A new law has passed in Tokyo... Ordinary people are allowed to freely carry firearms. Crime has turned citizens against each other in a fight for survival on the city's mean streets. Thanks to the Recent Armed Police of Tokyo, the arrest rate is going down. After all, the only prison a dead man needs is a hole in the ground. RAPT is taking away jurisdiction from local authorities quicker than they can draw their guns. In these dark times, an angel arrives on Earth. No one is sure if she came from up above or down below, but with her partners Sei, Amy and Meg, Jo's the best chance this town's got.Intrigued? You should be. This is Burst Angel, an exciting new anime from FUNimation due to hit your favorite DVD shelf on May 10, 2005. The story of Jo and her equally dangerous friends - Meg, Sei and Amy - Burst Angel is an action-packed sci-fi adventure into the darkest corners of human nature.
Our leading lady Jo comes with a mysterious past. Along with her friend Meg, Jo is recruited by Sei as a full-fledged bounty hunter and real-deal gun for hire. Jo is brazen, bold and full of moxie, (finally!) breaking the mold of more traditional female anime characters.
In response to a secret and deadly underground crime ring, our fearless foursome decide its time to take a stand. Someone's got to protect the city... it might as well be them.
You can see more Burst Angel at the official website, including some great artwork, edge-of-your-seat trailers and cool wallpapers for your desktop.
