of VERY brief nudity, not-very graphic bloodless violence and adult situations. Maki, Reimi and Yuka decide to go after McCoy, the head of a White Slavery ring, but find he is not just very powerful, but also ruthless.
My tape was used but even when you take that into account the artwork was also aged, very dated. The tape's copyright was 1991, which places the production of the anime in the late 80s. The tape did have bonus production art, both in the closing credits and afterwards, so don't turn it off just because the credits stop scrolling. There is a couple of trailers at the start of the tape. Only two things link this story to Burn-Up W! The song "Burn Up Your Heart" and the fact that I was able to recognize Tiffany Grant's voice as one of the characters - Maki I believe. She is also Maki's English voice in Burn-Up W! Maybe a DVD would of gotten more than three stars, but the story is too bland to get more than three even with the extras. 
When is ADV going to release this on DVD?

First of all, it should be known that the storyline of this one-shot OAV is NOT related in anyway to the storyline of the Burn-Up W/X-cess series. The title is near-identical and the basic theme (comedy/action about buxom, unconventional Tokyo police babes vs. nasty criminals in the not-too-distant future) is similar, some of the ADV English voice actors have roles in both, (Amanda Winn, Tiffany Grant and Kimberly Yates,) but the story is completly independant from the series. And no, the Maki that we meet here is NOT a younger version of the Maki from Burn-Up W/X-cess series.O.K., enough yammering, here's the plot. (Admitedly a fairly simple one, given the shortness of this anime.) Criminals are kidnapping young women and selling them one the market as sex slaves to rich guys. Maki, Remmi and Yuka are three traffic cops who decide to go undercover at the dance club where many of the recent kidnappings have occured to see if they can get to the bottom of things. But things go bad and Yuka ends up getting kidnapped herself! The next day Maki and Remmi, along with their male police buds, go to the chief to see if he can do anything about it. However, Yuka's kidnapper, McCoy, is very wealthy and powerful and has friends in high places and the chief is convinced there's nothing that can be done, so Maki and Remmi, putting their carrers as well as their lives at risk, steal some body armor suits, weapons and an armored truck and go off on a personal quest to rescue Yuka and take down the slave ring while they're at it. My question is, why is this still not available on DVD? Has it not sold enough copies? C'mon, ADV, we're eagerly waiting! 
"Burn up my heart"

"Burn Up!" is actually a very good Anime. Definitely not the best, but still good. I would classify it as one of those movies that you find later on as you become more widespread in your selections of Anime. Alot of people like to start with the more popular Anime such as "Evangelion", "Ranma 1/2", "Slayers", and "Ghost in the Shell". If you're a BIG fan, I wouldn't recommend passing this one up. Overall I really enjoyed "Burn Up!" (I even own it). All 3 girls were great, but Maki would have to be my favorite. On a scale of 1 to 5: Animation: 4 I recommend renting "Burn Up!" before buying it. Also I recommend seeing these other great overlooked Animes: "Compiler 1 & 2" and "Voogie's Angel".

well i just saw this film about a month ago and it's not that bad at all. some nice artwork, babes (as i stated before), and a half decent story ligne. Die hard fans of Burn Up should really enjoy this. if you're a first timer, you might want to rent it first or find someone who already has it.

It has good animation (though i dont like the gay looks they give the charecters e.g big ball of sweat on forhead etc..) not much blood, a little bit of nudity. Good if your a die-hard anime fan.
