Summary: Thrilling and filled with laughs!!!
Review: After two to three years of letting the license for this anime sit on the shelf, ADV Films has finally decided to reenact this anime for US commerical release!Generally, a person would not watch an anime like Burn-Up Excess for any sort of educational value whatsoever. It does not have heart-wrenching drama or a stunning story that makes you sit up and say "Wow!" Rather, a person would watch this if you needed something to laugh at. And Burn Up Excess provides lots to laugh about. Enter Rio, the foremost character of Burn Up Excess (and the one you see on the front cover.) She's broke, she overspends, and her answering machine is loaded with messages from various bill collectors. To pay all this, she works at Policetown HQ. However, what's special about her (or her job, at least) is that she belongs to Team Warrior. Team Warrior is a small elite crime squad that serves as a police special operations unit. Along with Rio in this unit are Maya, a green haired gun maniac, Yuji, a driver/pilot of all vehicles and part-time pervert, Nanvel, the mechanical genius, Lilica, the hyper computer hacker, and Maki, their boss, who is always cool and collected. Together, they face off against the many terrorist who would dare to take on the law, or Maya's big gun, or Rio's special-issue police baton, whichever is convenient. Ladies might not be as appreciative of this series as most gentlemen would be. This series is absolutely loaded with "fan service," or raw appeal for men. There is much suggested nudity (nothing concrete), as well as four of the five Warrior ladies have huge chest that will definitely lead to back strain later in their lives. Added to this is ADV Film's patented Jiggle Counter, an extra that can be set to show how many times the breasts of the Warrior ladies bounce during the DVD. This show was obviously created with the male fan in mind. So, if you feel you are in need of some laughs, then pick up this popular comedy/action anime, as there's a lot of fighting and loads of humor to be served up!

Summary: How can u not like this series
Review: Burn Up Excess is a great series. I enjoyed this disc very much, it was much better than I expected. The characters are all great, especially the machine gun crazy Maya. Granted this is a cliche anime. Pretty girls with big guns but it works. In my opinion it is worth every penny you spend for it and I can't wait for the rest of the series to be released.

Summary: Even Better Than Burn Up W, and That's A Lot!
Review: Burn Up W was great; great story, great music, and great characters! But Burn Up Excess takes it even further. Rio, Maya, Lilica, Nanvel, Yuji, and Maki return for another dose of the Burn Up series. If you haven't seen Burn Up W you can still understand the story, which makes Excess great! It's about Team Burn Up and the cases they take on, so think cop show with hot chicks and one "normal" guy. Rio is the female lead, which is ironic because she usually has money problems or ends up with nothing in the end. Yuji is hard to place because he acts "normal", so just think average guy around gorgeous women all day. Assisting the story and sometimes leading it are her co-workers: Maya the gun nut who really, really enjoys using guns, Lilica the cute computer specialist, and finally Nanvel, the prettiest technologist I've ever seen. Maki is the boss, which gives her little to work with but she still plays a big role. There are a few other characters, but I won't spoil it for you. Burn Up Excess consists of four volumes with four episodes on each. So, if you buy all four you got your day planned. The content is just like Burn Up W, so expect high doses of everything.

Summary: Very good, very funny
Review: By far the most enjoyable incarnation of Burn Up. If you were let down by the amazingly bad wrap up of the Burn Up W series, don't shy away from Excess. No previous knowledge of the Burn Up universe is required, but it certainly doesn't hurt. The storyline from Burn Up W continues into Excess, but-- again, no previous knowledge is required. The animation is excellent. Flawless. Spectacular direction and execution. Character designs have been tweaked and the series has a much more "serious" feel to it. If you think you'll miss the silly humor of the Burn Up W episodes, you may want to try before you buy. As for the rest of us... Excess is dead-on. A very strong set of episodes. Extras are solid. The Jiggle Counter is not always accurate, but we could argue all day. ;) Oh yeah, and if you like fan service, you just can't go wrong!

Summary: Funny, and bouncy to boot!
Review: I have to say, it's very hard to make me laugh, and this series made me laugh quite a bit. It's quite a step up from the first two Burn Ups. And of course, it helps that this show can not only make you laugh, but make you drool too!

Summary: Warrior is back!
Review: Team Warrior is back again in the new series Burn Up Excess. To start off, this is not a continueation of Burn Up Warrior. This is a whole new series. It is all around a great series, with just the right amount of action, comedy, guns, and girls to make it almost perfect. The characters are still the same as in Warrior, Rio with her money problems, Lillica with her techno junk, Maya with her fire arms obsession, and Yuji with his love for Rio and all around stupidity ... So if you like girls, guns, and a little humor ...Burn Up Excess if the show for you.
