Another anime show finished well after it's finished airing. This time it's Viper's Creed arguably not the best or worst series of the season a fairly run of the mill future establishment vs establishment mecha involved type show. In this case it's the military vs some privatized mercenary group that is responsible for protecting the city from rouge armed robots that like to terrorize the highways. The Privatized mercenary group is referred to as Blademen and it focuses on the best group out there is the unit called Viper. Viper and other blademen use what is known as a Meneuv-roid and is a transforming bike like vehicle that transforms into a bipedal robot and is heavily armed to fight bugmechs.
Now that's all fine and dandy the military vs Viper part starts with a terrorist group called hound and is actually a tool used by the main bad guy to eventually blame Viper for everything that is wrong in the worlds so that the military can make a come back from being considered the bad guys thanks to the previous wars that left people with a bad taste in their mouth about how the military does things.
So when you get to the last couple episodes you find out that the whole thing was a plan to get the people to forget about what the military had done and use Viper as a stop gap the only problem is that Viper was just too good so the people behind the scenes decided to set up Viper as a scapegoat. So Viper ends up fighting for their lives to clear their names and expose the military for what they are doing. Several members die and it's all rather touching.
Just to bad it wasn't any better than it was. It had great potential but it just took to much time getting you involved in the main plot that just seemed to be way to short and then out of no where out pops the dead guy as a token savior to the people. However if you really have a thing for Office Ladies you just might like this as there are plenty of them and that's all you'll get for any fanservice. the Mecha is pretty cool but the plot just seems to drag on that pile every into the last few episodes. It would be worth a rent I believe but definitely not a must buy show so I don't cry any tears if it doesn't make it to States.
