Summary: Good anime... well worth it!
Review: All I can say is... this anime was good! If you have played Advanced V.G. 1 or 2 you will definitely like this anime! There needs to be a sequel!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very Disappointing
Review: Although the visual quality was good, the story line was poor to non-existent at points. There was little combat and what there was ran by very fast and without and sort of challenge. This was not what I expected from a combat show.

I was very very disappointed in this video, and would recommend NOT BUYING it to everyone.

Summary: Who comes up with this stuff?
Review: I don't know anything about the game this video is based on. I bought the video because there was a buxom babe on the cover and it said "17+". (If this makes me a pig, so be it.) After a few minutes I learned the basis of the movie, namely, waitresses are fighting in a tournament. The winner gets money; the loser has to take off her clothes. My first thought on learning this was the intelligent and well-thought-out query: "Whut the--?!"

As I watched more, I can't say the premise made a whole lot more sense, but the movie was decent. The animation was surprisingly good and the fights were cool, though nowhere near the level of Street Fighter II: TAM. The story was actually pretty good, too, better than SF2 or Fatal Fury: TMP. The movie also benefitted from who I consider a very cool villain. This was Damien, the long-limbed, misshapen psychopath whose drug-induced speed and strength make him more than a match for the fighters of the tournament. My only real complaint (and here comes my piggishness again) was that there was not as much nudity as I might have hoped. The main character, Yuka, is absolutely gorgeous but never takes it all off. Bummer.

Still, this was a good title and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't need anime to be as thoughtful as Akira to enjoy watching it.

Summary: Very Tight Anime Fighting Title
Review: I have no clue why someone could give this video less than 4 stars. It's one of the best action flicks I have ever seen. The dubbing was EXCELLENT and the animation was super smooth. The fight seens were incredible especially the special moves. They were bright and spectacular and the story was also cool. There is drama in this video but can be really funny at times. This video is well worth a look. Especially since its so cheap and its 90min! Can't beat that. Think about it...Scantily clad waitresses fighting, and the loser has to take it all off. I'd recommend it to 17+ since it does have mature situations. Great video! BUY IT!

Summary: Fatal Flaw: Takes a Silly Concept Seriously
Review: In 'Variable Geo,' waitresses who are also experts in exoteric martial arts styles battle in a series of matches to be named the world's battle queen. There's a darker side to the Variable Geo tournaments... and our heroines end up running headlong into it.

I thought 'Variable Geo' sounded like a hoot, so I picked up up. The first ten minutes are the tone I would have expected... but after that, the concept of warrior waitresses is started to be taken seriously not only by the story, but, the episodes assume, by the viewer as well. It's a flaw that turns what could have been a fun romp into a rather excrutiating 80 minutes.

To make matters worse, the first three episodes end on a cliffhanger. I imagine this means there's a 'Variable Geo II' on the horizon. It's a sequel that I at least will be ignoring.

On the techincal front, the animation was average and the voice acting (in the English dubbed version) was slightly above average.

Summary: Best Female Fighting Anime EVER!!!
Review: The characters are very cool. The concept is different. Nobody wants to watch the same type of anime all the time. This is like Sailor Moon with the seriousness and fighting style of Dragonball Z. It is hardcore kickbutt action. Anybody that likes fatal martial arts action, this is for you. Beware, the moves and powers they use rips of their opponents clothing to reveal some mature parts of the body.
