No one else who reviewed this had seen the actual series, and most of them wondered if that would help appreciate this more. I just watched it after seeing the whole series, and it really doesn’t. This is an alternate universe which uses some character designs and names from the show. You might think from the first scene that the white nuts retired from fighting aliens after the war and became a band. These are just a band who never had the experiences in the original show. This is obvious from the way they get their weapons and the nature of the villains. Baron Ricks is in this but he isn’t an alien Baron. He is just an ex boyfriend of Apple who likes to fight. The other trio of villains also have no connection to the Nohza and are just some generic Fist of the North Star bandits now. The…

I haven't seen the show this is based off of, so I didn't know anything about the characters. That may have actually made watching this funnier, though.
It starts out almost Bubblegum Crisis-like, with a woman in a band singing a rock song on a stage to a packed audience in a club. Things quickly go awry though as she is kidnapped, and her band-mates comically fail to save her. I'm not sure if we are supposed to know who the kidnappers are, either, but their backgrounds and origins aren't explained here. Anyway, they kidnapped the main female character, Apple, in order to marry her off to another bad guy (I guess their brother?). It seems like villains in this one are all part of a family, with "Mama" as the boss. After Apple's locked away in some desolate dungeon-like tower, it's up to h…

The summary for the show doesn't go into the fact Apple is getting kidnapped because they want her to become the bride of the eldest son in the group, yet I think if I saw that in the summary I wouldn't have been as thrilled going into this as I was - I was honestly looking forward to a series where the heroes get on with their lives despite not having ever seen the original series, only to find they never really do get on with their lives, but instead are definitely left at a place of picking up the pieces, but not moving on. That's not a very nice send off for a beloved series characters, but I'd argue the characters in AD police, even if they did get a tragic ending still ended up with a chance to move on. I mean, they discussed moving on. While the Animation is beautiful, the sound as…

So I gave this one a low rating. This is one hardly anyone knows exists and perhaps I missed a lot since I never saw the series this is supposed to be based on, however it is hilarious. It's not hilarious because it's a great comedy but rather because it's so bad that it's good. It's a cheese fest that my friends and had a blast putting our own live improvised version of rifftrax. They try to do too much in forty five minutes and it shows. This is precisely why it's funny. It shows that cheese fests were not unique to the U.S. during the eighties. If nothing else viewers should be able to derive some form of amusement from how laughably awful this is.
