Summary: horrible movie, don't believe what anyone else says
Review: I picked up this film because it was cheap and it said on the back:the wildest schoolyard comedy since Project A ko. The film is not funny, the ideas are completely done, the characters have no depth, and the so called "comedy" consists of the characters flopping around in front of the school gate. I usually don't care about the dubbing, as long as the voice is for the proper gender, but in this movie it stank! The voices were monotone and the line: "I want you to stop these people and do whatever it takes! could have as well been : Look man servant I have found lint in my pocket, dispode of it properly. Wow! This movie is bad. It does not have action, the robots are just vending machines on wheels, and the "villian" is a rich girl that just minds her own bussines and is polite to everyone. One would think, if this person hates this movie so much why are they bothering with a review? WEll, I don't want you to fall into the trap of buying this movie because of the price or what it says on the back. It is badddddddddddddddd....... reviewers note: is there a no star rating?

Summary: Boring beyond all belief...
Review: It's hard sometimes to describe what exactly it is that makes a show lousy. Is it mediocre dialog? Lackluster action sequences? Lifeless and uninteresting characters? So-so animation? Or how about a incredibly unoriginal clique-ridden (slapped together)plot that puts you to sleep? In other words, this anime is just plain bad, and there's nothing really to redeem it from that status. No compelling characters, no cool designs, no great music, nothing. Save your money and skip this one. There's better stuff out there.

Summary: Silly Schoolgirl Superheros
Review: Sayaka, president of the Debutante Club at St. Ignatio high school, intends to rule the world. She is so cute and soooooo bad.

Unfortunately for her, Reika and Rie, the two officers [and initially, the only members] of the Etiquette club, have the power to thwart her plans -- the Battle Skipper combat vehicles developed by her grandfather.

This anime is a comedy, however, with heaps of action and destruction thrown in -- along with "magical girl" transformations, power suits, armored vehicles, mechas, and conspiracy.

As silly as Project A-ko and just as much fun as the superhero parody "Moldiver", it may not break new ground but is loads of fun, nonetheless.

Attractive character designs and a colorful animation style make this one definitely eye candy. There's even a hint of a Sohryuden dragon, in my mind anyway, in a cameo role. And Sayaka's toady, Todou [heh] is such an inept bungler.

Saori, one of the new students who joins the Etiquette Club, sports the weirdest hair style perhaps in all anime. LOL. The other characters have their own quirks, including the Artificial Intellegence of the Battle Skipper vehicles.

My only disappointment is that the series consists of only 3 videos.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's Sailor Moon meets Gundam!
Review: Set in the not-to-distant-future, Battle Skipper is a 3-episode OVA series(despite the fact its labeled as a "movie")that deals with the five members of the Etiquette Club in one of Japan's most prestigious schools are secretly a group of crimefighting mecha pilots called the Ex-Stars. Their main competition is the school's other club, the Debutante Club. Their leader is planning on taking over the world with her own army of mechas. So, the Ex-Stars try to foil their plans, while still keeping a decent grade average! This series was based on a Japanese toy line, but became its own unique and dynamic action comedy series. For fans of Project A-Ko or Sailor Moon, Battle Skipper is a hilarious anime with lots of great gags and a wonderful sense of fun!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Movie? I don't think so.
Review: This wasn't a movie... it was the 3 eps rolled into one tape. It kind of sucked that way too, seeing as I already owned the first two tapes. But otherwise, I love the series... it's just too bad they had to rip you off this way.
