Review and thoughts
This OAV series is just basically a sci-fi comedy kind of anime. And this anime is rather childish and a little bit unrealistic. Hmmph, I guess if you are over 18 years old, you might not enjoy this type of anime. However, it is worthwhile to watch. The original illustrator of this anime, Takada Yuzo is the same illustrator who did 3X3 eyes and Blue Seed. Artwork, plot, character and music and everything else are good enough to keep you watching this 3 hours(six episodes) anime. Overall, I'll consider this as an okay OAV series. By the way, the main character is really cool and I like the opening theme.
