Reviews from Letterboxd

1. Mario – ★★★
   “The adventure wasn’t as fantastic as the title suggested, but it wasn’t bad either.”

2. viewer 🛸 – ★★★½
   “Just a bit of cute fluff with heaps of style. The animation in this thing is immediately gorgeous and frequently amazing.”

3. MeenOnFilms – ★★★
   “For an anime with the ‘a girl in bikini armor/battle panties’ trope from the 80s, its theme on coming of age is quite mature than I anticipated… Definitely a very flawed anime, but I absolutely love the visuals, design and characters of it.”

4. Ben – ★★★½
   “Surprisingly delightful, adorable art and animation, and fun to see the DNA that lead into future projects by the creative staff. Definitely worth a watch if you love 80s anime OVAs. Cute!”

5. margot – ★★½
   “the story’s kinda whatever but you know what you’re getting into if you’re trawling for 80s ovas. animation is neat, feels super moebius inspired!”
