Summary: An anime classic.
Review: This was one of the first feature-length anime films I ever saw and I was hooked since. The movie has everything from schoolgirls to giant robots to crossdressers! The movie is not very serious and was not meant to be. It is quite funny but more funny if you have a background in anime, for this film pokes fun at just about every other one I can think of. There are constant references to animes like Hokuto no ken (fist of the north star), Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Gall Force, Captain Harlock, and others. Even if this is the first anime film you see, you will definitely enjoy it.

Summary: X-Treme Old School High School!
Review: Look on just about any anime fan's list of must-own classics, and this one'll show up on almost every one of them. "Project A-ko" is one of the most well-done anime feature films of all time. While the story is about two high-school girls who end up fighting over the "affections" of another young girl (you think that's weird, wait'll you see the rest of this movie) while their city is in the midst of an alien invasion, this film was made mostly as a spoof of just about every other anime of its time in Japan. Parodies of and references to characters from everything from Captain Harlock to Macross to Space Battleship Yamato (Starblazers) to Fist of the North Star show up in nearly every single scene, and it not only makes for wide grins and pointing fingers from otaku everywhere, but it also fits into this crazy flick like a glove. Some of the rip-offs are pretty blatant (like the alien mothership; when you see it I'll give you three guesses to what it looks like), but hey, that's the point! Aside from all that, this is one of those anime that simply has it all; cute girls in sailor suits, giant robots, aliens, almost-nonstop smash-mouth fighting action, and laughs aplenty. The animation for its time is unparalleled; silky-smooth with theater-quality fluidity. The soundtrack, a rocking set of themes that keeps right up with the action, was put together entirely by Americans (the first of its kind!) and produced by the legendary Ritchie Zito (producer for Cheap Trick). The dubbing's even great, even if it deviates from the original dialogue a bit. Folks, if you haven't seen this film yet for some reason, you don't know what you're missing. It's a wonderful ride.

Summary: waste of video tape
Review: I was looking forward to watching project A-Ko; honest I was. I had heard from a few people that this movie was a classic in the genere and one that would make me giggle. I put the movie in and I had to turn it off after fifteen minutes. High pitched screaming, little to no plot and poor quality animation made this movie painful to view.

Summary: A-OK anime parody/satire
Review: Project A-ko is about the friendship-relationships of three school girls, all of whom have super/extra human attributes which create unique experiences. But that's not what it's really about. A wacky story line is a framework to hilariously ridicule "otaku" and other anime stereotypes. Stereotypes parodied include:
* pre-occupation with school girls (in sailor suits)
* robots (with school girls inside)
* repetitive fight scenes (to the extreme)
* one central character being annoying (to the extreme)
* transgendered sub-theme (this is even funnier after Ranma 1/2!)
* Hidden plot elements that make more sense on subsequent viewing
* Characters stolen from other 1980's anime series
* period music (theme song almost identical to movie Flashdance)
* Inappropriate "fan service": dressing, bathing, and upskirt shots, ...
This is not for everyone. As a parody, it's not a good introduction to anime. Also has incidental nudity and lesbian allusions that some could find offensive. A "must buy" for those who enjoy satire and collect best of genre anime. Similar humor to that in _Mars_Attacks_ and _GalaxyQuest_. Definitions:
otaku --- someone anime obsessed to the point of perversion
fan service --- special inserts catering to otaku cravings which increase video sales.

Summary: it ain't no serious anime, that's for sure
Review: i just watched this movie, and it IS pretty funny, but the anyone that says it has a good plot is being a bit uncritical. pretty much, it's just a little comedy with cute, immature, lesbians. the VERY brief nudity (note the PG-13 rating, weird for an anime) isn't enough to get it for alone, so if you aren't going to appreciate the comedy and the action, don't get it. for a hentai/serious anime, look more in the direction of nightmare campus. overall, this is a worthy rental or even buy if you're rich!

Summary: Cool Anime
Review: This is cool anime. Get it. My favorite seen is when B-ko and A-ko fight. Warning this show is a little weird. Yet also amusing!

Summary: A Classic
Review: Project A-ko was truly the first bit of anime I was ever exposed to (that doesn't count the shows I watched as a kid which I now have realized are actually anime). And it hooked me onto anime forever. Project A-ko is not one to be taken seriously, for it really isn't a serious film. It makes light of many anime cliches (mecha machines, very feminine guys, and unexplained super powers). But there's a lot more there than just humor! My favorite part is probably when A-ko and C-ko go into town for the day. And the music is suberb! I am in desperate search of the soundtrack! The sequels weren't nearly as good, both in quality and plot-wise. They focus more on humor (and definately will make you laugh) - But the original remains a classic for all time!
