11/06/2005 In 'Variable Geo,' waitresses who are also experts in exoteric martial arts styles battle in a series of matches to be named the world's battle queen. There's a darker side to the Variable Geo tournaments... and our heroines end up running headlong into it. I thought 'Variable Geo' sounded like a hoot, so I picked up up. There are three episodes of the series on the VHS tape I watched. The first ten minutes are the tone I would have expected... but after that, the concept of warrior waitresses is started to be taken seriously not only by the story, but, the episodes assume, by the viewer as well. It's a flaw that turns what could have been a fun romp into a rather excrutiating 80 minutes. To make matters worse, the episodes here end on a cliffhanger. I imagine this means the creators hoped there would be more episodes; maybe there are, but I won't be looking for them. Of course, it could also mean that this is a cartoon based on a video game I'm not familiar with, and the cliffhanger is acutally where the game starts. (If it is a video game, then the fighting waitresses make a bit more sense... but that would mean this is an even worse work than I'm giving it credit for: I should be able to come to an adaptation of a property from one genre to the next with no knowledge of its existence in another form. On the techincal front, the animation was average and the voice acting (in the English dubbed version) was slightly above average. See more Read all reviews
