| A-ko
and C-ko are best friends who have just been transferred
to a new school. It looks like your standard high school
girl story, until A-ko realizes they're running late,
grabs C-ko and rockets off to school at super
speed. Yes, A-ko has unexplained super
powers. She is super fast and super strong. |
|
In school, the girls encounter B-ko, the
spoiled daughter of some rich tycoon, who has set her
sights on friendship (presumably) with C-ko. She
determines the only way to win C-ko is by defeating A-ko
in battle. From there the show gets going.
Amongst all the action, a mysterious stranger watches
from the distance as a giant spacecraft approaches
Earth. What's the connection? Watch and find
out. |
|
This is definitely one goofy
anime. At times it seems like any excuse to ogle
cartoon girls, and at others it seems like a superhero
story. This should be one of the worst
anime ever made, but it is not. Somehow, this
stupid thing is both engrossing and very
entertaining! It isn't genius, but it is a lot of
fun and I recommend it to people who can just relax and
watch something for the fun of it (like FLCL
fans).
