Burst Angel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

(Summary based on the entry on That Other Wiki)

Burst Angel, also known as Bakuretsu Tenshi, takes place in the near future. A rise in criminal activity after a devastating earthquake has forced the Japanese government to allow citizens to possess firearms, while establishing the Recently Armed Police Taskforce (RAPT), essentially Law Enforcement, Inc.. The series follows an Amazon Brigade of mercenaries, who have recently hired Ordinary High School Student Kyohei Tachibana as their cook. The team's missions put them against mutated monsters with glowing brains, Humongous Mecha with glowing brains, and a corrupt RAPT (which is, naturally, involved with the whole "glowing brains" issue).

Notable for being directed by Koichi Ohata, although it shares relatively little of the qualities of his other (in)famous works.
