Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com
Too silly to work as a police series, but too violent to play as a comedy, this over-the-top series vacillates between extremes but never achieves a satisfactory resolution. The Warrior Strike Team represents the elite of the Tokyo police force in the not-too-distant future. Except for Yuji, the lone, ineffectual male, its members are women who seem to specialize in skimpy outfits: blond heroine Rio, sharpshooter Maya, computer expert Lelica--aided by techno-wizard Nanvel and shrewd commander Maki. They're pitted against a gang of ruthless criminals who have created a "virtual drug," a sort of electronic mind-control system. The screenplay by Katsuhiko Kochiba and Sumio Uetake tries to build suspense, then undercuts it with slapstick sexual humor and vice versa. Episode 3 begins with the perennially broke Rio trying to sell her used underwear to a sex-shop dealer but ends with a violent bloodbath in which her best friend is killed. When Rio sobs over her friend's murder, it's staged so that the camera is peeking up her skirt. Many anime series successfully juggle comedy and violent conflicts (Cowboy Bebop, Gunsmith Cats, for example) but Burn-Up W never gels. Suitable for ages 18 and up: nudity, profanity, sexual humor, violence, violence against women. --Charles Solomon

Good Anime September 1, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is a Very nicely done Anime. One of the better ones I think but not for children. So if you are 18 and older you would enjoy it very much. The animation on it is wonderful and the story line is basic. Not hard to understand. I would not hold your breath for it to be on American TV. Go get the DVD ot tape.

rated 16 and up: (nudity, profanity, sexual humor, violence, violence against women)

Terrorists, virtual idols and financial woes. September 18, 2004
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Team Warrior is a team put together to deal with speical problems, like terroists and kidnapped virtual idols. But the team sometimes acts special themselves, being both greedy and violent, they end up causing as much damage as the criminals of Neo-Tokyo. Lets not forget the nude bungee jump and the giant anti-android mecha.
I really enjoyed the second episode, with the attack android, and these 4 episodes of Burn-Up W are the foundation for the 13 episodes in Burn-Up Excess.
Not much depth, but tons of fun.

Good Anime To Start July 8, 2004
I would like to first say that this was the very first Anime I ever saw and since then I've loved it as well as a small group of other anime. The characters are funny and you've gota love that hair they have. The only boy in the show is a prick which is always nice. :) Wouldn't recommend it for small children, but for teens and adults, I STRONGLY recommend it.

Anime Fanservice ^^ April 27, 2004
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Burn Up W, What can I say? Team Warrior has to uncover a conspiracy behind mind altering drugs. But the fanservice is great. Light nudity here and there but lots of jiggling cleavage and panty shots.Id recommend this and Burn Up Excess to anyone into comedy and police Anime. This DVD has great extras and plenty shots of Rio but not enough of Maya.... Anyway if you like the pervertive yet shy guy Yuji or the gun crazy Maya.Get this DVD

Very Nice June 16, 2002

This one had me laughing alot, I will say that, sadly it was mostly at the terrible voice acting and dubbing skills, those were pretty terrible. I watched in in Japanese after and still laughed, but this time it was at the jokes. Needless to say, this one will make you laugh.

There aren't many features on this one, but it is set up nice and it includes all 4 episodes from the Warrior series, follow up to the original Burn Up, which was a little superior in places. As with DP Flash and the style of redoing older anime in a new spectrum, this is one of those that faired pretty well in the attempt to keep the trend moving and will probably fair pretty well in time, better than DP Flash in most cases in the superior storylines, animation and humor.

The soundtrack on this one isn't anywhere near one of the best, but it does its job well enough and the action is humorous when it is supposed to well. I good release by ADV and one worth purchasing if you haven't already.
