They certainly tried to mold this into a comedy - oh, they really tried! But this one-shot OVA falls short on so many levels. I have to believe that whatever studio made this was hoping this would be such a hit that it would turn into a regular series, the way they were name-plating every single character (even if they had just two lines) throughout the show. Given the time when this came out, it definitely fits within the wackier mold of, say, Dr. Slump or Ranma 1/2. But this is a far, far cry from Toriyama or Takahashi.Apparently they thought they could turn a story of students doing wrestling moves in powered armor suits into pure comedy gold. Only 1) Wrestling is pretty boring 2) Powered mecha suits are even more boring 3) The characters are bland vanilla 4) The story is uncompelling 5) The artwork and animation are about two notches below subpar.

In fact, I would hesitate to recommend watching this for "trainwreck comedy" purposes. I spent about as much time watching the timer on the video ticking down as I was watching the action on the screen.
