Beautifully drawn and animated, this is the story of Pet Shop Hunter Tita, who, after a chance encounter with the young Elise ends up taking on the Navy in her submarine, the Cha Cha Maru in order to save her newfound friend and the island she's docked on.. It's a simplistic synopsis, but I don't want to spoil the film. This is a raunchy adventure comedy which manages to avoid being offensive by playing the cute card perfectly. Shot in mostly soft focus, it's hard to believe how violent this actually gets in places. Every shot is a carefully considered portrait and never fails to capture the imagination. The detail is incredible, from the towns to the mecha, it's all incredibly distinctive. You'll end up watching this a few times to fully appreciate it, as you'll most likely find your eye wandering from the subtitles to the stunning landscapes. The feelgood factor of this anime really can't be praised enough - like all the best Bruckheimer films you'll be swept along by the wonderful direction which immerses you in the action and places you 100% behind the good guys. One thing I have been asked to point out is that it contains nudity, albeit in a totally non-sexual and thoroughly harmless situation. 
I have to confess, Plastic Little is a firm favourite of mine. It embodies a distinctive Japanese flavour, and contains all the action and style you could possibly ask for. It's available on DVD now (coupled with the far inferior Black Magic Mario M66) so get that version if you can. 9/10 - Fantastic anime that looks really, really good! Back to Menu |

If you enjoy big mech and space battles then why not have a laugh along
the way? Captain Yurika's hapless crew of misfits have the backing,
the technology, but sadly not the brains...Read the review |
