"Plastic Little" is a little 'plastic'
* <
>"Plastic Little" is one of those anime features which is confusing and hard to follow not because there is too much to keep track of, but precisely the opposite! <
> <
>I first became aware of this title as a result of clicking through the preview trailers on one of my other titles. And despite all of the obvious 'tittage' I knew would be encountered in this OAV, the action scenes were of such adrenaline-raising excitement that images of "Akira" danced endlessly in my head. <
> <
>My main concern was how could they possibly (or plausibly) squeeze so much into a less-than 60 minute one-volume story? Answer: When there is barely any story there to speak of. <
> <
>"Plastic Little's" biggest problem (apart from its indecipherable title and that distracting humungous "shower curtain" wardrobe accessory worn by our chief antagonist) is that it tries to cram way too much story into far too limited space. <
> <
>"Little" allows an insufficient time frame for any significant character development, that much is already a given ... but the rushed story also leaves a lot unexplained. <
> <
>"Plastic Little" needed AT LEAST an additional half-hour in order to address some if not most of these unanswered questions. <
> <
>The artwork and animation are impressive, to say the least, which help supply this story with a certain amount of credibility it so severely lacks otherwise -- and which pushes it just past the "Two-Star" rating I likely would have given it. <
> <
>My most vocal gripe, however, comes with regard to the vocal segments of the anime: The voice acting-- both Eigo AND Nihongo --are bad ... plain and simple! <
> <
>And that infamous "jiggle counter" feature on the DVD was a needless and senseless addition -- but I suppose when you can't produce anything on a level of brilliance such as "Mononoke Hime" or "Akira," you resort to frequent breast exposure. <
> <
>Overall, "Plastic Little" is an impressive visual experience, despite my general dissatisfaction with it. If visual experience has a certain appeal, you could easily do worse, but if you're looking for something with a bit more substance in the form of a coherent story with reasonably decent acting, you may want to try looking elsewhere. <

Good, but not great.
This movie came up short of my expectations. It fullfilled all of the fanservice requirements, including an unnecessary but acceptable (for me anyway) bath scene.
The story was very dry and simple but the stong idea of comradery left me with a reason to have watched the movie. There were also some great character designs and very good environmental concept. Worth 15.99 but don't expect a classic.
Just accept a good flick.

Lots of fan service...
Captain Tita is a PET HUNTER who, with her crew, ends up saving Elysse Mordish from Lord Guizel, a Darth Vader want to be, who wants the computer code she has. The code will allow him to use her father's work for evil. That's the plot, no surprises or too many plot twists.
On the other hand it has LOTS of nudity, explosions and techno-babble to please most male viewers. And the non-sexual relationship (or skinship as Patrick Drazen might call it) between Tita and Elysse could be enjoyed by female viewers.
It has ONLY 50 minutes so not a lot in character or plot development. Think of it as a short film or a extra-long episode. Extras include jiggle counter, sketches and storyboards.
