Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shoujo, but not.
Review: The first 10 episodes (or 3 DVDs) of this anime tv series take place before the original Battle Athletes OAV (original animated video). These episodes set up the whole premise of going to the University Satellite, and the struggle to get there. Long story short it is very good. Worthy of watching, if for nothing else to see the sports drama. There is a slight lesbian sexual undertone, but that does not detract from the main story. One of the best things about this DVD is the dubbed version of the show. Sure they add profanity to a script that had little to no profanity before, but the diversity of the voices that is used is outstanding. The only draw-back that the DVD has is that the production company grouped all the episodes together taking out the Opening and Closing sequence/theme and the previews for the next episode. This series should be a must for any collector, and at the low price of only $16 a disc, what is stopping you from buying it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: OK, but has some major flaws
Review: This show is great, don't get me wrong, but there were some things that caught me. One was the whole lesbian undertones. Now I read something that says that there is no romance, boy were they wrong. While nothing happens some girls get hit on by other girls. Also the language is actually worse in the dub than the sub! Usually it is the other way around, but this time the girls are swearing in english!

The show is cute, but alot of things hold it back from being a child or pre-teen safe show. I mean there are some great things on friendship, but they can get over looked because some character starts yelling "S#!T". I would recommend it, but it really doesn't get it's target audience with the swearing and other content.
