I personally enjoyed Burst Angel, but I realize it is not for everyone. It seems to be a series that is either loved or abhorred. While the archaic category might be more legal for me than the latter, I will try to be as impartial as possible with this review.

A futuristic Tokyo is plagued with crime. The atrocious agency RAPT is in charge of keeping the peace, which is of small comfort to the city’s upstanding citizens. As if that was not enough to maintain the average Joe on edge, there is a secret lab that has managed to fuse organic cells with machinery, creating the ultimate weapon. This city needs a hero. They are getting four.
Jo, Meg, Sei and Amy are Tokyo’s Batman, though the Dim Knight has never looked this well-behaved in a bikini. The buxom beauties, with a itsy-bitsy succor from their friends and giant robot, Jango, strike alarm in the hearts of criminals, and are the only ones equipped to remove on the menacing bio-machines.

The spaghetti western overtones sets this series apart. It is an fabulous mix of east meets west, aged v. unusual. Mech battles often resemble a high noon duel more than a outmoded battle of the titans, while the many gun play scenes could easily occupy region in a dusty street of a ghost town. All this while a Spanish guitar plays over a jazzy progression. However, the western feel never smothers the futuristic urban vibe. Meg and Jo’s clothing is a well-behaved example - contemporary with a western sprint. The balance is perfect.
The narrative is easily the weakest section of this series which can be a deal breaker depending on your taste. While it’s an lively premise, the memoir is never fully fleshed out. The girls relax, Meg is kidnapped, the girls fight bio-machine, Meg is rescued. Lather, rinse, order. There are no twists or surprises, honest straight up action. There are a lot of sub-plots going on, but none of them are fully realized. For instance, it is hinted at that Jo and Meg are more than honest friends, especially in the final episodes, but this is never fully realized. Had this conflict been more in the forefront from the beginning, Meg and Jo would have been more three dimensional. You would care about them, and the decisions they design. All the characters suffer from this same exclaim - they are 2D.
The action, however, is good. Bullets soar, explosions erupt, and buildings crumble. Battles are always snappily paced and racy. In between the action, you are beat over the head senseless with fan service. Panty shots are frequent to the point that you inaugurate to explore when you’re NOT staring at Meg’s cotton clad crotch. The girls clothes couldn’t possibly regain any skimpier. The lower half of Sei’s breast are always exposed, Jo wears limited more than a pair of panties, and at least one of the terrible girls wears even less. This said, it never feels sleazy for the sake of sleaze. However, there is one episode, which takes plot at the beach, that is a bit over the top. All four girls are clad in very revealing bikinis. Meg’s bottoms barely shroud anything while Sei’s breasts struggle to hasten her skimpy one fraction. While it is treading sleazy water, it is impartial one episode.
This box spot includes all 24 episodes as well as the OVA, Burst Angel Infinity. Infinity digs a miniature deeper in Meg and Jo’s background noting of sincere substance is revealed. It shares the same weaknesses and strengths of the series as discussed above.
Picture quality is genuine. Lines are crisp and colors are vibrant. Audio is equally impressive. Blu-ray is definitely an improvement, and worth the upgrade. Special features are what you quiz them to be - commentaries, late the scenes, etc. Nothing too attractive, though the commentaries are often droll as the discussions digress from the episode to what kind of underwear men really capture women to wear and why white is always best regardless of style. I said laughable, not enlightening, insightful, etc. The English dub is generally valid, but never exceptional. Packaging consists of 3 discs in 2 standard size Blu-ray cases with a box.
Burst Angel had big potential, but it feels half baked. The spaghetti western overtones and frequent action is improbable, but there is exiguous else beyond the surface. The writers attempted to acquire some deep, three dimensional characters and even added the resemblance of what could be subplots to invent us care about them, but this too ended up an uncooked, gooey mess. This is not Elfen Lied - amateur philosophers need not observe this. However, if you can forgive the structural short comings, you will be rewarded with a kick butt action packed jiggle fest lightly seasoned with a cold spaghetti western vibe.

This anime was really kindly in alot of ways. With this boxset you also find the OVA which is really estimable since it explains more about the two female main characters and their past. I don’t know what it is, but this series has a microscopic feel of Heavy Metal mixed with like Paunchy Metal Anxiety!. I don’t really know how to account for it without giving any spoilers away.
It’s actually not as violent as you might demand and the characters really depend on eachother. Jo the main herione while icy to some calm has a tight nit bond with Meg. They have been together since the begining. Unfortunatly I don’t want to go into too noteworthy detail, but I do recommend the series. I am determined one of the other reviewers might have explained it better, but I am trying to end away from possible spoilers.
