Executed excellently, presented well and throws everyone straight into the Sky Girls universe—this show for now is on par with Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai for me. I adored everything in the OAV [...]

Story:
In 2071, the cyborg clusters WORM (which confuses my over whether they’re cyborgs or aliens) appeared and attacked mankind, who was forced to use WMD’s to destroy them. However, this victory came at a great cost. The environment is wrecked, with Antartica gone and half the world has sunk into the sea. But the [...]

Thoughts: It seems like this is before the OVA and it answered a lot of questions I had in mind. It’s a lot less fan service than I had expected, since the OVA contained so much I almost had an overload. A pretty good first episode, introduction to our sky girls and a brief moment [...]

Wow, this one could have turned out a lot worse. The blatant fanservice that plagued the OVA is almost entirely gone now, and some actual time has been dedicated to fleshing out the characters properly. To be honest, I didn’t see this coming, and expected the same moe-bait that was the OVA. Still, I [...]

You know, this show is really similar to Idolmaster… the earth gets ravaged by some uncontrollable force, men are inexplicably incapacitated to fight, and teenage girls have to shoulder the burden. I’ll leave the details to your viewing pleasure – suffice to say, we’re getting a lot of teen girls wearing plug suits flying these mecha type things that show off their flat chests to the fullest extent.

Thursdays are now a sweet bouquet of paranormal action, mecha action, and homicidal women, but I'll skip Higurashi as it's a regular sequel.

Thoughts: Lolis in mecha suits, moe? Perhpas, but how was the OVA itself? Well, the story itself isn’t the most original but I think there is a lot of room to expand, which is why I am glad there will be a TV series in a couple of weeks. The first few minutes of the [...]

Zero no Tsukaima
Was at a dance yesterday~ /life alertLots of potential for some l337 mecha shoujo action (and UHHH... loli fanservice?)... not enough for one little OVA episode.Story Overview:The background story is as generic and clichéd as it gets. In the year 2079, cyborgs called the WORM appeared and began wiping out the humans on Earth. 2 years later, one-third of the human popluation had been killed off by the WORM. This resulted with the survivors forming the United Human Army. Then, in 2083, they resorted to using weapons of mass destruction for they were unable to make the situation any better... finally, they had destroyed all the WORM on the planet. However, most of the land that existed on Earth broke apart and the South Pole melted over, causing most of the Earth to be covered in water. In addition, the war had decreased 90% of the human males on the planet (in the military)... 3 years have passed, and the WORM that were thought to be destroyed forever have returned...Being an OVA with only one episode with no continuation killed any little depth and devolopement of the "plot" it would've got, other than that horribly un-detailed backstory. I have to say that itt had a good enough premise that would make me want to see a sequel, or a TV series continuation. Though, some people say that this OVA was made up of nothing but pure loli-fanservice - I disagree with that belief. Or at least, I disagree that most of it was actually intentional. :/ The characters were just victims of how they were drawn, just as any other decent anime that seems to cater to the pedophiles. I mean, the main female mecha pilots seem to be old enough to be in this huge military-like organization. The animation was great (being an OVA series, I expect the animation to be somewhere close to quality work) and I found the character designs and artwork to be fairly nice. The mecha action was actually far from horrible, it actually got my blood pumping. The mecha could use an improvement on the designs though, as in covering more of the pilots' bodies instead of showing off the questionable parts for the audience's viewing pleasure. >< I can only take so much. :xAs far as characters go, I'd say I liked Eika the most out of the three main mecha pilots. It's either the serious personality or the long, black hair that won me over. ;/ Tachibana didn't really appeal to me as a character overall... perverted mechanic. Ew. Stay away from Otoha's [slightly flat] chest! >_< Speaking of Otoha, when I looked at her I got an image of Henrietta from Gunslinger Girls in my head... eh, Sky Girls, Gunslinger Girls... Go figure.The BGM really didn't impress me or stood out very much to me, aside from the opening and ending which I loved.Overall, if I were to give a grade to this OVA series, I would give it a... B+ for the good animation, really. For the "plot", I would have to give it an F. Good premise or not, the "plot" wasn't anything intriguing and left out some unanswered questions, such as:1) What is Otoha's "mysterious" attribute and seemingly psychic connection with (ew...) Tachibana?2) I don't think the actual mission of the Koryu was ever touched upon and how important it was.3) Why the WORM want to eliminate the humans and where did they actually come from...? Hello, we just coincidentally came to your planet... we're gonna kill you! ^_^ Since there isn't really an explanation for this, I'll just mark it up there in the old cliché chart: Came. Out. Of. Nowhere.4) What delicious dinner did Hayami come up with? lolBoring backstory, throws some good premise, and then doesn't even continue. NOT GOOD. It's like those anime blogs that make 4 or 5 of their first posts - looks good, makes you think that it's going to obtain good readership since it's a good read. But the blog gets abandoned a day after. Sad.Read more >>

A strange patch we have this time. All of these shows were especially made for the fans of one certain niche. These shows are mostly for the yaoi-fans, lolicons and people who like to gouche their eyes out with a spoon.

Both J.C. Staff and KONAMI had a hand in this. Beside the OP is done by RIYU KOUSAKA <3, love to all the bemani fans.
I watched this purely on the fact that there maybe was some decent mecha action. And as one of the 2 "mecha musume" animes(The other being Strike Witches). It did not [...]

I am a big fan of the mecha musume series. I find lolis with mecha are extremely moelicious, and I was happy to find out back then that was going to 2 OAVs that would be released and it would deal with the whole lolis + mechas fetish.
So Sky Girls OAV was finally subbed by [...]
