Another brilliant episode. All predictable, but doesnt make it any less awesome. I loved the first shot of the space lift, going past clouds into space. Also when the bad guy explodes into space but transports back into the station. Good stuff.

Got a real flash back of Vampire Hunter D here, which is good! That was VERY cool when he regenerated his shoulder. Lots of nice slicing and dicing this episode. Wire weapon was crazy but makes for some good flashy 90's gore.

Stiff a bit miffed why they didn't just make Varsus a female character. Would have made the show a lot more interesting. You have three MCs, all dudes except you take the last one and make him a girly femdoll? Why? Japan... *facepalm*
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!

Also my favourite of the three, and definite VHD vibes. Would've been happy to see this go on as a series.

...btw are we to think that when he fell down in the lift shaft, he rid his string all the way back down to earth from space? :P

That was nice, weird, but nice nonetheless.

I don't think that's a katana, but okay.

Pretty lackluster conclusion. I would have much rather seen a fitting end for our three criminals than a girl we just met.

Thought it was weird how Sengoku was being made to be the odd one out when he tried to stop Benten, but maybe that was part of the joke.
The approach on character focused episodes was interesting and got more emotional as we finally moved over to Benten's, but that was at the cost of the overarching story not really going anywhere, which I guess is fine. Anime was good, though.

Benten-centered episode and cyberpunk vampires! I liked it. I think it was my favorite episode out of three. Very poetic, as an episode about Benten should have been.

This anime was really entertaining to watch. It also had awesome animation, art and voice acting. I wish there were more episodes.

This set was a classic until this entry, just not quite up to snuff with the others. First two eps were classics, but this one just seems like they were fried out. Can't imagine the work that went into these OVAs back in the day. 

Great series, just couldn't end on an all-time note. Very worth the scope.
