Burst Angel: The Complete Collection and OVA(TV) (2004)
A new law and a dark underground syndicate have delivered devastating chaos to Tokyo. The city's only chance for survival is a fearless mercenary, her dangerously beautiful comrades and a massively armed and armored mech. In this land where war has spread like a disease, they will have to put their very existence on the line and fight to be the cure. For more about Burst Angel: The Complete Collection and OVA and the Burst Angel: The Complete Collection and OVA Blu-ray release, see the Burst Angel: The Complete Collection and OVA Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on September 22, 2011 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.0 out of 5. Starring: Monica Rial, Greg Ayres Director: Koichi Ohata » See full cast & crew Burst Angel: The Complete Collection and OVA Blu-ray, Video QualityBurst Angel bursts onto Blu-ray with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.78:1. There have been persistent online reports that this is an upconverted offering, but FUNimation insists this is sourced from an HD native, and by the looks of things I for one believe them. Gonzo has always excelled at bright and colorful offerings, and Burst Angel really does burst—in a good, popping way—on this Blu-ray set. Colors are brilliantly saturated and gorgeously robust, and line detail is almost always exceptional (as seems to be the case with a lot of these animes, the animators just don't seem to care sometimes, especially with regard to big group scenes, where more of a slapdash look is frequently the norm). As stated above, while none of the character designs is especially innovative, everything is very sharply delineated here, and all of the characters look precise throughout the series. Some of the CGI is fairly basic and may not appeal to those spoiled on big budget summer blockbuster fare, but within the confines of a modestly budgeted anime series, the CGI elements (utilized for the mechas and other machinery) look decent and appropriately three dimensional. Aside from some very minor banding issues, there are really no artifacts of any import to worry about. Burst Angel: The Complete Collection and OVA Blu-ray, Audio QualityIn one of the more interesting commentaries included on this set, audio mixer Nathaniel Harrison actually gets to talk a little bit about producing an English surround mix for Burst Angel, and it's clear that FUNimation wanted this series to be an immersive experience. The good news is that both of the lossless audio options offered here, both Dolby TrueHD 5.1 mixes (in the original Japanese and the English dub), do offer a wealth of surround activity, really rather more than you might expect for a typical anime series. Burst Angel is of course bursting with action sequences, and therefore we get a lot of explosions, gunfire and combat populating the soundfield, often with very good and propulsive effects that careen from side to side or over the head of the listener. The series is awash in very good LFE a lot of the time. Dialogue is artfully mixed and always easy to hear. Both languages are fun to listen to, though some of the English voice work is distinctly out of step with the original Japanese language conceptions of the same characters (just toggle back and forth a few times to get a sampling). Fidelity is very strong throughout the series, and dynamic range is also exceptional. Burst Angel: Other Seasons
