In response, an organization called RAPT has been created, whose goal is to maintain their definition of "peace". In the underground, however, science involving humans and powerful mechanics is progressing at a steady phase, but for what purpose? Meet our four angels who know how to kick butt and raise hell whenever it's needed. Their motto? Shoot first, talk later. Their mission? To make the seemingly impossible possible, of course...
Although the underlying plot of Daphne in the Brilliant Blue is not nearly as heavy as that of Burst Angel, the overall "feel" of the two anime is roughly similar. Burst Angel never really makes up its mind whether it it wants to take itself seriously or just be a light fanservicy romp, whereas Daphne in the BrilliantBlue gives the viewer very little beyond fanservice. All the same, the two anime have a lot in common -- beyond the stereotypical "girls with guns" theme. If you like the one, you'll surely like the other.
It's not exactly the same thing, but there's a lot of similarities within both. Hot chicks with guns, how can you go wrong!!
Action girl anime always makes me happy, although I find Burst Angel to be inferior, they are both very similar.

Now, with his former life ruined and his kidnappers seeming comparatively friendly, "Rock" decides to join their merry band of mercenaries, and sets out with a new career to the shadier corners of the South China Sea.
Black Lagoon and Daphne in the Brilliant Blue are both series quite aquatic in nature revolving around outfits providing services along the lines of mercenaries, couriers, or bodyguards. Daphne is arguably more ridiculous, but they are both to some degree lighthearted.
