Burn Up Excess - To Serve and Protect (Vol. 1) description The 1997 television series Burn Up Excess was the second follow-up to the original Burn Up OAV (1991). Rio, the four other women of the Tokyo Police Warrior Team, and Yuji, the lone male, swing back into action, battling the machinations of the mysterious Miss Ruby. Although the Team solves hostage situations, jewel robberies, terrorist activities, serial underwear thefts, and underworld wars, Excess features less violence and more slapstick than the original. But the point of the series is the jiggle shots, gratuitous nudity, and jokes about men driven to unseemly behavior by animal lust. The extras include a "jiggle counter" that enumerates the number of times each character's breasts bounce. The buxom character designs and over-the-top shootouts embody the clichés that lead many Americans to dismiss anime as "Big Eyes, Big Breasts, and Big Guns." Rated 15 Up: Nudity, profanity, violence, sexual humor, alcohol use. --Charles Solomon |

| I'm not sure how many US anime watchers are familiar with the term 'fan service,' which the Japanese use for anime that specializes in the vaguely prurient. Nubile bodies, plenty of jiggle, and a sense of humor that hovers between salacious and downright bawdy. This isn't really pornography, but skates a thin line, and if done well, can be quite entertaining.
Burn Up Excess almost makes fan service into an art form. Set in the same Neo Tokyo that has served as the setting for some very serious anime, this series follows the adventures of the Warrior team, all young, buxom ladies who switch between underwear scenes and police shoot'em-ups without a blink. One is always broke, another is a gun freak, and there is even one male to act as a foil. Together, they take on criminals, terrorists, and estranged fathers. Seriously, this is a better series than it sounds - a lot of lighthearted humor and well done action to remind us that not every anime is either romantic or dire, or both. If you are likely to be offended by the horseplay, then pass this by, but the average American film is no better, and often has less of a story line. |
