Summary: NOOOOOOOO
Review: The first animation I've seen...The best animation I've seen. Absolutely great movie without being too serious or too joking. It has almost every thing an Animation fan would want. Robots, Space Ships, Planes, Super Powers and Fighting. Add a little humor and a dose of seriousness and you've got yourself a good time.

The movie is about A-Ko, your average high school gal...with super powers?? Yep!! And her best friend C-Ko who is so nice and ignorant it's down right annoying. And the super genius antagonist B-Ko who is trying to steal C-Ko's affection away from A-Ko. Everything goes screwy when Aliens come to Earth looking for their long lost Princess.

All and all this movie is awesome. If you haven't seen it than you're not a true animation fan! Have Fun with this one!

Summary: The English dub audio sucks!!
Review: This is one of the few animes that I still get a kick out of (mainly because of the fact that it is an anime that ridicules its own genre). After seeing my fair share of Japanese animation movies and series, I have noticed an unfortunate trend. That is, that anime is utterly plagued with stereotypes. This movie redeems itself in that it (quite intentionally) pokes fun at those rampantly recurring elements that make up Japanese animation.

What themes am I referring to? I'm talkin' bout' epic space battles with zillions of missles, about ultra hot women fighting and striking poses left and right, about the stupid sailor outfits, gigantic robots, jealousy among peers in a prestigious school, etc. Just about every sterotype is represented here, and played off as exactly that.

So check it out. There's something here for you no matter what. I'm willing to bet that if you love or hate most animes, you'll at least enjoy this somewhat. I also want to point out the fact that the overall QUALITY of the animation here is AMAZING even today. ... This is the one to watch. This movie has provided me with a surprizing amount of entertainment value over the years, and has imparted a strange attraction to redheads on me to boot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hold it...!!
Review: The following review refers to a previous DVD edition. Somehow this got attached to the new "collector" edition which, judging by at least one other review, looks to be pretty good. Go ahead and get this edition, and pay no mind to what follows:I won't go on about how great this movie is. I leave that to the other reviewers. What I will talk about is the dreadful job that has been done releasing this. The picture is grainy. They didn't clean up the scratches on the film. The sound quality on the Japanese track is okay, but is shockingly poor on the english dub. Trust me, even if you prefer dubs to subs, you won't like this. They also put the subtitles on the picture itself instead of below it like they used to. I advise you to wait for the Project A-ko collection. Rent it first, and see if they don't do a better job. It's a shame. This movie deserves better.
