Notes OVA series.

Classification -

Synopsis A farcial action comedy about police girls.

Review BURN-UP W (AD Vision, 30 mins, cert 15, ｣12.99, dubbed & subtitled versions) This is inspired by the original Burn-Up OVA made in 1991. A bunch of bad-ass terrorists called the Falcon Claw take over a high-rise hotel where a plethora of influential govermental representatives have gathered. The terrorists baffle the police by making a set of bizarre and frivolous demands (such as making a baseball team manager apologize for losing). The president's right hand woman decides to comply with their wishes, to distract them while calling in the all-female special weapons & tactics team WARRIOR. As a diversionary tactic, team member Rio has to perform a nude bungee jump down the side of the building. All this may strike you as hugely funny, or possibly just hugely witless. I may be an old fogey, but I tended to the latter view, and can't think of any particular reason why I should want to view this a second time, since, female anatomy apart, it has nothing to distinguish it in the story, design, direction, or music departments. At ｣12.99 for 30 mins, it also seems rather poor value for money, and I wonder if AD Vision are not making a mistake in applying such pricing to UK fans who enjoy some of the lowest video prices in the world, and are accustomed to paying about ｣6 for Manga Video tapes of 30 mins (or 50 mins, in the case of Giant Robo).
I saw #1 which didn't impress me much - very silly.
