“Project A-Ko 2,” the first OVA sequel to the movie of the same title, picks up shortly after where the movie left off, fleshing out the anime’s world and characters in a satisfying way.
The setup for the plot is a bit unrealistic, which is par for the course for this franchise. The spaceship that crash-landed precariously atop a tower (that was actually another crashed spaceship) in the movie has been turned into a massive entertainment complex in the span of just three weeks. The aliens are trying to raise money to repair the spaceship so they can return to their home planet (preferably with C-Ko), while B-Ko’s father, who’s just as loony if not loonier than B-Ko herself, wants to confiscate the spaceship to acquire its technological secrets. Meanwhile, A-Ko just wants to enjoy summer v…

While this OVA is a sequel to a movie, I honestly feel the viewer doesn't need to watch the movie to understand the OVA, yet this might end up being the best route given the issues which cropped up in the movie and how the shift in producers between the movie and OVA resulted in actual improvements.
I love the fact the sequel relies a lot less on references to other series and relies a whole lot more on being it's own thing. The wacky humor is more in line with the wacky humor we see in other shows of the crackfic genre which are successful in that while the audiences willing suspense of disbelief is pushed in an unexpected manner, they still end up being believable.
All three girls instead of the main protagonist A-Ko end up getting fleshed out, as do a few side characters such as the t…

This is just about the limit of wackiness you can achieve in a story without making it eye-rolling, and thankfully it keeps the balance well enough to guarantee that it's a hilarious time.
Because this one works as a twist-on-the-formula rehash type sequel that wastes zero time trying to explain anything from the previous movie, it's able to venture into much more hilarious territory much more quickly... so it might be better. Maybe. It's not as openly gay or anything, but it's not like the main characters AREN'T trapped in the world's lamest love triangle, it's just less stated this time.
B-Ko's dad is the MVP of this movie, bulge and all, but the best part of the whole thing is the buildup of spies hiding in the spaceship that all have the exact same outfit and all holding newspapers…

Since the movie review gets low ratings ( sadly), its my turn, and i PEFfER THIS over the new kind of girls with guns anime stuff thats popping out everywere these days! And while project a-ko generally had a moderate reputation of being 'over the top' with guns and stuff, back then it was new, funny and enjoyable, same with some of the space fights here with a-ko. The animation is not too special, more kiddofriendly style but it fitted in with the music,for the charachters they have a nice, funny intro as well throughout the ova's serie's and the sometime's ecchi moments as a laughter. you might as well think those ladies as '3 stooges' as ladies in anime!
