Editorial Reviews

Waitresses compete in the VG Martial Arts Tournament to see who's the strongest: they slide a card into a sort of parking meter and an arena appears wherever they happen to be. The winner gets $10 million and some prime real estate; the loser loses her clothes--in front of the audience. Yuka is favored to win, but her best friend Satomi needs the money to pay for her little brother's operation. Opposing them is the current champion Madame Reimi, who is attached to the vast Jahana corporation, where a sinister staff is involved in illegal biomedical experiments. With its ridiculous plot, physically overdeveloped but psychologically underdeveloped characters, and gratuitous female nudity, Variable Geo is, simply, fan service trash. (Rated 15 and older but more appropriate for over 17: violence, violence against women, grotesque imagery, nudity, risqué humor, torture, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

4.0 out of 5 stars Who comes up with this stuff?, October 30, 2000

This review is from: Varibale Geo [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I don't know anything about the game this video is based on. I bought the video because there was a buxom babe on the cover and it said "17+". (If this makes me a pig, so be it.) After a few minutes I learned the basis of the movie, namely, waitresses are fighting in a tournament. The winner gets money; the loser has to take off her clothes. My first thought on learning this was the intelligent and well-thought-out query: "Whut the--?!"

As I watched more, I can't say the premise made a whole lot more sense, but the movie was decent. The animation was surprisingly good and the fights were cool, though nowhere near the level of Street Fighter II: TAM. The story was actually pretty good, too, better than SF2 or Fatal Fury: TMP. The movie also benefitted from who I consider a very cool villain. This was Damien, the long-limbed, misshapen psychopath whose drug-induced speed and strength make him more than a match for the fighters of the tournament. My only real complaint (and here comes my piggishness again) was that there was not as much nudity as I might have hoped. The main character, Yuka, is absolutely gorgeous but never takes it all off. Bummer.

Still, this was a good title and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't need anime to be as thoughtful as Akira to enjoy watching it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Tight Anime Fighting Title, August 16, 2000

By 

"civic82" (Lafayette, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Varibale Geo [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have no clue why someone could give this video less than 4 stars. It's one of the best action flicks I have ever seen. The dubbing was EXCELLENT and the animation was super smooth. The fight seens were incredible especially the special moves. They were bright and spectacular and the story was also cool. There is drama in this video but can be really funny at times. This video is well worth a look. Especially since its so cheap and its 90min! Can't beat that. Think about it...Scantily clad waitresses fighting, and the loser has to take it all off. I'd recommend it to 17+ since it does have mature situations. Great video! BUY IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Female Fighting Anime EVER!!!, February 20, 2004

This review is from: Variable Geo (DVD)

The characters are very cool. The concept is different. Nobody wants to watch the same type of anime all the time. This is like Sailor Moon with the seriousness and fighting style of Dragonball Z. It is hardcore kickbutt action. Anybody that likes fatal martial arts action, this is for you. Beware, the moves and powers they use rips of their opponents clothing to reveal some mature parts of the body.
