Burn-Up Excess Vol. 2: Crimes and Missed Demeanors

» written by Wai Yung (Wayne) Chim [Discuss]

Synopsis
Polish your badge and grab your nightstick! It’s time for more curious cases with your favorite babes in blue –Team Warrior!
When a famous pop star is being stalked, racy cop-for-hire Rio is ordered to protect her. But when the singer comes into possession of a mysterious DNA pen, they find a stalker is nothing compared to the pen’s dangerous owner! Later, Maki remembers how she first came to meet the craziest cop on the Team. And when Maki takes a vacation, it’s up to the Team to solve a series of strange crimes on their own. But can they manage without their fearless leader?

Review
In Burn Up eXcess V.2 things start to get funny and finally the Team gets a glimpse of that lady with the grayish hair. The story progresses slowly as there are side stories. We get a clue that the secret organization that the lady works for is planning to smuggle arms into or out of Neo Tokyo. First episode of volume two, which is episode five, Rio, becomes the bodyguard of a pop star, who was a victim of a stalker. Through Rio and Anna’s discussions, Anna finally finds herself, what she wanted to sing and what she wanted to do without anybody telling her.

In episode six, Maki takes a vacation to Neo Hong Kong for personal reasons; the gang is put up with a lot of crimes to solve. First there’s the brutal “murder” case in the bathroom, then there’s the “who messed up the systems case,” and last but not least there’s a lost “child” case. Rio takes the lead, because of her greed, and after some of the funniest scenes out of Burn Up eXcess that I’ve seen so far. Team W solves all the case, by just solving one of them, which one do you think is the cause of the entire ruckus?

Episode seven, gives some background on Rio, what she was, how she became a WARRIOR and it’s all about the money of course. Rio’s closes friend just happens to be writing up parking violation tickets and all of a sudden, we got a robbery and she becomes their hostage. Rio finds out and at the same time Team W is on the case also, so… after some action scenes Rio joins Team W.

The Breakdown
Certainly, Burn Up eXcess is getting better by the volume. Followers of the series keep following, because it’s getting interesting.

 

» The Pros
The Jiggle Counter makes the show funnier. The ecchi humor was good for a few cracks.

» The Cons
Even though I like Burn-Up a lot, but this DVD just didn’t give me that boost to keep watching all at once. If there is a good anime I’m watching I stay there forever, but Burn-Up X wasn’t.

» Animation
8
1997 animation, still good for this series though.

» Sound
8
The opening and ending themes weren’t catchy.

» Story
8
Well, the intentions of the secret organiztion has been slightly revealed, so there’s some progress.

» Recommend
7
Burn Up eXcess is not one of those series that makes me watch everything at once, it doesn’t have that hook that latches onto you.
