Introduction
Deep in the deserts of southwestern United States lies "Neo Purgatory." Formerly a nuclear waste disposal site, the facility has been turned into a prison for hardened criminals; that is, until the prisoners weaponize the nuclear waste and riot, turning Neo Purgatory into an international disaster.
Maki Aoba, Doris Nicholas, Marilyn Moreau, and Naomi Jones make up the "Guard of Rose," an all-female special police task force. Along with stowaway Katherine Hook and multi-purpose robot Link, the Guard of Rose is on patrol investigating rumors of an "angel" near Neo Purgatory when their helicopter is shot down. As the crisis within the prison rapidly devolves, the Guard of Rose members might be the only ones who can stop the prisoners before they unleash nuclear armageddon.

"All Specimen Will be Die in 214 Weeks" "All Missiles Reached Moon and Explosioned"
These direct quotes best encapsulate the level of quality, or lack thereof, that you can expect from this title. 6 Angels is a schlocky, low-quality sci-fi anime set in the year 2026, and the fact that, as of the time of this writing, 2026 has very nearly arrived, proves to be the most interesting thing about this work. It is dull, uninspired, and amateurish throughout. At the very heights, it manages to be unintentionally funny, and one could distantly sense the creative vision being reached for, but it goes without saying that it certainly does not reach it. The story jumps right in as this team of all-female supercops are sent in to retake control of a dystopian mega prison from some deranged cult-like…

Ok, so I'm gonna try not to dump on this anime too hard seeing how it's just an ONA.
Story 4/10
This had so much potential but the way they executed it was weird. It had an interesting enough concept, but the transitions weren't very smooth and it was hard to keep track of what was going on. The synopsis does a better job explaining the anime than the actual anime. There were definitely times where I went "This scene isn't too bad. Too bad I don't know what's happening..."
Art 5/10
It wasn't spectacular and it wasn't terrible. It was everything I expected from an anime that came out in the early 2000's.
Sound 5/10
Ehh, nothing to write home about.
Characters 5/10
As surface level characters they were just ok. Aside from the the main antagonist, you don't really get a backstory/mot…

Show is awkwardly on the "so bad it's good" threshold. MCs are likeable with nice comedic moments. But overall it wasn't bad enough in a way to make the serious story unintentionally funny. I'm also left with an uncertainty whether I enjoyed it or not.
Story:
Main themes include human nature, pollution/environmental awareness, & feminism (only slightly about Guard of Rose). The story/message are simple, happy end, but presented in a convoluted, multi-party/betrayal/reconcilation way. Best watch it as a 90 minute film, to connect pieces from the rough & messy editing/directing. [MINOR SPOILER] For example, the MC team's crash land is interrupted by a long multi-scene flashback. After landing, a few random short cuts of different time & place appear before returning to the team. Exposition h…

6 Angels is a contentious work, it gets a lot of flak from the community, and I feel like much of it is deserved. However, I went into it without any pre-conceived expectations, and in this review, I shall judge the show based purely on it's own merits.
Set in the year 2031, the show tells the story of a special task force named the Rose Guard, who apparently patrol all over the world. However, we never see any of that, as this tells the story of them crash-landing in a specific place and trying to fight off some crazed cyborg terrorist.
The story is kind of basic, which isn't great, but I would be fine with it if it was presented well... however, it's not. The story is presented in a fairly slapdash manner. One scene jumps to the next, not giving the viewer much time to focus on anythin…

I feel morally obligated to warn the entire anime community about the flaming turd biscuit known as 6 Angels. Over the years I have seen some god awful anime; Mars of Destruction and Bronze come immediately to mind but I don’t think anything could really be worse than this series. It in all seriousness, probably deserves 1's across the board but a great deal of my completely unenjoyable experience with 6 Angels comes from the terrible subbing job. Because of that I can’t entirely hold its nonsensical story against it since the subs are not the original creators fault.
As I mentioned, the terrible job with the subs made following the story or even understanding it difficult. Normally I would never even bring up such a thing in a review, however I am also quite confident in saying that I th…
