CHARACTERS.
Angel. A very tough female cop who shoots first and asks no questions. Her work is her live and she lets nothing get in her way.
Raiden. He is Angel's partner. Unlike Angel he isn't so ruthless and usually tries non-violent methods first. After being critically hurt in a crash he is rebuild with cybernetics.
Ichihara. He's the head of the institute for cybernetics. He finds Raiden critically wounded and takes him with him to his lab.
Hunters. This small group of psychics were trained by the military. Each hunter has special abilities making them extremely powerful and deadly.
Asuro. One of the Hunters. He can teleport, use telepathy and telekineses. Although he hates criminals and has no trouble killing them he doesn't want to hurt innocents.
Freya. Dispite her young age she is a Hunter. She can use telepathy and can create a powerful shield to protect herself. She always stays close to Asuro with whom she is friends with.
Lucifer. Leader and most powerful of the Hunters. She can use telekineses and drain her victems of knowledge and power. She can use her powers to regenerate and is extremely tough. Like Angel she will let nothing stop her and she is without mercy.
Red May. One of the many terrorist organisations that threaten the peace. The have the bad luck of being selected by both the Hunters and the police.
ART & MUSIC.
Both the art (3/5) and music (3/5) are OK. The art is a bit dated but still good.
VOICE ACTING
The Japanese acting was great as usual (5/5). I didn't see the English dub so i have no idea how good or bad it was.
Personal note. A standard tough cop movie with the tough cop being a female this time. I have absolutely no problem with this and i usually prefer this over male characters. Unfortunately it doesn't work in this case as the story is very bad. Also the Raiden thing bothered me. Not the fact that he gets turned into a killing machine but the way it is done. The entire procedure takes place in a day and not only that but he apperently has no problems with it. If i were to wake up after a crash and some wierd docter i never saw before tells me i'm now a cyborg i would be pretty darn pissed.
If you have any questions please let me know. Also tips and comments about how i can make this sort of blog better are more than welcome.
