“A-Ko the Versus” is a 2-episode sci-fi comedy OVA featuring the 3 main characters of the “Project A-Ko” franchise in an alternate universe setting. The different setting allows for fresh insight on the dynamics between the three characters, particularly A-Ko and B-Ko (C-Ko remains annoying, but her role is less prominent here than in the previous installments of the series). The first episode is a fun, action-packed romp, while the second episode tries to make things a little too serious for comfort, and the tonal whiplash is significant. However, overall, the OVA is watchable.
Instead of being mortal enemies constantly at each other’s throats like in the movie and previous OVAs, in “The Versus,” A-Ko and B-Ko are partners who make a living as bounty hunters on an alien planet. C-Ko is t…

Looks alright, but isn't really all that memorable in retrospect.
Some okay technical work in terms of animation and sound design, but the plot is an abysmal mess of Sci-fi tropes and downright weirdness at times. I have the old VHS tape in my collection somewhere and don't really care if I ever see it again to be completely honest. It was a mess with forgettable characters and strange plot setups that came out of nowhere sometimes, I found it to be a pretty mediocre title even back at the time of it's release, and it hasn't aged well either.

The A-Ko series is a pretty well known one. It all started with a single A.P.P.P film and spread into a whole slew of spin-offs. Including this OVA, which was produced by Studio Fantasia. That's right, the studio that worked on Fire Emblem. This is a franchise I've known about for a long time, but have never watched anything related to. So, let's take a look at A-Ko the Versus and see if I've been missing anything.
Story:
We open with a young heiress, C-ko, celebrating her 10th birthday. Unfortunately for her, the festivities don't really get started as she's kidnapped by a pair of ruffians. Because an incredibly wealthy man can't afford enough security to stop two people. Meanwhile, A-ko & B-ko are running around a desert planet hunting giant sand turtles. Unbeknownst to them, the badd…

Wait...What!?
All of the sudden, Schoolgirl rivals A-Ko (the superbutch spawn of two superheroes) and B-Ko (the spoiled, obscenely wealthy mad scientist) who spent a movie and three OVA's absolutely hating each other and wrecking their school....are suddenly best friends....and space-turtle hunting bounty hunters on a desert planet.
Anyhow, C-Ko is less annoying now because she spends most of these OVA's either asleep or possessed by a demonic witch with delusions of goddesshood.
