The Bus's Transit of Anime Realities Review | Links | Webring | Images
This is one of the first animes I've ever heard of, but since I heard that the first movie is the only must buy I was looking just for this video. Unfortunately everyone else must want it because it took me a good six months to find it. This is one of the funniest and sereal titles I've ever seen. I would say very Tenchish if this wasn't made before Tenchi, so this may have inspired Tenchi. Its laugh out loud funny with its cute humor which makes you wonder why we now resort to toilet humor like South Park and Beavis and Butthead, of course I'm not willing to stop drinking from the bowl. If you're looking for a comedy anime unless a lot of unnecesary crying drives you nuts, this is a must own or atleast a rent which might be easier. |

Review | Links | Webring | Images A-ko has transferred to Gravitron High School along with her ditzy sidekick C-ko. Maybe A-ko isn't becoming a popular school icon, but C-ko sure is especially by the class's smartest and richest student B-ko. Well its actually gone beyond idolizing for B-ko since she wants to destroy A-ko so she'd be C-ko's best friend. Add in the fact that B-ko has held a grudge with A-ko since kindergarden she'll do anything to succeed. One problem with her plan, A-ko is extremely strong, so she needs to resort to robot warfare to stop her nemesis. While all this is going on, a spaceship is approaching Earth to take back a princess that left for this planet, 16 years ago at the same time the city that the three girls live in was destroyed, and these aliens seemed to have narrowed the princess down to a blond high schooler. Personally, I feel the plot is good enough without the aliens, but it does create a kick ass finale. The humor never stops even in the action sequences and it feature the greatest one-on-one fight until Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie's Chun Li v. Vega. The animation and soundtrack are great, and since I haven't found anyone who sells the dubbed version, nothing is loss in translation which does include the possible homosexual feelings of B-ko to C-ko (she thinks about the blond's cuteness while she is swimming in the nude if you don't believe me). The idea of this can slow the film down, but otherwise this is virtually perfect except for some gratuigious nudity i.e. B-ko's swimming scene. It doesn't exactly seem like I'd continue a movie series with this film, but it would make a great TV series, we could use a change of pace from all this Sailor Moon stuff. ©1986 Soeishinsha/Final-Nishijima English version © 1991 Central Park Media Corporation Review on this Page © 1998 Russ Stevens |
