. Rio and Maya break as many laws as they enforce: they shoot people, blow up buildings, and dispense their own brand of vigilante justice. But crime and punishment take a back seat to jiggle shots, panty shots, cleavage shots, and flashes of partial nudity. There's no jiggle meter in Scramble, as there was in Burn Up Excess, but the silliness, slapstick comedy, and sexism are the same--which is exactly what fans of the series want and expect. (Rated 16 and older: violence, nudity, risqué humor, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, but . . ., November 24, 2004

. . . the others are better. If you're a fan of Burn Up W and/or Excess, you may not be happy with the flat-out re-write they did to the series. Rio is much less whiney, Maya isn't as much of a gun freak, and Yuji has been turned into a Don Juan.

Overall, Scramble is good. It's action-packed and loaded with fanservice. But the other series were definitely more funny.

1.0 out of 5 stars Talk about bland..., January 28, 2005

This first disc has the first four Burn-Up episodes of this new series. And they are bland. The stories are too simple, the artwork too normal, the character design almost too realistic (what happened to the jiggle factor folks?), the opening and closing music is boring, the future does not even look like the future but for a few items they tossed in to make it sci-fi.
While I'm happy to hear Wendee Lee and Lex Lang, I miss Tiffany Grant, Beth Wernick and Amanda Winn-Lee.
The main characters just don't feel right (too tame in most cases) and the humor just isn't there. I think they may have run out of steam or ideas.

Boring, a waste of time and money and it is boring. Perhaps if Burn-Up W,etc, never came out first,this might have had something going for it but it is BORING!
