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 Ricksis 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 plot uses Apple as a damsel in distress who spends the whole film getting captured, groped, and sexually assaulted. Very different from the fighter she was in the actual series. JJ is basically the same, a total moron and pervert. Champ is also not much different, just a foil to JJ. The music is decent, but the OVA doesn’t offer much for fans of the series. You’re probably better off watching this in isolation, since the lack of follow up on the show’s ending was disappointing, and the characters seem to have regressed to be even more immature than in the show.
