Burst Angel
Manga Review
Meg and Jo are the team from "Jack of All Trades", two smoking-hot hired guns who'll take on just about any dirty job if the price is right. Jo's the indestructible crack-shot and Meg... well, ... Meg has a talent for getting abducted. But when these sexy mercenaries are forced to hide out at bully-magnet Takeru's apartment, it's the beginning of an unlikely friendship amidst the flying bullets and foiled kidnappings!
 Based on the hit anime, this manga's got only one thing hotter than the action, and that's the girls pulling the triggers!
GONZO has been taking their "made for TV" concepts and has been successfully translating them into the printed medium. The manga is remarkably well drawn and laid out, allowing the action sequences to flow smoothly, retaining the edge-of-your-seat excitement of the anime.
Below: The Burst Angel manga is action packed!

Burst Angel
Anime DVD Review
The high-action, not-that-much-plot Burst Angel recalls the halcyon days of Bubblegum Crisis, except that animation studio Gonzo ups the anime action ante — there's very little time to worry about the characters with all those explosions!
 As a Girls-With-Guns series, it's over the top, both in terms of the action and the fan-service, and overall as an anime, it does not disappoint — and cowardly Kyohei is clearly the star as comic relief. The DVD is loaded with extras as well, so grab this delicious series and have a blast!
