Burst Angel
In a crime-ridden future Japan, Kyohei Tachibana is a peaceful student at a culinary school, dreaming of going to France for advanced study as a patissier (pastry chef). To afford the trip, he accepts a part-time job as private cook to a strange group of women - Sei, Meg, Jo and Amy. To Kyohei's astonishment, they turn out to be a band of violent mercenaries, and he finds himself in the line of fire.

It's a century or two in the future, and a period of lawlessness has descended on Japan because the populace can own firearms. (Wow, this stretches the viewer's suspension of disbelief already) A team of 4 mercenary girls wander around Tokyo in a big, armored RV taking jobs to keep the peace. Sei is the oldest, and finances some of their operating/repair expenses through her family connections with a Chinese Syndicate. She's the cool, level-headed type, and her outfit gives her serious underboob cleavage- I'm surprised they don't just drop out. Jo could convincingly cosplay Paine from FFX-2, handles the mecha and lots of guns, has mysterious tattoos which appear and glow when she's fighting, and has a taciturn personality that gives Rei Ayanami a run for her money. Meg's got cleavage to spare stuffed into her cowboy outfit (and she's always cold, if you get my drift), but her somewhat bossy exterior hides a useless whiner that's taken as a hostage every other episode and has a serious dependency complex where Joe is concerned. Amy's your standard annoying computer-savvy moppet. They've got some wimp guy as a part-time cook, Meg and Amy boss him around when they're not begging for him to cook them something good to eat. The main plot seems to concern a pharmaceutical company which is developing a drug that turns its unwilling test subjects into raving monsters. Their brains (braiiiiinnssssss) are then harvested and used as AI for special giant mecha which are used to create havok and take over the city/country. The fanservice was tame even with the water park episode (15), Joe and Meg are both unlikable in their own ways, and the story could've been tighter if it were done in 13 episodes instead of 26. |
