And so we come to the last Project A-ko film, and honestly, it's sort of a mixed bag. The plot is as zany as ever: A-ko and B-ko are still bickering over Kei, and then suddenly Miss Ayumi gets pulled into the mix with a marriage of convenience. On top of that, a huge alien invasion force decides to arrive at the worst time possible, of course. It's ridiculous, it's disorganized, and it's so A-ko. The thing is that while all the ingredients for a grand finale are present, the actual story never quite feels that strong. It just kind of jumps from joke to joke without really making much of a conclusion, and that left me a little underwhelmed.
The girls are just doing what they've always done, the good and bad of it. A-ko is still the super-powered, lovesick doofus heroine, B-ko is still the…

“Project A-Ko 4” is the final entry in the main “Project A-Ko” series, and it’s arguably the weakest of them. It’s got plot threads that go nowhere, multiple fake-out endings and twists, and the girls continue to obsess over a guy who couldn’t care less.
Even compared to the other three, whose stories are unrealistic to say the least, the way the plot develops in this OVA is pretty out there. I got the impression that the writers came up with 3 or 4 different storylines and tried to brainstorm a way to tie them all together before the episode ended. I say “tried” because they weren’t successful; some of the plot threads just abruptly end — they attempted to turn them into gags but the punchlines fall flat. And the ending (the final one we get after the fake-outs) doesn’t make much sense.…

Listen, I can't give this lower than a three stars on account of it being Project A-ko, but this is a big step down from the first three because of its responsibility to "conclude" the series (there are two more after this but they appear to be spinoff-sequels), and its inability to actually do so.
Yeah, the thing is hilarious, and the animation got an upgrade for sure. As usual, a bunch of disparate plot threads converge into one wacky, nonsense-filled action extravaganza in the finale, but this time, the connecting points are very weak and at least one subplot ends up being a dead end with no resolution. Plus, the lessons learned from the previous movie ("Gay is the Way") are not only forgotten, but retroactively erased, as the male love interest from the last movie is brought back with…

This is an improvement over the previous OVA for two reasons.
1) There is at least some crazy superhuman kung-fu and cartoon violence.
2) Kei, introduced in the previous OVA, goes from being a cookie-cutter bishonen love interest into a strangely passive lust-mannequin who loves him some porn. This makes for actual comedy when all the girls fight over him like a piece of meat.
Beyond that, it needs less of C-Ko whining and more of Mari doing hundred crack girlslap.
