I watched this 4 episode OAV in English over the weekend of October 10th, 1998. The artwork and cinematography is very good, but it lacks a little on plot (choppy) and character development. It is very funny though, with lots of action, and follows in the same style of the original Burn
Up (which I thought was slightly better). The dub is the AD Vision standard, and it's pretty good. It's a typical 'sexy big busted bimbo cops save the day' series, and would be great for the times when you want to be entertained, but don't want to think too much. Maya is a lady after my own heart. I think my favorite seen is when Rio does her naked bunji jump from the helicopter (isn't that everyone's? ^_^).
