So Burn Up! Is a one episode OVA that spawned two 12 episode T.V series and another 4 episode OVA. If I had to compare it to anything it would be Bubble Gum Crisis also by AIC, excpet not quite as good. It's pretty much your basic cops OVA, with a bit of violence and fanservice here and there.  Story- So the story is pretty much about these female cops in the future who have to defeat this evil organization and rescue their friend... yeah not the most origianl story there ever was. The story dragged a little in the middle, but the actiony parts were quite engaging.  Animation- Easily the... See full review

I think there is one anime for everyone that "converted" them into an anime fan. An anime that is so good that is just takes your preconceptions of what anime is and just crumbles them into dust. An anime that just blows your brain into so many pieces that by the time your finished recovering all of the pieces, you'll feel like a completely different person. An anime that seems to peer into your soul and make you question your own existence. This anime put me through every emotion on the spectrum and then some. Berserk is less of an anime for me and more of a rite of passage, from a lonely angsty... See full review

I'm gonna keep this short. I honestly can't say much about this anime. The plot is unoriginal the characters are boring and the animation is below standard for me. If you REALLY want a show about people with psychic powers then maybe you could consider watching this, but honestly this OVA felt really pointless. The main character barely has any trouble defeating his enemies and theres some "attempt" at doing a plot twist, but it doesn't really work and there is also a light romantic sub-plot which doesn't ever get enough development. Maybe the T.V series of this are much better and this anime... See full review

I stumbled on this somewhat obscure title randomly and it led me to discover the manga, which is one of the best I've read in in a long time. It was written by a Korean individual, but published by a Japanese company, so for the purpose of this review I'll be calling the comic a manga to avoid confusion, even though manhwa would seem more appropiate given the subject matter.  After reading a good portion of the manga I decided to go back and watch the movie just to see if they managed to keep things more or less the same. I was surprised by how I noticed little things in the art and storytelling that... See full review

So I watched the T.V series, before this and when I found out that Yoshiaki Kawajiri had created the original OVA, I knew I had to check it out. I was expecting a lot more blood, guts gore, nudity and his trademark char designs, but what I got was much of the same as the T.V series. Story- Aside from a few characters added in the T.V series, just about the exact same story. I don't really want to spoil, it though but if you've seen the T.V series you know the circumstances that Tsutomu and Birdy find themselves in. There is deffinetly lack of char development that the T.V series had and I believe this OVA... See full review

Story- Very slowpaced, slice of life story about a guy and his motorcycle and the girl that likes him... theres really no other way to descibe this. The ending is also quite depressing. Animation- Really quite poor even for that time, I think the only impressive scene is the last one and thats only because theres some actual highspeed motion going on. Most of the animationis very slow moving... like the story. Sound- I don't even remember a single tune from this... really forgettable and Bobby's voice in the jap dub... sounds like he has mild autism. Characters- The characters consist of Bobby, his...

Story- The story isn't the most interesting story in the world. Its a mystery with some supernarutal elements, but it works for this kind of anime. I think the OVA uses the 1 episode run time to its advantage well, but it could have elaborated a bit more on the supernatural side. Animation- Characters have standard Josei/Shoujo char designs for that era, which look pretty nice. Nothing stood out as overly impressive though. There are parts where the colouring is changed in order to change the atmosphere, which I thought was pretty effective. Sound- Pretty forgettable, theres a cool 80's synth tune that... See full review
