Nice! And I think this is actually based on a beat-em-up game... or the game is based on this? I recognize the red tengu guy as a PC in that.
The anime and manga are old 80 or 90, the creator is Buichi Terasawa ( space cobra) I like it anime the heroine too fight with hot zakos and killer it hot babes in combat.

Back after a very long absence to post an interesting and very worthwhile find!

In the series Freezing, Pandora (パンドラ) are genetically modified girls who undergo intense training at special military schools in order to become soldiers and learn how to fight the Nova, creatures from another dimension that are invading the Earth.
These girls are generally recruited at the age of 10, where their abilities are first tested, before beginning their full training as Cadets, and are are subject to brutal training. Surprisingly however, the vast majority of these recruits are from wealthy families.

Most of the Pandoras we see are in their teens, and much of their rank and hierarchy works similar to that of a high school, with the lower class students serving the senior students. Despite being merely young schoolgirls, they are expected to fight when crisis occurs. There exist plenty of Pandoras across different schools, and many nameless rank and file Pandora students can often be seen fighting alongside the main heroes during battles with the Nova. These nameless Pandora however rarely last long, often serving a similar role to red-shirts, dying in gruesome ways to showcase the peril the heroes are in:

However, in the prequel series "Freezing: First Chronicle" which details the freshman year of one of the strongest Pandoras, Chiffron, many of her fellow classmates are the main villains of the arc and fulfill the role of easily vanquished zako. The story's climax involves a yearly Pandora training event called "The Carnival" where the girls of a school are pitted against one another in a massive battle royale, defeating each other for points to measure each others strength. Underhanded tricks are allowed, and killing a fellow Pandora is both allowed, albeit seen as a bit of a brutal display of strength. We are treated during the first chapter to a teaser of what will occure, as we can see Chriffron standing over the twisted and mangled bodies of a number of unfortunate Pandoras. The teachers merely remark in shock at Chiffron's raw strength, uncaring of the poor young girls whose lives had just been so casually snuffed out.

MR-13349-203995-21.jpg MR-13349-203995-24.jpg MR-13349-203995-31.jpg MR-13349-203995-40.jpg MR-13349-203995-44.jpg MR-13349-203995-45.jpg MR-13349-203996-6.jpg MR-13349-203996-27.jpg MR-13349-203996-28.jpg MR-13349-203996-30.jpg MR-13349-203996-34.jpg MR-13349-203996-40.jpg
Chapters 1-3 primarily focus on events prior to the Carnival, namely the bullying of Chiffron's friend, Ticy, at the hands of C-Class bully Felicia Mojave (The girl with the drill hair) and her two cute henchgirls. The three are your typical spoiled brats, daughters of powerful businessmen that view themselves as above "commoners". We see them try a number of dirty tricks in an attempt to dominate Ticy and Chiffron. But the worst they do is steal Ticy's beloved pet turtle, who ends up dying because of neglect.
Eventually, Chiffron confronts the wicked trio and they decide to settle things during the upcoming Carnival.

MR-13349-203997-13.jpg MR-13349-203997-14.jpg MR-13349-203997-20.jpg MR-13349-203997-21.jpg MR-13349-203997-22.jpg MR-13349-203997-23.jpg MR-13349-203997-27.jpg MR-13349-203997-28.jpg MR-13349-203997-29.jpg MR-13349-203997-30.jpg MR-13349-203997-31.jpg MR-13349-203997-32.jpg
Upset at the death of her pet turtle, Ticy challenges Felicia to a one on one fight during the Carnival. Felicia however, fights dirty, and calls upon dozens upon dozens of her Pandora cronies to gang up on the girl. Ticy is roundly beaten by the girls, and lest bloody and bruised. To add to the torment, Felicia even goes as far as to taunt Ticy with her dead pet turtle, forcing her to lick it in front of everyone. This act even makes Felicia's henchgirls feel uneasy. The torture continues until a VERY pissed off Chiffron arrives...

MR-13349-203997-33.jpg MR-13349-203997-36.jpg MR-13349-203997-37.jpg MR-13349-203997-38.jpg MR-13349-203997-39.jpg MR-13349-203997-40.jpg
...and her true personality comes through. Chiffron effortlessly tears through a number of unfortunate Pandoras in a whirlwind of severed limbs and screaming young bodies. Felicia, the once proud daughter of a CEO, immediately falls to the ground in terror, wetting herself in the process.

MR-13349-203998-3.jpg MR-13349-203998-4.jpg
More Pandoras are killed in the massacre. None of their training could have prepared them for this. What they thought would have been a chance to prove their worth, ended with them dying a painful death in the cold rain.

MR-13349-203998-5.jpg MR-13349-203998-6.jpg MR-13349-203998-7.jpg
Felicia's personal henchgirls are no match for her either. The short haired brunette makes a desperate attempt at an escape, but is easily tricked and slaughtered. The blonde loli fares no better, getting torn to shreds after a pitiful sneak attack. Felicia is at this point already dead or dying, her legs torn off. The last thing she would hear is the sound of her comrades screaming in pain and horror.

MR-13349-203998-8.jpg MR-13349-203998-9.jpg MR-13349-203998-10.jpg MR-13349-203998-11.jpg
Ticy is horrified at the change in her friend, completely shocked that someone as sweet as her could be capable of such carnage. The Carnival organizers do not intervene, deciding that seeing Chiffron's full abilities is more important than the lives of some small-fry Pandora girls.

MR-13349-203998-16 (1).jpg MR-13349-203998-17.jpg MR-13349-203998-18.jpg MR-13349-203998-19.jpg MR-13349-203998-20.jpg MR-13349-203998-21.jpg
36 Pandora girls lie scattered about the area, dead or dying. It's revealed that even the ones that tries to escape were viciously cut down as well. Two Pandora's from the B story happen upon the carnage and are horrified at the sight. They are even more surprised to see that Chiffron managed to take down an A-Class student, who despite having noting to do with Ticy and Felicia is brutally executed while screaming for her mother.

MR-13349-203998-27.jpg MR-13349-203998-30.jpg MR-13349-203998-34.jpg
Ticy eventually snaps Chiffron out of her berserk rage, and soon after the Carnival ends. Helicopters from the school arrive to transport the surviving girls back to the academy as two friends embrace, surrounded by dozens upon dozens of dead young women. Normally, videos from Carnivals are shown as training footage to other Pandoras, but because of the sheer carnage this year, it is instead hidden.

MR-13349-203998-36.jpg MR-13349-203998-37.jpg MR-13349-203998-39.jpg
Things quickly go back to normal. New recruits fill the empty desks and Chiffron and Ticy are finally respected as a result of the massacre at the Carnival. One thing I love is how after all the death and bloodshed, the only character by the end to receive any sort of mourning or proper burial is Ticy's pet turtle. All those girls from such proud families, with dreams of becoming powerful and respected warriors in the end mattered less than a simple turtle.

Full link to the manga here if you want the whole story and not my very sloppy synopsis: Freezing - First Chronicle ch.1

Damn, Chiffon is a one hell of a girl. She just simply tore down through those henchgirls like if they're made of paper!!

Freezing is one of those series where everything I love about it from a fetish standpoint are the exact same things that make me dislike it as an actual narrative. Even in the series proper, rather than than the prequel, when we're introduced to Satelizer L. Bridgette, if I remember correctly, she's remorselessly tearing through several other pandora, and we're kind of just supposed to accept that our female protagonist is a cold-blooded mass killer because our male protagonist brings out her softer side and other 'cute' mumbo jumbo. Then after seeing how ruthless she is, other more important pandora mess with her and the male protagonist, and while she beats and humiliates them, she spares them for some reason. Obviously the main reason from a writing standpoint is because they usually become friends or allies later, but from a character standpoint it makes little sense. Now along with unlikable, your protagonist makes no sense. It's sort of a mess honestly. Thing is, from a fetish standpoint all of these things are kind of hot though. Honestly, a reason I like Highschool DxD a lot is because I like it both from fetish and narrative standpoints. Freezing I just can't get hooked on nearly as easily since the characters, their actions, and their personalities annoy me, so I only really like it for fanservice and fights.

Disclaimer: this might be partially or even entirely wrong since I haven't seen/read Freeing since the anime first came out.

If I recall, a lot of the insane gore is handwaved because the male supporters are able to heal those wounds right up; so it's less killing people and more... giving them a really bad cut? Listen I read like a chapter of it, I donno.

Yeah and I didn't get the far and haven't seen it since 2011, so my views are probably skewed. All I remember for sure was finding the main characters to all be really annoying in my opinion.

Fanservice? The fanservice can't make up for all that violent gore. This is not something I can fap off to, unlike Agent Aika (or porno doujinshi images of Revy from Black Lagoon)

I think Freezing is really intending to appeal to the Guro lovers. Not like Black Lagoon, where people get shot dead cleanly. There is something very wrong, very weird about Freezing that I can't put my finger on. I think the characters don't 'come together right'.

In the Railgun series, kids get into some very serious fights that could easily turn fatal, and some people do get killed. But we understand that getting killed or maimed is not normal. It is an outcome to be avoided and even Mikoto's antagonists are rarely bloodthirsty.

In the Agame Kill! series, horrible deaths are very common. But the series makes it clear that it's an outcome of war, and not to be wished upon just anybody you meet. It is the villains that are cruel, and not every antagonist is a cruel villain either.

Freezing, we're supposed to love the murderous protagonists, identify with them, follow their story. Sorry, I can't. Hence I don't follow Freezing anymore.

My point exactly. Death itself isn't the issue. It's just how casually they treat the mass murders of their classmates for the sake of nothing more than petty squabbles, training, or other various things that most protagonists in other shows wouldn't kill people over. Since they're usually just nameless or unimportant characters who exist only to die and show how "cool" our protagonists are, it seems like we aren't supposed care, but the thing is they're all supposed to be on the same side and our "heroes" just seem them as expendable and somehow worthy of death.

There are good anime and bad anime. Good quality anime has believeable characters. Bad anime has characters that you don't identify with, don't understand and don't accept.

One reason why Najica is so less liked than Agent Aika, is because Najica is a cipher. There is practically no emotion, no character development of Najica. In contrast, Aika Sumeragi has human motivations, loves, temptations, mischief at times, anger at other times.

You want to see lots of death, so read or watch Berserk. Practically every character that is still alive, has a body count. But when you put Berserk next to Freezing, there is no way you can think Freezing is a better manga.

I honestly think Freezing is just trying to have its cake and eat it too. They want to show gore and severed limbs, but they don't want the protagonist to be a mass murderer, so they give the girls the ability to regenerate(yes I went and looked this up); so you don't feel too bad and the protagonist doesn't seem that much of a monster. It's still totally not a nice thing to do and it's brutal and it falls super flat and clearly doesn't work because basically everyone involved here thinks those ladies are goddamn dead!

Tsukachan Tsukachan Since you wanted to see some of BNS's female bosses here are some vids. Summonmint did a post and vid about the other two female bosses in BNS. (The seductress twins have the same moveset as the ones in his vid ) Also tagging @NNin since my video uploads are unlisted. Unfortunately some of my recordings have sound sync issues.

The Searstrike Sisters is a tag team boss. They are very coordinated at setting up combos against you; if you don't have an escape move ready it results in heavy damage or death. You fight them in an endgame content called Mushin's Tower where you climb up 20 floors fighting different bosses (you encounter them on 16 and thankfully you can start there)

There are three sisters Yungha, Minah, and Suma the combinations are different every time you enter the floor. Also during the fight they temporarily receive a detect stealth buff so Assassin players cannot cheese them using stealth.

Yungha uses melee, and if you try to isolate her sister from her she will rush back in with a long range kick and prevent you from doing so. She has the most HP out of the sisters and has several moves such as a counter or crumple that opens you up for a combo.

Minah (my favorite one especially with her outfit and fighting style) prefers to stay at range harassing the player with shirukens or poison gas bombs. If she is with Yungha she is the initiator of their combo by stunning the player with an electric wire attack, in melee she has a sexy kick that disrupts channeling and breaks guards, a knock down slash where she stomps you after, and a somersault kick that she uses as a reversal if getting pressured a lot. If she is with Suma she'll stay in melee range of the player while Suma handles range.

Suma the one with the least HP and the most damaging sister. Harasses you from range with her spells and sometimes she uses her grapple move that leaves you helpless (unless you escape it) and allows the other sister to pummel you.

Poharan is the end boss of Bloodshade Harbor which is a 6man lvl 45 dungeon. Mostly a range specialist, her attack patterns are pretty easy to learn but can be annoying if you get hit since the majority of them will stun you for a long time. She also has voiced lines, and is pretty cool and cute as well. In the beginning of the video I used the training room just for ease of recording (though in the real fight she has two moves that's missing in training) which is calling out her tigers to help her out at low HP and using a freeze bomb that leads to her combo.



She also has a sister that you can fight but I didn't haven't done the prerequisite so I can't access her.
