Intersting story, it has a lot of action and good characters especially Saki the main character. drawn well. She becomes a cop and there's more to it than that. See it for yourself.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't watch for the plot., April 30, 2005

I say that because to be honest, it's a cliche, by the numbers good vs evil story and there's holes you can drive a Mack Truck through. The makers tried very hard to make her an anti hero and they only sort of suceeded.

That said, watch it because Saki kicks ass and uses a yo-yo for a weapon. There are some wonderful fight scenes and she uses the yo-yo to great effect. Watch it for those. Heck, make a drinking game out of it.

I should also add that in the end, when she starts tearing up the bad guy's organization single handed, is when the animation comes into it's own.

This review is from: Sukeban Deka (DVD)

Many anime series go a bit over the top in some way, either with characters that are so sweet you go into diabetic shock just watching, to amazing ways to defy natural laws. Somehow they cna do this without destroying the entertainmetn itself.

Sukeban Deka definitely plays to that pattern, but here is the villains who are just way over the top. Some of the James Bond villains aren't as heartless, cruel and conniving as the three sisters the heroine is sent to investigate.

The story does ahve flaws and plot holes. The main character is convinced to return to school and investigate based on a threat to execute her mother who is on death row. She accepts, but otehr than one later moment of doubt about the whole thing never really explores her feeligns towards the cops who are controlling her.

But for 100 minutes of show, the story holds together and is fun, if not amazing. Worth adding if you like this kind of anime, not for lovers of mecha or magical girls as you won't find that here.
