Pretty good, but . . .

". . . the others are better. If you're a fan of Burn Up W and/or Excess, you may not be happy with the flat-out re-write they did to the series. Rio is much less whiney, Maya isn't as much of a gun freak, and Yuji has been turned into a Don Juan.
Overall, Scramble is good. It's action-packed and loaded with fanservice. But the other series were definitely more funny."
Talk about bland...

"This first disc has the first four Burn-Up episodes of this new series. And they are bland. The stories are too simple, the artwork too normal, the character design almost too realistic (what happened to the jiggle factor folks?), the opening and closing music is boring, the future does not even look like the future but for a few items they tossed in to make it sci-fi.
While I'm happy to hear Wendee Lee and Lex Lang, I miss Tiffany Grant, Beth Wernick and Amanda Winn-Lee.
The main characters just don't feel right (too tame in most cases) and the humor just isn't there. I think they may have run out of steam or ideas."
