Silly and Fun
The Sol Bianca is a interdimensional starship controlled by several female pirates. The women (and girl) are a little too contrived (they each have totally distinct personalities that separate them from each other--nothing in common), but the action is there and the anime is fairly good.

The Sol Bianca and her crew have been raiding the pirate ships of Emporor Batros (typical space-anime name). In one of the raids, they find a small boy who has to get to one of the planets he rules to find his mother. He promises them that the emporor holds a treasure that has the secret of the human race as well as gold, jewels and cash. They jump at the situation.

The emporor wants the Sol Bianca because it has a technology to go into subspace without a need for a hypergate, so the battle begins.

If you are looking for the adult version of POWERPUFF Girls, try this one out. However, I do not think it is worth the money to buy it. Rating: C

Highly enjoyable!
I enjoyed this movie quite a bit, although there are some fairly large plot holes. Why does Rim's presence on board keep the ship from jumping into hyperspace? Where did the ship get that cool supercannon it used in the end? And how did the pirates fly safely back to the shuttle with half the Tres airforce on their tail? These problems notwithstanding, it was fun light watching with some really sharp animation. Among my favorite effects are the Sol Bianca submerging and reemerging from hyperspace, and Feb perched on the orbital ring, firing at the surface with a sniper rifle (well, she said it was designed for long range. . . .)

The music ranges from unremarkable to cheesy, mostly showing up only in the fight scenes. You'll probably never even notice that it has music, and skipping it would detract little from the movie.

One of my favorite parts of the movie is the characterization of the pirates. They are definitely self interested pirates, far more interested in plundering space lines than saving the world. While not particularly ruthless (they don't kill too many people in their raids,) they are most definitely pirates, and only heroic in comparison to truly evil people. For example they are more than happy to threaten Rim with spacing out the airlock if he doesn't volunteer more information about his presence on their ship. The quarrel and argue in a very convincing (if occasionally overly cute) way, they manage to fall somewhere between Errol Flynn's "Robin Hood" and Long John Silver.

I'm curious about the name of their ship: "Sol Bianca." The planet names are Spanish (Tres: Three, Uno: One,) so the ship name could also be Spanish, but I can't find a meaning for "Bianca" in any language, other than it being a girl's name. If you spell it "Sol Blanco," it translates as "White Sun," which is not only appropriate for a white ship, but a cool name in any case.
