7/10
Fun with the Danger Service Agency
5 February 2014
Warning: Spoilers
This series follows the members of the Danger Service Agency as they take on a variety of jobs; all of them dangerous. The group consists of protagonist Mikura Suzuki, a girl with combat skills; Kenichi Kurokawa, the agency's manager and noodle addict and computer expert Tomohisa Harada; they are occasionally joined by schoolgirl Asami Igarashi who wants Mikura to teach her how to be like her. Most of their cases only take one episode but there is something going on in the background; a mystery assassin appears to be targeting Kurokawa… who employed him and why will remain a mystery till the series approaches its conclusion when things get a bit darker.

This fun series is a sequel to 'Mezzo Forte' although you don't have to have seen that to enjoy this… in fact, judging by other reviews' it might be better if you haven't or you might find this a bit too tame! The small central cast are all entertaining in their own way; Mikura is a good lead and Kurakawa provides plenty of laughs. Their mode of transport; an pink VW Beetle, which is always getting damaged, also provided so laughs as it gets damaged yet again. The cases can be a bit 'Scooby-Doo'; in on episode they must transport a 'cursed mummy'! The animation is good enough and I rather liked the distinctive character designs. Normally I watch anime in Japanese with English subtitles but I watched this series dubbed and must say that I thought the cast did a pretty good job.
