Pulled Bakuretsu Tenshi out of the cd dump and finished it.
It had the 3Gs I'm intrested in, mainly in no particular order, girls (oh god I'm falling to the pervert side), guns and gundams (or in other words, mecha
)
It was a story about a group of 4 female bounty hunters / merceneries who work for a syndicate (or mafia, in the vcd version I bought) armed with guns and 1 mech in a futuristic world.
Review time, and since you can't really do a review without spoiling some parts,
look away if you dislike spoilers.[/color]
Characters - so so, no thanks to the main focus on 1(?) character only. The others are mostly unused. The guy (Kyohei)whos involved at the start... He plays the part of utilty character, dumped in whenever they need someone for a role. Joe goes blasting all day (and night) round (think Beyond the Grave @ *dead* Brandon Heat of Gungrave), Amy the tech geek, Sei the leader and Meg who dresses like a cowboy but practically useless. (watch and you'll see)
Character design - Hmm... the girls look pretty good (unless you dislike extra big boobs)... Especially Sei (maybe it's the chinese touch to the character. :lol:) Amy gives me the creeps when she gives the evil look. :roll:
Animation - Pretty good. The mech battles are worth looking at thanks to the fluid animation. Battles are somewhat on the short side... Damn.
Mech design - Good. I just somehow like looking at shiny objects. Nothing really groundbreaking here...
Style - Erm... It's kinda nice actually... lots of cool scenes... but by the end you'd notice something familiar and also think that they try too hard to be cool. Those makes it uncool.
Story - It's good. (watches another episode) Boo... (watches another episode) Cool... (another episode later) Thumbs down... A roller coaster ride. Lacks consistency. All in all the story could've been good, but it needs more refining...
Sound - The OP isn't nice, and they use lots of cowboy associated bgm along the way. May suit the way Meg dresses.
Ending - Lacks the oomph that normally defines the end of a (and ocasionally THE) series... Most of the time people recall how good a series is by its ending. I'd rate this as among the lamest of endings I've ever seen. (Soukyuu no Fafner at least fares better than this)
Comments -~> If you aren't really picky with storylines, the action scenes which are frequent should be good enough to keep you going. And if you don't think and expect too much, it should be ok.
