In some peoples eyes Burn Up W is what a good anime should be, a loud, fast paced adventure with lots of large guns, and very well endowed characters. But overall Burn up W is just good fun. It's a feature that doesn't take itself too seriously, and so can be watched over and over, without becoming boring. It's the Japanese equivalent of a high school movie, full of humour, light on plot. But who cares, it's still pretty good in all respects. The DVD picture and sound are excellent as is the quality and menu system of the package in general. If you're a Tenchi or Bebop fan, and you don't take yourself too seriously, you'll enjoy this title. Hopefully there will be further DVD episode releases, as the series in its entirety could be real good. Give it a try!

ahhh, the tongue in cheek anime genre, gotta love it aint cha, they manage to spoof everything including themselves. The two main girls, rio and maya, are overly endowned, as most pf the female characters are, but purely for humorous intent, and humerous it is.

techinically, the animation is some of the best you're likely to see from an anime series, the detail is great, althogugh it does lack in some areas like minor characters and backgrounds.

The music, is just great, wheras episodes 1 and 2 are laugh out loud funny, the second two are more serious and emotional, what is commendable is that these characters progess believably, and are consistent, its not like they are going for laughs, these are who they are.

classic scenes are evident evwrywhere, rios constipation, maya trigger happy nature and the funniest evangelion tribute/joke ever. Complete with many spoofs of mission impossible, die hard with a dash of inuendo from yugi and rio's love-hate? relationship

This is really opne for those who like their anime funny and serious with lots ofr action, a bit of everything basicly. Did you like project a-ko, slayers or tenchi? if so this is for you, its also on one disc so it s cheap, like the budgy.

why did i give it only 4 stars if i praise it so#? thats a personal peeve as to the fact that its only 4 episodes period, theyran out of budget or something and leave the series on a ambiguous note, if only adv would put up the money for a second outing for the warrior team.

Burn Up W is nothing that you haven't seen before. Think of it as the futuristic Sailormoon. This story is about 3 hot female cops trying to stop a "Virtual Virus". The Names of these girls are Rio, Maki, Lilica, and the one male Yugi. There is occasional nudity not brief but hey anything is possible in anime. If you have PS2 you might want to skip this because there are problems with it playing the last 2 episodes. A few scenes in this film have blood and gore but nothing you can't handle. All in all you could enjoy this film. Oh yeah for the record don't let kids under the age of 14 see this. It might be sourta a comedy but to much adult content.

This one had me laughing alot, I will say that, sadly it was mostly at the terrible voice acting and dubbing skills, those were pretty terrible. I watched in in Japanese after and still laughed, but this time it was at the jokes. Needless to say, this one will make you laugh.

There aren't many features on this one, but it is set up nice and it includes all 4 episodes from the Warrior series, follow up to the original Burn Up, which was a little superior in places. As with DP Flash and the style of redoing older anime in a new spectrum, this is one of those that faired pretty well in the attempt to keep the trend moving and will probably fair pretty well in time, better than DP Flash in most cases in the superior storylines, animation and humor.

The soundtrack on this one isn't anywhere near one of the best, but it does its job well enough and the action is humorous when it is supposed to well. I good release by ADV and one worth purchasing if you haven't already.

How should i put this, it was not my cup of tea.

Babes with guns and offcourse, big assets. I really didn't like this show, but i didn't dislike it either. As you can see by the ratings i put it in a middle ground. The story was paper thin with no twists or plot changes. The girls personalities didn't have a chance to develop. And the big "assets" i talked about just doesn't work for me, it's just playing silly. Average story with a lack of character development.

Let's see, this series has big-breasted heroines (not much nudity, but a good dose of "fan service" shots) -- one who's willing to use a bit of her sexy charms to her own benefit, one who's overly eager to destroy stuff, one who's spunky and is good with computers, one who's a calm, calculating leader -- and one blundering guy who has a crush on one of the girls. Sounds cliche already? Well, that's what the series is like overall.

The plot is enjoyable, but is laden with cliche elements. None of the plot development, character dilemma, conflicts, resolution, etc, will make you sit up and take notice. If you've seen a good dose of anime before, then you've seen all this before.

Of course, that's not to say the series sucks. It's definitely enjoyable. The animation quality is quite decent (music is horrible, though), and I thought some of the character designs were very nice (albeit not too original). And the story has its moments too.

So as long as you know what you're getting -- a nicely-produced OVA series with tons of cliche elements -- then you'll probably enjoy it. But don't expect anything groundbreaking...

Heres a show with major fan service. If you watch a lot of anime (one of them being Evangelion for sure), then you will find this just as great as Otaku No Video. This series is great with action, ditzy humor and plenty of characters with great personalities. Not to mention mecha, action, a virus, romance, terorists and a nude bungie jump. You might look at this video, see the extremely thin women in tight clothes and say "What makes this different from Amazing Nurse Nanako or Jungle De Ikou"? It simple. The character development and clever humor make it a show to watch. And unlike Nanako, where the show is based on one character who isn't that great, Burn Up W has plenty of characters to choose from on which one you will like. For better or worse, the dub has some american in-jokes on stuff like Jerry Springer on the level of Those Who Hunt Elves. Anyway, for those who don't mind seeing anime like this and can appreciate a dub catered towards your humor, then I would recommend seeing this. ... If you haven't seen this series yet, see it now.

My god I had my doughts about this, but is is so hilarious. I mean the constipation joke and the fake bungee jump. Plus all of the women are powerful in there own way. This really is an awesome series.

This is a Very nicely done Anime. One of the better ones I think but not for children. So if you are 18 and older you would enjoy it very much. The animation on it is wonderful and the story line is basic. Not hard to understand. I would not hold your breath for it to be on American TV. Go get the DVD ot tape.

rated 16 and up: (nudity, profanity, sexual humor, violence, violence against women)

Team Warrior is a team put together to deal with speical problems, like terroists and kidnapped virtual idols. But the team sometimes acts special themselves, being both greedy and violent, they end up causing as much damage as the criminals of Neo-Tokyo. Lets not forget the nude bungee jump and the giant anti-android mecha.
I really enjoyed the second episode, with the attack android, and these 4 episodes of Burn-Up W are the foundation for the 13 episodes in Burn-Up Excess.
Not much depth, but tons of fun.
