Movie Reviews of Project A-Ko Collection (Movie/Uncivil Wars/Love & Robots) + CD Soundtrack

Movie Review: GREAT!
Summary: 5 Stars

This 3 dvd series does not relate to one another. In the first dvd (project A-ko movie), they introduce the 3 main characters, A-ko, B-ko, and C-ko. Don't ask why their names are the way they are, it's just like that. A-ko is an amazing young red-head who has superhuman strength, B-ko her rival is a normal girl but SUPER-SMART!, and C-ko... well, she just whines, nothing special about her. They all go to the same school in Graviton city (i hope i spelt that correctly) The weird thing is that A-ko and B-ko fight over who will be C-ko's bestfriend. I believe the creator's intentions were to have them all want to be C-ko's "bestfriend" but, it may seem that they want just MORE than friendship. Well, A-ko is currently C-ko's best friend and B-ko is doing everything in her power to destroy A-ko. During their conflicts there is this alien ship run by women (who look like men... really funny) who have been traveling the galaxy looking for their long lost princess. They find out that she lives on Earth. They try to convince her to join them and go back home, but she refuses (won't tell you who it is ^.~). They alien ship ends up getting into a fight with Earth and they end up busting up their ship and can't go no where. So they decide to live on Earth (graviton city).

The second dvd (uncivil wars), is totally different from the movie. A-ko and B-ko are friends and work together as some sort of alien hunters. C-ko is the daughter of some rich dude who is younger than A-ko and B-ko (in the movie they were all the same age). Well C-ko gets kidnapped for ransom and ends up escaping from her captors and run into A-ko and B-ko. There, A-ko and B-ko try to help her (just because they want a reward for rescuing her) but of course, her captors want that ransom so they go after C-ko. A-ko and B-ko find out that these kidnappers aren't just interested in money, they want to get to the center of the universe and create some sort of armageddon. They wanted the universe to be reborn... weirdos really. Well, A-ko and B-ko can't let that happen, so they go in and do something of course! you have to watch to see how it ends.

The third dvd (love & Robots) is more closely related to the movie. In this one, we meet B-ko's father who is interested in getting his hands on that alien ship that crashed in graviton city (happened in the movie). They had changed the alien ship into a amusement park/other entertainment, but during this whole time, the alien women have been fixing their ship so they can leave. But they won't leave alone, their going to take their princess with them. Also, B-ko and A-ko fall in love with the same guy but he is engaged to their teacher, so what do they do??? they go out and stop the wedding and piss off their teacher! the weird thing i don't understand is, the dude is in love with that whiny girl C-ko (she ends up rejecting him and breaking his heart). Well, because the alien women failed to bring back their princess, the queen herself came to visit graviton city and get her daughter. That is all i can say... i'm afraid i'll give away too much if i go any further.

I don't know if this helped at all, it might not have (sorry i'm not a good story-teller). Don't judge the storyline and think it is not worth the money, this is really a great story. It may sound boring, but it really isn't (you really have to watch it to understand). This is truly a unique and hilarious anime.

I'm very picky about the types of anime i watch, sometimes i judge by the art, Project A-ko doesn't have the best art (graphics), remember this was made in the 80's. The story makes up for that also the soundtrack! This anime has one of the best soundtracks i've ever heard for an oldie.

If you still confused, maybe i can give you an idea of the types of anime i like, if you like any of these, you will love project a-ko series.
