Overall:	Watch
Keywords:	1996, Action Comedy, Fan Service, OVA, Violent
Notables:	NEGISHI Hiroshi R1 License - ADV
A group of female cops wear oddly revealing uniforms and fight crime in unconventional methods, like bungee jumping nude out of helicopters. I'm not making this up. There appears to be some criminals operating in Tokyo that are more trouble than the normal police can handle. So the police call in their special forces called the Warriors. Each Warrior appears to be a master of their chosen Specialty (Ex:Maya is a weapons expert) and different ones are called up depending on the problem (Though Rio usually is involved). Adapted from the manga (wiki) by ‘Oh Great!’ (Wiki), who also created the manga for Tenjho Tenge, Himikoden and Majin Devil. [OVA, 1996, 4 episodes, 28 min; see also: Burn Up! plus the two TV series Burn Up Excess & Burn Up Scramble]

Burn Up W Hmmm....Either they really cleaned up the DVD version of this or I'm just a fan of large breasts flying around. (Or both!) Or the fact that I just watched HyperDoll and this is so much better. This is the OVA for the Burn Up Series. (Burn Up, Burn Up Excess and Burn Up Scamble) Yes, there is a ton of fan service (Mostly Rio). There is almost 0 nudity which did surprise me. The entire cast is devoted to Comedy except for a couple of members. But as a Action / Light Drama / Comedy I would rate it a rent because it actually has a real plot. All 4 episodes of this OVA have a plot that follows each episode (Though the first 2 are just comedy) and it leaves you at the end wanting to see Burn Up Excess and find out where the crooks are going.

Burn Up W Well, it wasn't bad enough to get an avoid rating, but Burn Up W isn't that good. If you have the opportunity to watch it for free, hey, go for it. Just don't pay money for it... The character designs were pretty good, unique looking and interesting. That's about only good thing about W. The story is sexist drivel, and pretty unconvincing drivel at that. Still, fanboys will have plenty to enjoy, with the women in impossibly tight uniforms (how do they even move in those things, much less stop criminals?) Once again, ADV films has proven that they are the scum of the anime distributing market, charging 25-30 dollars for 30 minutes per tape. This series from "the makers of Tenchi Muyo!" never ceases to disappoint. Last updated Friday, March 02 2001. Created Friday, March 02 2001.
