Review
I am gonna split this review into 2 parts for the 2 episodes. The first episode is slow, boring, and has one okay fight in it. It made me depressed for buying it. Then the second episode saved this anime from failing miserably. It was more intriguing, had more action, and was just better all around. Battle Angel is mostly story, and in 70 minutes, that isn't alot of time, oh, and the story isn't even that good. Where did this girl come from?? Basically Gally falls in love with a arrogant dreamer that wants to get to the city above where they live...A city of beauty and power. All in all, Battle Angel isn't bad, but is nothing spectacular, get the low down below...
Overall:
6 / Battle Angel is just a "okay" title. Gally is one hot babe though, so she instantly makes it better. A definite rent!!PS: I heard that the subtitled version is alot better because the dubbed actors are horrible. I found them to be okay most of the way through...
