Junpei is fireproof, he wasn't even singed one bit when he came out of the building considering he was very near the center of the explosion.

Anyway, this was interesting...and a fleeting one at that, and also forgettable. 6/10
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

That floppy flashbang was awesome. First time I'm seeing those osborne type computers in anime. This ova was really great 8/10.

Dub was so bad it was funny.

4/10 because I wasn't bored watching it.

This was awful, everything about this anime was lazy, from it's plot to the animation, to the most boring action sequences I have ever seen in any anime. For crying out loud it was like they were moving through a vat full of goo. Maybe I should have watched the dubs instead the subs because at least maybe I could have got some entertainment out of how bad they were...

Might write up a proper review when I'm less tired because I feel like all the other reviews are way too forgiving of this dreck.

I think it looked pretty good and it was fun to watch. It took a little bit to suss out the relationships between the characters, which makes me think this is probably a manga adaptation and we are expected to already know the characters. Keiko is quite nice looking, nice dresser.

At first I though the "weapon to surpass Metal Gear" was a drone, and was only controlled remotely and I'm like, hey, this is an 80s OVA that actually got the near future right-but after the control console was destroyed it went berserk implying an AI.

By the end, it's not clear what about the disc or robot is illegal- the motives are unclear. Was the professor opposed to his research being used for a weapon, so they killed him to stop him from leaking proprietary information? That's what NDAs and lawsuits are for. Are mecha not allowed in Japan or something? Was it the fail-deadly nuclear reactor? lol

Without some explanation of motive, there wasn't a whole lot of reason for this company to not act in an above-board manner. It's definitely cyberpunk in that the techno-industrial corporation must be evil by nature lol

That helicopter chase scene is the stuff of legends. This was one of the most rubbish dubs I've seen in a long time.

I mean, the whole mesagge about goverment conspiracies and stuff is nice, but the OVA just fails miserably at being even sightly interesting.

And yeah, pretty poor dub.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
