I made a big mistake in my last post about the Burst Angel OVA and would like to retract some statements. The Burst Angel OVA was not, as I mistakenly said, a sequel to the TV series. It is in fact a PREQUEL that takes place before Jo and Meg met Sei and Amy. In other words, the OVA is a complete waste of time and little more than filler episodes because we all already know how Jo and Meg met (totally shown in the TV series) and the manga shows how the group formed. And there’s no back story left to exploit anymore for a prequel to be of any interest!

The OVA DVD comes with 3 extra episodes. The first two are basically recaps of the TV series with all the good parts condensed. Not too interesting… but the magic of the OVA lies in the 3rd extra - a 3 minute long trailerish MTV of Loosey, the TV OP. Remember how we all thought Meg became godly? Yup, she really did. The 3 minute trailer shows the Burst Angel Team 5 years later, with Jo still missing.

Meg has a large red chopper, Takane-style, with a very cool oversized revolver with exposed chambers showing off the bullets. Whether or not it’s technically feasible is of no importance, she looks bloody cool. Meg’s facial features and expressions have lost the old weakness and innocence, replaced by sheer confidence and badassedness.

Sei is the office lady and transforms into her old costume, very sexily too. Her new hairstyle is totally mindblowing. She reminds me of Yamashita Shunya’s artworks, and that’s a great thing. Sei is now the Captain of the Elizabeth, the Burst Angel team’s spanking new Battleship. The crew are nekomimi too.

Amy does look like Minato of Zegapain here doesn’t she?

Amy has the most drastic change as expected of a girl who has undergone puberty. She’s now a full fledged high school girl! Complete with pretty princess curls and cute uniform.

The invisible man, Kyouhei, is now a chef at a castle. Wow. He has gotten the power eyes too.

The plot seems to be Maria returning with loads of monsters. Jo appears under her control and Maria molests her at will. How lucky. And there are big explosions everywhere.

I’m not sure if this was meant to be a trailer but it better be. If it was just a teaser "what if" type of clip, I suspect millions of Burst Angel fanboys will be marching in protest in front of their countries’ Japanese embassies very soon.

Man oh man, Meg and Sei two different kinds of hawt here. I thought that Sei took control of RAPT but I guess she likes her freedom. Sexiest office lady of the year hands down.

Yeah, this is rumored to be a trailer for the second season of Burst Angel. I’m not sure if this is true or not, but…I really hope it is! x333 ‘Cuz it looks awesome.

Crazy Burst Angel! x3

Wow, very good job with the order of things. One can hope that this is not a trailor, but one has to wonder too right? At any rate I feel things will be answered in due time. But, how much time is the real question on when the next part in the series will be released.

omgomgomgomgomg i dont care that it’s a prequel or w/e. i want it… when’s it coming to USA?!?!?!
16 lordfolken 1 comment Sep 25th, 2007 at 1:19 pm

Hmmm … i watched the OVA, and thought it was pretty good. Shows a bit more of Jo and Meg’s relationship w/o the hassles of bounty hunting/Rapt mess.

One thing tho’…

The teaser trailer with the Loosey song … it was mentioned here that Maria seemed to be back, with a clue-less Jo in tow.

I dunno … i dont think those two were actually JO and Maria. For one thing the Maria-look alike seems actually younger and not to mention physically different as well (wink). The same goes for Jo. I’d assume they’ve grown a lil’ bit, just by seeing the changes in Meg and Amy.

Ofcourse, there is a (real?) Meg and Jo scene at the end of the trailer, which shows a bit more *ahem* ‘developed’ Jo. (grin)

Also, for the ‘look-alikes’,both of their tattoos seem enhanced somehow?

So i am leaning more towards some weird experiment by those scientists. Oh well … one can never tell with Burst Angel.

Damn but i hope, Jo does come back. She was the driving force behind Burst Angel. At least for me. Go gunslinging wild girl!

In case anyone was wondering, they just released the date for the OVA in English. It comes out on November 13th of this year (finally! x3 ). So w00t!
18 Rey 1 comment Oct 17th, 2007 at 11:39 pm

The Trailer is an real for one other Seasons coming out later on, as for ther other i think its a Sequal or and Deffrent path from where the other one left off, all of it is true.
19 Leon Xenarax 2 comments Jan 4th, 2008 at 9:01 pm

Seriously, the old Sei is a hell lot better. Do i see a slight change of art style here?
20 O_o 1 comment Jan 25th, 2008 at 9:28 pm

26 The Artiste 1 comment Jun 12th, 2008 at 6:54 pm

Jo looks the same meg looks older and it really shows the molesting of Jo really is disturbing personally i dont think that looks like maria but meh that may just be me and im pretty sure the style of art has been changed ive seen the OVA and things just look more.. vivid
27 Yuki 1 comment Sep 4th, 2008 at 6:30 am

Well, I personally can’t wait. It’d better not be a what-if teaser, or I’ll die from the lack of closure. As to Maria looking slightly different; it’s possibe that she had to undergo some changes after being shot all to hell, and since we’re assuming that Jo got injured during the explosion, it’s possible that whoever put Maria back together gave her a little mind-controlled “toy” to go with it. After all, she did say that she liked Jo. And Meg smokes now? Hawt! XD

I can’t wait until the second season! It MUST COME OUT!!! I just finished the first season and now I’m all upset. I want Jo to come back!!! *runs away crying hysterically*
31 SirGladiator 1 comment Jan 14th, 2009 at 7:19 pm

I agree completely with the previous reviewer. I too just finished watching the first season, and I have to say the ending of Season One was just unbelievably horrible, nothing can prepare you for the punch in the gut that ‘is’ that ending. It seemed that everything was lined up perfectly for a fantastic ending, and then that second half of the final episode totally ruined everything that happened in the other 23 1/2 episodes. It would be awesome to get a second season to make everything right, and have Meg and Jo back together again.
32 Tachi 1 comment Jan 27th, 2009 at 9:22 am

When I saw Meg in this trailer, my first thoughts were “DAMN. SHE GOT SEXY.”
When I saw Sei I was like, “AHHN~”
When I saw Amy I was like, “Ooh, delicious~!”
And then I saw what seemed to Maria molesting Jo and I was like “D:”

;-; Get off Jo, whatever you are! -Is a Jo fangirl-

In any case, I really hope they make up a kick ass story line with a kick ass Meg, Sei, and Amy working together to find Jo and what not.

And if they do, please, no kidnappings. ;-;

I want to see Meg kick some ass now. Seriously. ;D
33 L0L182 1 comment Feb 3rd, 2009 at 3:18 am

I sincerely hope that it will start this year.

I really wanna see Meg fight more then just be kidnapped.
So far my searches of this season 2 has come up with nothing not even a hint except for this trailer that can be found on youtube, i do wonder if its even going to be released at all…

Sei now looks like a prettier version of Kristin Kreuk, if that’s even possible.

For You Who Don’t Own The DVD Box Set For The Scenes That You Never Seen Before Are Basically Burst Angel Character Concept Designs On The Infinity DVD Or The 7th Disc Of The Burst Angel Box Set, At Lest Thats What the Disc Implied I Just Thought I Might Shear That With You All ^_^

But For The Maria Thing There Where Grown In A Lab, And They Where Coded The Same Why Weren’t They ?

So It Is Possible That There Are More Then One Of Jo And Maria . . .

41 iRathiest 1 comment Jul 8th, 2009 at 5:03 pm

Personally, I don’t think there will be a second season.

Wait: before you chew me out, listen.

I think there’s gonna be a movie.

The animation has changed. It’s a lot smoother and resembles what SUNRISE did with Gundam 00. The graphical detail is very similar, as well as the character designs, proportions, and movements. In other words, the whole thing seems to be ramped up a notch. And, come on, the opening part with the red moon is just like how a movie would start. Maybe except Bleach, which started in a similar fashion.

Assuming that there is going to be a second season, we have no clue to what the main plot is going to be except that there seems to the a Mario and Jo back from (supposedly) the dead, with what looks like enhanced tattoos (further body enhancements?) and the ability to command those huge monsters.

To me, it looks like Meg’s taken up Jo’s old job of a bounty hunter. Either that, or a bandit, a special group, or something. You don’t go blowing up trains and taking on Cybots with a handgun unless you’re Jo. In this case, a kickass Meg is included somewhere in that formula as well.

Oh, and Meg had better not get abducted again. If she does, I’m writing a format complaint. Do we ever see Jo get captured except for that one time when Meg was used against her?

you no wat i think ur right there probaply is going to be a movie if u think about it
43 nobody 1 comment Jul 18th, 2009 at 4:40 am

When I first started watching this series I thought the cook would be the main character. I was really hoping he would come in at the end when all seemed lost and just blow the bosses brains out XD.

Any way is there any new news of a second season. I dont really understand what happened to joe since she was with that one chick when everything went co boom. I really dont want to see meg as some bad ass, I would rather it just stay joe, unless they want to make that chef kid some supper killer ;). on a finishing note I was wondering why it was all just girls made into super killing machines. Any one no why?

53 G0tR3set 1 comment Dec 8th, 2009 at 6:40 am

I just recently got done watching the 1st season of “Burst Angel” to sum it all up…IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!

When i first started watching it i thought Kyohei, the chef, was gunna be the main character. ya i was a little off on that. but still you think they could have made him a little bit less of a pussy, and ya there were a few episodes where he did grow a pair and man up.

As for Jo, i thought it was awesome how they made her the way they did. plus the way they made almost everyone in that anime super sexy. as for jo not having very big…you know….im actually ok with it. running around almost naked is good enough for me. in one episode meg even tells joe that she runs around almost naked and jo responds saying that its easier to fight that way. (ep.7 or one of those.

Definetly NEED another season. After the end of ep.24 i felt dead inside cuz i didnt know if jo and sei had survived. idk if i could have another season without jo. she makes up the whole show.
54 darkag3nt223 1 comment Mar 4th, 2010 at 12:34 pm

yea i know i want joe to come back and the hole cast they r FUCKING AWSOME they do make the whole show and i cant wate for another season
55 21k 1 comment Mar 26th, 2010 at 9:08 pm

Ye your absolutly righ Gotreset, this series is freaking awsome, litle sad with the ending to!!
If they r not expecting to do a 2nd season they at least could do a decent ending, or a ova were it shows Jo coming back to Meg, i was damn disapointed with that ending =(

Then i saw the OVA whit what i suposed to be a trailer for 2nd season, sure hope it is that!

And your defenetly sure, kyohei is a damn pussy xD

But i sure hope, someday they will do a 2nd season, even if Jo is at Maria side (like it is showned to us in the OVA) at least the story could be Meg trying to get Jo back to her, it would be nice i think =)

But resuming, realy awsome serie, whit a shity ending!

Lets all crosse our fingers and hope their to be a 2nd season ,D
56 jO4eva!! 1 comment May 7th, 2010 at 11:58 pm

I have the complete collection on Blu Ray, but I don’t see the 3 minute “trailer” giving a glimpse 5 years into the future on it. Anyone know if it was left off or where to find it?
