A lesbian with a crush decides to build giant robots to win the love of the class ditz. It turns into a mega sci-fi action-adventure filled with parodies and homages to every other anime genre of the 80s, and it still holds up today as a real fine experience. It may not be madcap enough to hold a candle to modern works such as, say, Lego Movie or something, but it's a fine film indeed, and A-Ko, B-Ko, and C-Ko have all since become iconic character archetypes for gay and kinda-gay female leads in anime. What surprises me most is that the entire rest of theseries is actually able to contain the same energy and wackiness that the original has. It's extremely rare for comedies to do as well in its sequels, but Project A-Ko is quite special in that regard.
