"All Specimen Will be Die in 214 Weeks" "All Missiles Reached Moon and Explosioned" These direct quotes best encapsulate the level of quality, or lack thereof, that you can expect from this title. 6 Angels is a schlocky, low-quality sci-fi anime set in the year 2026, and the fact that, as of the time of this writing, 2026 has very nearly arrived, proves to be the most interesting thing about this work. It is dull, uninspired, and amateurish throughout. At the very heights, it manages to be unintentionally funny, and one could distantly sense the creative vision being reached for, but it goes without saying thatit certainly does not reach it. The story jumps right in as this team of all-female supercops are sent in to retake control of a dystopian mega prison from some deranged cult-like prisoners who have taken control of it, and who also have nukes for some reason. Also, somehow the soviets returned. To top it all off, Katherine's flashbacks, which are framed as significant, don't really seem to come up again and generally fail to pay off in any significant way. 6 Angels is poorly executed, and limps from one story beat to the next, lazily introducing cardboard characters with wooden dialogue, and hoping to distract with shocking moments and "flashy" CG graphics, which fall flat even for 2001, the year of its production.

This brings me to the art, which is simultaneously not good and also the strongest aspect of this piece overall. I'll start off kindly by highlighting that the art direction is actually interesting, with this sort of aspirational early-2000s tech vibe, with vibrantly colored computer screens, smooth rounded metal, and cool robots. The character designs are also alright. However, everything else falls flat; Jumpy, hard-to-follow visual composition, stilted animation that makes frequent use of jittery still shots, and, on top of all that, as far as I could tell there is only a very low quality copy available, even for the time. This is improved by a CRT filter, and I'd say it's damn-near required, because otherwise most of the shots are so garbled by digital artifacts to the point of being impossible to comprehend. The art style also renders it totally unclear that Sam and Tera are supposed to be separate dudes, which is a major and confusing failure.

The sound is totally unremarkable, with everything from the voice work to the sounds of life to the music being totally forgettable.

The characters are flat and bland, and seem to make random choices based on nothing at all. Maki's rant where she flies off the handle about being mad she has boobs or something is a prime example of this seemingly random character action, and just how little thought really went into the project as a whole. Overall, 6 Angels is hardly worth watching outside of its unintentional comedic value, and besides its ludicrous attempts at English, there's not much that's really even that memorable about this title.
