    It's bad

    Let me just summarize this in a few key statements that will hopefully turn you away from this show before it's to late.

    cowboy hats on bad cgi robots pointless characters backasswards plot "development" more pointless characters

    An earlier review compared this to Trigun? Well if you mean this show had a few cowboy hats, and that Trigun is a epic (and extremely entertaining) space western than yes...they have that in common (save the fact that Burst Angel is absolutely terrible).

    The only thing this anime had going for it was half a chub, and in all fairness...we deserve better than that. Do yourself a favor and steer clear my friends...if you really want a treat...go watch Trigun.

    Not the Best

    Lets see, this anime is kind of somewhere between Evangelion and Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 leaning more to Bubblegum Crisis, with a whole lot of large breasts, bland characters, no plot, horrible music, bad cgi, and not much more. To say the characters are one dimensional is an understatement, so don't hope for any character development. The characters play up to established anime archetypes but don't really do anything for the viewer. The plot is a string of unrelated fights that eventually tie together for a conclusion but is very in-cohesive. I found the music and the western theme irritating, there's one character who speaks with a western accent that sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me. The robots are done with cgi and are stiff and an eyesore. The girls are dressed in skimpy outfits, the same ones the entire series, and are painfully obvious that the only reason for the show is to flaunt their features for a male audience. The only redeeming quality of the show is the overall animation which is pretty good and consistent for the most part. Not a bad series if your looking for a show about boobs with a side-story of big dumb robots. It gets better towards the end but its a painful ride. Worth a viewing I wouldn't buy it again though.

    Burst angel summary

    OK first off Jo and Meg aren't Gay!! They are very good friends you see i know what gay is am not saying that i am and they aren't gay because well which it they haven't even kiss to lip to lip. and if they were it would be rated TV MA >) jeez because the FUNimation allows that type of stuff like that and thats not one of the Anime that has that crud in it. also i have read the graphic novels to were Meg fantasize that she and Jo get rich and so it doesn't led to anything that is lesbian related so who ever says that they are there Dead wrong!.

    so you people stop saying that. and i agree its a very good anime. ++++++++++====+++

    Pretty cool, though not for everyone.

    This anime was a lot of fun. The overall plot is sort of rambling, but it's a great ride. It's one of the sci-fi-western genre, similar to Trigun, although the characters (four females who fight crime in Tokyo) reminded me of the main characters from Bubblegum Crisis. It's heavy on the gun and mecha action, and there's a mystery about one of the characters and her origins that is nicely resolved at the end. And if you like commentaries, there were commentary tracks for six episodes in the DVD set.

    The music is excellent. The opening theme ("Loosey") is one of the most memorable I've ever heard.

    That said, there was a lot of fan service, several allusions to gay love, and a good amount of violence, so it's definitely not for the kids.

    Looking forward to the OVA.

    Burst Angel - dull and boring

    This is the worst anime I have ever seen. The reason over 5 times as many men as women have even BOTHERED to rate the series on IMDb.com is because... it's made for men. All it is is big breasts with nipples poking through skimpy prostitute-style outfits complete with garters plus machine guns and huge robots and fast cars. I also found the dialog very banal. My friend, who is a guy, recommended Burst Angel very highly to me (and now I'm not surprised why HE liked it) and I was thoroughly disappointed. Like Charlie's Angels, it had absolutely no plot. It was a cartoon version of Charlie's Angels except worse.

    Also, what the heck is a Texas cowgirl doing in future Tokyo?! Would love to know that one.
