Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Despite the title, this is not a feature but the three-part OAV Battle Skipper (1995), which Takashi Watanabe directed before going on to Slayers. When the members of the Etiquette Club at St. Ignacio's School for Girls go down the tubes--literally--they acquire the skimpy outfits they wear to pilot the unfortunately named BSs or Battle Skippers--state-of-the-art military mecha. As "Extars," the Etiquette Club members fight to eliminate evil from the world, which means the bizarre schemes of Sayaka, the nasty, super-rich president of the rival Debutante Club, and her flunky, Todo. The series was created to promote a line of robot toys from Tomy, and viewers who are willing to accept high school girls' quarrels escalating into battles involving satellite weaponry may enjoy these silly adventures. But to describe them as "slight" is flattery. Unrated; suitable for ages 14 and up: Nudity, violence, violence against women. --Charles Solomon

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Camp silly fun.
You're not watching this for the plot, the mecha, or the character develompent. You're not even wathcing it for the cheesecake.

Well..... mabye the cheesecake.

What this is a a terribly funny, deliberatley camp little series.
Tomy (the people responsible for the losely connected series of plot holes known as Zoids chaotic century) put together a plot to promote some toys, which was then assembled into 90 minutes of silliness by people responsible for the slayers, bubblegum ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Can't wait for more
I was really happy when I got this dvd. I enjoyed it. It had likeable characters, action, and a good catchphrase. I can't wait until the next one comes out. Does anybody know when that is? (and yes there is a second one... if you search the net you will see that).



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Boring beyond all belief...
It's hard sometimes to describe what exactly it is that makes a show lousy. Is it mediocre dialog? Lackluster action sequences? Lifeless and uninteresting characters? So-so animation? Or how about a incredibly unoriginal clique-ridden (slapped together)plot that puts you to sleep? In other words, this anime is just plain bad, and there's nothing really to redeem it from that status. No compelling characters, no cool designs, no great music, nothing. Save your money and skip this one. There's better stuff out ... Read More
