Until I was sent a review copy, I’d never been tempted by Airbats.
This, it turns out, is a shame because it’s great! Airbats revolves
around the activities of the 801st Tactical Training Squadron, which
seems to comprise of three girls and a guy, plus a bunch of wacky
senior staff who train them.
This is a pretty typical anime comedy romance, with the single male
surrounded by hordes of cute girls intent on capturing him for their
own. However, it also has the fun, romantic storylines as well, and
that’s where its strength lies. It isn't just a romantic
anime, it's a good example of romantic anime.
It’s wistful, light and genuine fun to watch. It isn’t laugh out loud
hilarious, (what anime is?) but it does have some chuckles in there.
The characters are all likeable too, which is quite unusual.
As usual the ADV dub is of a good quality, with all the performances
being energetic and convincing. The animation is pretty good too,
although lip synching slips in places, it doesn’t detract. Overall
this is a quality package, and I’ll be down the shops as soon as time
allows to buy the set!
7/10 - Cute and frothy anime - everything it promises!

If you enjoy watching girls messing around at work, you should love
the Burn Up W DVD's from ADV - a bunch of misfits who are armed, dangerous
and, erm, naked? Check it out here:
