The Burst Angel: Infinity OVA (2007) serves as a brief prequel to the 2004 broadcast series. Before Meg and Jo joined Sei and Amy in a vigilante group, they formed a partnership to survive on the mean streets and alleys of a future New York City. When Meg discovers that her friend Shirley was badly injured by a slasher-mecha controlled by a psychotic murderer, she and Jo swear to avenge the girl. Despite interference from the corrupt police force, the gun-toting duo succeeds in offing the bad guy after a protracted chase. Also known as The Angel's Second Coming, Infinity should have been included as an extra on a Burst Angel set. This disc also contains a "Battle Record" from the original series (a compilation of the fights, chases, and cheesecake shots), as well as the Japanese trailers for the OVA and the series. But packaging more than 100 minutes of extras with a 25-minute episode feels like case of the tail wagging--or, in this case, jiggling--the dog. (Rated TV 14: violence, violence against women, grotesque imagery) --Charles Solomon

2.0 out of 5 stars Underwhelming, feels like a deleted scene, November 29, 2007

By	Kara Stenberg "Howlsthunder" (Alaska) - See all my reviews

Don't get me wrong, I am definitley a "Bakuretsu Tenshi" fan. I usually go for more solid fare than Burst Angel but I fell for its quasi-western motif and old-school "Xena-rescues-Gabrielle (again)" format. When I heard this OVA was to be a prequel, I had hoped it would be an anime version of the (so far) Japanese-only manga. Instead we got what amounted to a one-shot episode that reveals practically nothing about our duo, doing nothing to further the overall story and nothing to develop our characters (except, perhaps, for Jo's sense of humour - i.e. the cat scene at the start, which for me was the only element worth-while).

In the end, "Infinity" felt like one big deleted scene amongst a bunch of other half-hearted DVD extras. It wasn't the worst episode, by far, but if you buy it, go into it knowing that it is nothing more than a "lost" episode that doesn't reveal much.

1.0 out of 5 stars Anime Fans are getting screwed., December 31, 2007

By	Austin Crotts (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It seems that anime fans are getting screwed by the people that bring it over more and more. I would not pay more than $5 for this dvd. It is a single episode with a bunch of extras that are not worth the money you are going to pay. You are better off finding a fan subbed or illegal copy on the net, instead of letting Funimation take your hard earn money for junk.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Burst Angel Goodness, December 5, 2007

By	Russell J. LEBAR (O' Fallon, MO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I thought this would just be complete filler but they actually tied things in fairly well with some of the themes of the series (e.g. the cruelty against the downtrodden) and we get to find out a little bit more about the rest of the orphans, the police officer who took them in, etc. The downside is it's basically an additional episode which hurts in the bang-for-your-buck department. Make sure you check out the character design extra - that's the part that shows things five years in the future and it adds a lot of value to this DVD. I just hope sales in Japan and here are enough to get us a lengthier OVA release or a second season!
