Angel's Anime Rating Guide

A while back, I picked up Angel Links ... Volume 1: Avenging Angel Meifon Li is... ...the head of a major corporation, ...the captain of a state-of-the-art space ship, ...a formidable martial artist, a skilled negotiator, ... only 16 years old! Meifon is an extraordinary girl, with an extraordinary tale to tell. Join Meifon as she and the crew of the Angel Links run a free pirate-fighting service. She's rounded up a crack staff of experts, including the master strategist Valeria and the unstoppable Dragonite Duuz. They're going to clean up the galaxy, and they're not afraid to get their uniforms dirty!

Years ago, I picked up the VHS version of Cowboy Bebop ... Session 1 The year 2071 A.D. That future is now. Driven out of their terrestrial Eden, humanity chose the stars as the final frontier. With the section-by-section collapse of the former nations a mixed jumble of races and peoples came. They spread to the stars, taking with them the now confused concepts of freedom, violence, illegality and love, where new rules and a new generation of outlaws came into being. People referred to them as Cowboy Bebops...  Meet Spike and Jet, a drifter and a retired cyborg cop who have started a bounty hunting operation. In the converted ship The Bebop, Spike and Jet search the galaxy for criminals with bounties on their heads. They meet a lot of unusual characters, including the unusually intelligent dog, Ein, and the voluptuous and vexing femme fatale, Faye Valentine. See why Cowboy Bebop was Japan's best-selling anime title in 1998.

At a time when video tapes still stalked the Earth, I picked up the VHS version of Geobreeders ... The brave men and women of Kagura Total Security work around the clock to rid the world of its most troublesome pests - phantoms! Their only weapons: their wits, the most advanced computer technology, and ... REALLY BIG GUNS! Okay, so they're a bunch of trigger-happy lunatics. But when a young friend gets kidnapped by a mysterious enemy, the Kagura team is her only hope. Boy, is she in trouble.

Way back in the misty down of time, I picked up Hand Maid May ... Volume 1 Maid To Order Nanbara is furious! Nanbara, the self-absorbed, pompous, overbearing villain of our show has always resented Kazuya, the constantly distracted hero, and developed a virus to exact his ultimate revenge. Unfortunately, "revenge" became an accidental delivery of a 1-foot tall cyborg maid whose sweetness is only exceeded by her cheerfulness! Will Nanbara's schemes of revenge ever become realized? Will Kazuya be able to pay the $1,450,009 bill? Join May and our new cast of lunatics for a wild ride to explore the cutting edge of computer peripherals.

A while back, I picked up  Pet Shop Of Horrors ... Based on the hit manga by Mori Akino, Pet Shop of Horrors comes to life in animation. Welcome to Chinatown's most unique pet shop. There is a variety of exotic creatures to choose from, each with an intriguing tale to share with the lucky owner. But be careful, what you see is not necessarily what you get. Here is a collection of four stories of lost love, second chances, and redemption. Whether or not the client can handle the responsibility, however, is a matter of life and death.
