This was a pretty good two OVA series. It had a lot of really well-executed points and a good number of flaws, and I'll try to list some of them without spoiling anything. It's strengths are in its rich artwork and worldbuilding, its presciently-executed sci-fi for its time, and the overall badassery. The artwork is pretty phenomenal throughout whenever it's not a character model. If it's a ship, or a robot, or a docking bay, it looks incredible. They go fairly well into their world without overexplaining anything considering the small span of time the series uses. After spending a lot of thepast few years watching new shows whose action sequences always seem a little rehashed, every perspective they used looked fresh and unused when dealing with space combat.

The Sci-fi concepts are very well-executed and today might seem pretty par for the course, but at the time were pretty advanced. The main one I saw consistently at play was the idea of people resigning and not continuing to try useless stuff when things were out of their control, something which is something which is realistic to any venture involving a large or widely-skilled crew doing any task, and the only other series I've seen the mentality showcased is Legend of the Galactic Heroes. But while it executes the treatment of the situations well, it doesn't overexplain itself and lets the sci-fi do its job of providing the impossible.

Finally, the badassery. The story doesn't really shy away from being a simple action story, but it avoids many cliches. Each character is depicted as strong in their own right, and they aren't ever stuck in cliche situations. Each has a developed personality and for a 90's anime about an all-female space pirate crew, it manages to avoid many of the "Men Writing Women" tropes (although when they do strike it hurts), and mainly ends up being a fairly decent representation of strong women in action roles. While a little OP-ish and plot armory, the characters all represent their own set of awesome skills and the action is fun and often awe-inspiring.

The Flaws. The mentionable problems of this anime are the character art, the shallowness of the plot, and the unexpected and pointless nudity.

The character art is a juxtaposition with the non-character art in that it's just bad. Granted this is about normal for early 90's anime, but the voices and mouth motions are extremely off-sync, and the scenes with any character motion which aren't full-action scenes are usually very poorly done. But generally speaking I don't think that's a very strong criticism at all; the non-character art and action animations are so mindblowing they more than make up for this.

The plot was also not nearly as deep as it needed to be. I suspect there's a lot more written to this world which could have been included if more material had been made, but with the space we had there could have been more done. Again though, this criticism isn't so important due to the fact that it's very good at filling out the role of a simple action series. Not everything HAS to have the kind of metaphorical depth some media carries with it, but this could have worked more with the space it had and didn't, which I think is somewhat of a negative mark.

Finally, the random and unnecessary nudity in what could otherwise be a very pro-feminist type series. The first time it happened it seemed just sort of forced and weird, especially juxtaposed with the general lack of ero fanservice in camera angles or plotline. The second time it was just gratuitous and had me really wondering what the hell they were thinking putting it there. Very strong mark against the series.

All in all, this is a really enjoyable two OVAs and is a good watch for fun, but nothing mind-blowing on an intellectual level. Watch it for badass space pirates rendered in that beautiful early-90's hand animation.
