Burst Angel, the 2004 sci-fi action series from Studio Gonzo, is now streaming in its entirety on Hulu and Crunchyroll, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The show plunges viewers into a near-future Tokyo where crime runs rampant, leading to the formation of the Recently Armed Police of Tokyo to combat escalating lawlessness.
The narrative centers on Kyohei Tachibana, a culinary student whose dreams of French pastry are derailed when he's hired as the cook for a squad of four highly skilled female mercenaries. These gun-toting operatives, armed with advanced cybernetic enhancements and a penchant for high-octane combat, navigate the dystopian landscape, engaging in thrilling mech battles and shootouts.
Produced by Gonzo, known for their work on Hellsing and Last Exile, Burst Angel delivers a blend of real robot action, dystopian themes, and a primarily female cast. While the series did not achieve widespread critical acclaim, its unique premise and action-oriented plot offer a compelling watch for fans of early 2000s sci-fi anime.
