Unfortunately Burst Angel is best known for its over the top and consistent fan-service which without doubt was deliberately injected into every episode sometimes in a rather jarring and obvious manner such as the swimming pool scene in the "Wash this Flower Garden with Blood!" episode however if you’re prepared to look past that then there is a decent series here underneath all the titillation.

To start with the anime looks and sounds wonderful with a gritty cyberpunk aesthetic running throughout the series which conveys the dystopian world the action takes place in with aplomb, special mention must go to the soundtrack which is great in its own right. The English dub is one of the better ones I have seen in recent times and it is available in subbed form depending on your preference for such things.

The story is a nice blend of intrigue and conspiracy set within a decently fleshed out world though it is let down by sometimes meandering to what only feels like filler content as well as the needless attempts to get even more fan-service in. The characters are a quite clichéd and they would have no harm done with a bit more fleshing out as the story progresses, no pun intended.

While the fan-service may put some off or of course draw people to it this is a series you definitely should give a try if you’ve never seen it especially if you enjoy cyberpunk in anyway. This is my first review on here so I’ve tried to avoid spoiling the plot, maybe a little too much but we’ll have to see.
