Burn Up! is a 1991 Japanese anime original video animation. It concerns a special group of police officers called Team Warrior who are often given special assignments in the police department.

In North America, AnimEigo first released Burn Up! on VHS in 1992 in Japanese with English subtitles. An English dub of the OVA was produced in 1994 by ADV Films, and was released on VHS that year. In 2005, ADV Films released the OVA on DVD. The DVD also contains the English dub. In 2009, Sentai Filmworks re-released the OVA on DVD.

Police Officers Maki, Reimi and Yuka are stuck on traffic patrol when they would prefer to be involved in more "exciting" police duties. All that changes when they join in a police chase after a kidnapped girl. As a result, they become involved in the case of a white slavery organization run by the politically connected businessman Samuel McCoy.

The three decide to scope out a night club to see if they can catch the kidnappers in the act. While consoling a girl who said she was stood up by her boyfriend, Yuka is kidnapped by McCoy’s men. Maki and Reimi try to rescue her, but are beaten and poisoned by Gonnack. After they receive an antidote at the hospital, Maki and Kenji plead with the chief for permission to prosecute McCoy and save Yuka, but are denied. Frustrated by the inaction, Maki and Reimi take what they need from the police armory, including a police assault carrier, and raid McCoy's compound whilst creating mayhem in their wake.

After rescuing Yuka and all the other enslaved girls, Maki and Reimi go after McCoy. Their mission is thwarted when Sayaka (who was the girl at the club), pretends to be another slave, but then shoots and incapacitates them both. McCoy reveals himself and he and his men torture Maki and Reimi, but they are saved when Kenji, Banba and the rest of the police force come to rescue them.

There are three series that are remake/reboot to Burn Up. Two of the series, Burn Up W (4 episodes) and sequel Burn Up Excess (13 episodes) form a mostly united story arc. Many of the characters in Burn Up also appear in Excess, but have different names. The third series, Burn Up Scramble!, is unrelated to the other 2 series, except that it is a complete re-envisioning of the series.

Maki is sitting in a park next to her motorcycle, in her racing suit. As she sits there, feeding pigeons, we cut away to a frantic highway chase with a young girl screaming in the backseat of the getaway car. Police dispatches a signal to all possible backup units, including two Junior SWAT team officers: Yuka and Remi. Preempting the speeding ticket they were about to issue, they join the pursuit and radio Maki for assistance. She suits up and enters the fray on her motorcycle, taking shortcuts over guardrails and weaving through police roadblocks. When the perpetrators open fire on her, cracking her racing helmet, she promptly becomes angered and draws a shotgun, kills one of the kidnappers, shoots the getaway car's engine, and the chase grinds to a halt.

At a police debriefing, which Kenji and his partner Banba are attending, it is revealed that the kidnappers could have connections to Samuel McCoy. Amidst rumors that his profitable chain of nightclubs and restaurants is a front for a lucrative prostitution and sex slave ring, it has been impossible until now to find any hard evidence. Kenji and Banba are ordered to interrogate the prisoner and get "something that'll stick on McCoy's Teflon ass".
