Burst Angel is another clear example of a good anime being ruined by wanton fanservice and by being too long for its own good. The story could have been summed up in 13 episodes, but it dragged on with so many pointless side stories and filler episodes that it took away drastically from its momentum. The story is kinda weak, but interesting. They definitely took time out to create this intriguing future Japan. The art was great, but there was too much fanservice, but not as much as compared to other anime. Could you believe it when I say it was actually 'tasteful'? Like, sure, theirboobs were huge and stuck out and they were half-naked all the time. But I didn't feel icky and disgusted by it.

The characters were good, Jo and Meg have an interesting relationship. The misfortune of Burst Angel is that they concentrated more on the "damsel in distress, use mecha to save her, shoot-'em-up" aspects that the characters couldn't have been as fleshed out as they should have been.

I liked the first eight episodes of this a lot. Then it got all unfabulous right after. Is it worth your time? Well, I watched it, and my time is fabulous.
