Amusing action-comedy fluff just right for a rainy afternoon, but apathetic Mica and Mew's world-saving high jinks is nothing to build an anime library around.

All pretty basic: giant monster threatens Tokyo, Hyper Dolls put off fighting it, but eventually step in to defeat it. A lack of background info obscures answers to questions raised throughout

Mica and Mew, as well as the supporting human cast, are all pretty one-note. However, Dr. Zaiclit is avuncularly creepy.

Animation quality hovers around the adequate range. This OAV one-shot focuses more on high school angst, skimpy costumes and ill-timed jokes than it does on aesthetics.

The translation is serviceable, with a few cultural alterations.

The Japanese portraying Mica and Mew are better cast, their voices more varied and interesting than the dryer American voices.

Mild violence, brief nudity.

Dr. Zaiclit and his big wurm? Nudie transformation sequences? Beavis and Butthead, where are you?

Perhaps a unifying trait among senshi is that they have no nipples.

Love it? Hate it? Buy it.
