Back when pic related first came out, I never paid it any mind before because for whatever reason I got the impression that it was just a generic hentai (probably because of the company "Kitty Media.")

Watched this review:

…now I'm going to give it a shot. Seems surprisingly good. I don't always agree with Sage (I found his NGE and Aeon Flux reviews kinda halfass, and his Violence Jack review was an obnoxious cop out.) but he can be a great resource for finding out about hidden gems. Sort've like a video version of Buried Treasure: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/buried-treasure/archive

Also Obscure Old School Anime/Hidden Gems/Buried Treasure General.

Got it when it came out due to it being shockingly dirt cheap at the time (like 5 or 6 dollars for a new anime dvd, which was unheard of.)

Short, but surprisingly entertaining and enjoyable (as well as cheescakeerrific), though they use the same background music on loop throughout the entire thing, which can get grating after awhile.

Now here's an unsung gem that needs more exposure!

An abosolutely hilarious parody of idol singer culture and politics, great music, and the main character is disgustingly cute even when she's kicking truckloads of ass! Plus there's a particular segment that is comeday gold that I don't want to spoil, since part of the humour was the fact that it completely blindsided me!

Also, I think it arguably has one of the best opening sequences of all time:

I remember a reviewer sometime, somewhere (maybe it was THEM Anime Reviews, I forget) tore M.A.P.S. a new asshole because its science wasn't hard and sound. Which is bullshit, since it has much more in common, in terms of vibe, with, say, Star Wars than Star Trek.

Overall a fun little sci-fi romp from back when ADV had that cool clam-shell casing for their VHSs.

Loved this in particular because it reminds me of the anime equivalent of the rollicking madcap motely crew adventure comedies that were a dime a dozen in the 80s, but have sadly faded since then (i.e. Ghostbusters, The Goonies, Adventures in Babysitting, Big Trouble in Little China, etc.)

i have read somewhere that this anime is actually a remake of an older ova. The guy who wrote the article say that the original was better, i went kininaru, but sadly there are no subs for the original one

A thousand times THIS!

In fact, watch it right now:

In terms of concept and visual elements, it's like Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz and Star Wars had a love child.

The soundtrack in particular stands out, and can even be quite haunting:

Also, be sure to track down the dub if you want some "so bad it's good" comedy gold (Yohko actually uses the term "bobby soxer" to describe herself)
