Sailor Victory

Introduction

On the faraway planet of Totsu Asuka, violent crimes using armed robots are on the rise. With the police of Mikado City woefully unequipped to handle this situation, the only hope left to quash the chaos is Sailor Victory: a group of vigilantes with their own armed robots serving justice with speed and style. With public opinion of the police department at an all-time low, the force is willing to do anything to bolster its image against Sailor Victory—even if it has to resort to unscrupulous methods.

The early to mid 90s when this show released was when Sailor Moon's popularity was at its peak. It was also the time when Magic Knight Rayearth launched the all-female mangaka group CLAMP into the limelight. Sailor Victory is an anime OVA series that took elements from both major contemporaries to try to cash in on the popularity of both, but frankly achieving nothing more than a waste of about an hour of life to watch.
