Baldr Force EXE

Title: Baldr Force EXE
Rating: 4 of 5

I enjoyed watching this 4-part series and found that the storyline was a little overused but it was still fun to watch...

The story revolves around Toru a young teenage hacker is part of a small hacking team called Steppenwolf who travel the virtual world in mechanized robots causing mischief as fun.  As they are on their last hurrah, they are caught by FLAK (the cyber cops) and the leader of the team is killed by one of the FLAK officers.  Instead of facing jail time, Toru joins with FLAK to find the killer and avenge the death of his friend.  It's a rather wild ride as he's kidnapped by VSS, rescued by the Fei Dao, and he finds that he was part of a joint FLAK/VSS experiment when he was a child.  His sister was also part of the experiment and has since shed her mortal flesh and become a ghost in the machine.  Unbeknownst to everyone, his little sister has another personality where she absorbs data in the virtual world and kills the people in the real world (heads blowing up is rather comical).  Well, the end comes faster then desired and Toru is in a battle against his little sister to save the world.
