| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Junpei is fireproof, he wasn't even singed one bit when he came out of the building considering he was very near the center of the explosion. Anyway, this was interesting...and a fleeting one at that, and also forgettable. 6/10 |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| the best anime I've ever seen in all my life ! |
| That floppy flashbang was awesome. First time I'm seeing those osborne type computers in anime. This ova was really great 8/10. |

| Dub was so bad it was funny. 4/10 because I wasn't bored watching it. |

| This was awful, everything about this anime was lazy, from it's plot to the animation, to the most boring action sequences I have ever seen in any anime. For crying out loud it was like they were moving through a vat full of goo. Maybe I should have watched the dubs instead the subs because at least maybe I could have got some entertainment out of how bad they were... Might write up a proper review when I'm less tired because I feel like all the other reviews are way too forgiving of this dreck. |

| I think it looked pretty good and it was fun to watch. It took a little bit to suss out the relationships between the characters, which makes me think this is probably a manga adaptation and we are expected to already know the characters. Keiko is quite nice looking, nice dresser. At first I though the "weapon to surpass Metal Gear" was a drone, and was only controlled remotely and I'm like, hey, this is an 80s OVA that actually got the near future right-but after the control console was destroyed it went berserk implying an AI. By the end, it's not clear what about the disc or robot is illegal- the motives are unclear. Was the professor opposed to his research being used for a weapon, so they killed him to stop him from leaking proprietary information? That's what NDAs and lawsuits are for. Are mecha not allowed in Japan or something? Was it the fail-deadly nuclear reactor? lol Without some explanation of motive, there wasn't a whole lot of reason for this company to not act in an above-board manner. It's definitely cyberpunk in that the techno-industrial corporation must be evil by nature lol |
| That helicopter chase scene is the stuff of legends. This was one of the most rubbish dubs I've seen in a long time. |
| I mean, the whole mesagge about goverment conspiracies and stuff is nice, but the OVA just fails miserably at being even sightly interesting. And yeah, pretty poor dub. |
 |
| I enjoyed it, and Junpei is a cool character especially in the robot fighting scene, Akira also,but I wonder why he was walking with a cane when he's agile as a trained spy, The art-style was really good, and I loved the story, not the best adaptation, but it was good for a 50 min OVA, I'll give it a 7, too bad it's not a series.  |

| I quite enjoyed that. It has a slow build but the general style is a very 80s action film, so much so I was fantasizing through alot of the final act how much I wish it was a live action 80s flick. Soundtrack and general action were all on point. The english dub was abysmal but I went with it for some reason. I loved the robot design! Reminded me of the Madox suit and the The Enforcement Droid from Robo Cop. Shame this didn't get a slightly longer running time, a bigger budget and perhaps more talent behind it. With more fleshed out characters, maybe some romance and better animation it really could've rivalled Megazone...though I'm probably overselling it lol |
