Project A-ko

Star Oriental - Who's Your Favourite Star?

Image Indexes: Index 1

Project A-ko is an series of anime movies chronicling the adventures of A-ko, a super-strong girl, and C-ko, A-ko's cute little girlfriend who cooks awfully. B-ko, a very sexy and ingenious schoolmate, is intensely jealous of their friendship, and tries to destroy A-ko in order to win C-ko's love. A bit of a lesbian undertone, but very interesting. Anyway, I've only seen the first movie, which was funny and cute. The main characters are artfully introduced while aliens attempt to kidnap C-ko, who is actually an alien princess. A-ko and B-ko momentarily stop their constant feuding and reluctantly join forces to rescue C-ko. The first half of the movie was excellent, but the fight against the alien captors was kind of dull. Overall, the first movie was still worth watching because it contains inspired music, good art, and interesting characters.

Anime Pocket Guide Description: Take a school classroom. Add one poetry spouting teacher. Add a brilliant student (B-Ko). Add two new students, one who can destroy whole armies with her strength and another who can destroy whole armies with her crying and cooking. Now, create a rivalry between A-Ko and B-ko over getting to be C-Ko's friend. Add an invading alien force and you've got a parody taking aim at many anime cliches. Overall, it was very funny, though some parts were better than others. "A-Ko the Versus" placed A-Ko and B-Ko as bounty hunters trying to rescue C-Ko. US Release by: US Manga Corps (subtitled) Anime Pocket Guide Rating: RECOMMENDED
