"A.D. 2079, A mysterious mechanical cellar cluster begins “Human Being Sweep Operation”. After two years’ war, the human beings are outnumbered by the cluster, and they finally decide to use the ultimate weapon. Sacrificing their continent, they manage to eliminate the enemy. However it causes most of the continents to split, Antarctica disappears and 50% of the world slips under the sea.

Three years later, the enemy cluster that is supposed to have been destroyed is found by the Midway. To identify them, an aircraft carrier, The Koryu, leaves a Japanese port secretly. The Koryu carries three fighters designed by scientists of the Japanese Navy. They are Aviation Exoskelton Sky Divers, Reijin, Fujin, and Raijin. The pilots of these fighters are three young girls called Sky Girls, Sakurano Otoha, Sonomiya Kren, and Ichijo Eika.

It’s time to fly into the air carrying the future and dreams of the human beings."

I took a download and I have to say, this OVA was okay. Nothing to run home and tell mom about but it was tolerable. I just wonder if there is going to be another one?

[Kraco]

Aye. It was entertaining enough. I have a feeling the makers of this ova, knowing how cliched it was, kind of flipped the coin and took most out of the oh-so-traditional plot and elements by
emphasizing them instead of even trying to make it look original. And that was a succesful approach.

In all honesty I have to say the high loli content and the active attention it got made this ova pretty hilarious. Which, I suppose, once again, was exactly what the creators had intended.

I wouldn't mind watching future episodes.

Sky Girls and the Worms of Tomorrow...

[Kraco]

As 0.1% of you might know, the success of the OVA (never underestimate the power of loli fans), encouraged a full 26 episodes TV series. Seeing how the ova seemed to be such a "huge" success here at GW, I decided not to create a new thread. The story should be the same, still, and the cast looks about the same (including Ayako Kawasumi!), anyway. I don't think it's necessary to watch the OVA to watch this series.

AniDB, ANN, Official.

So, get ready for a heavy loli dose:

Episode 1 h264 - Ayako
Episode 1 xvid - Ayako

Edit: After having watched the first episode, I can say for sure it's not necessary to watch the ova for the story. In fact it might be better not to. The series starts from an earlier time point, and proceeds to introduce the central characters before they became pilots. Also, it looks like this tv series doesn't intend to be a piece of loli fanservice but a serious series. Better that way, of course.

[RyougaZell]

Just watched the first episode and thought it was good.
Definitely worth watching and following... and concerning the OVA... I think I'll download it and watch after the series ends or something.

Sky Girls 2 - XviD version
Sky Girls 2 - h264 version

[David75]

Watched the OVA and the 2 first eps.

I think I'll watch it through the end just out of curiosity... and because I do not like unfinished things (recently I finished KOR and Maison Ikkoku I had started in my teen years...)

However, as of yet, I do not see anything of interrest to me (to me I wrote )
Mecha isn't my type
Preteen girls as main characters aren't my type (eventhough they say 15 and more...)

Eventhough I do not like mecha, I have to say these exoskeletons are quite ugly... I know
why bother trying to fing nice mechas

Well I'll keep watching to finish this, and hopefully I'll get a good story arc... after all I downloaded this for the sake of openmindedness...

I actually think that the exoskeletens are quite well designed, since it goes for a more function over fashion approach, and thats the way it should be when it comes to weapons.

I like preteen girls, and I enjoy mecha, so Ill keep watching this.

Tsundere characters, if well made, are always a plus, and I have a feeling Ichijou (?) is going to turn out good.

[Ryllharu]

Aren't they all high school age? Karen was clearly a genius girl skipped into college, Otoha has been mentioned to be high school age, and Eika is the same. They're drawn loli, but not as bad as say...Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight! where they were drawn like elementary students.

[shinta|hikari]

They are highschool students, as mentioned in the earlier posts, but they LOOK like preteen girls (LOLI) and that is all that matters doesnt it?

I also liked Manabi for the same (though not the only) reason.

[Kraco]

Episode 3 h264 - Ayako
Episode 3 xvid - Ayako

The second and third episodes strengthen my feeling they do try to make this a real story in addition to a loli presentation. Well, naturally that has to happen because only a real hardcore lolicon would watch 26 episodes just for the characters... This hasn't been bad so far, if not anything spectacular either. Although I can't help but wonder how long it'll take before we get to the point where the ova was. Right now it looks like the training and intro episodes could still take some time.

[shinta|hikari]

Im a hardcore loli fan, but I still wouldnt watch something without a plot, or a show with just a bunch of loli characters standing and talking... wait, I actually do watch something like that (lucky star!!!).

[Kraco]

For all regular and hardcore loli fans:

Episode 4 - Ayako
Episode 4 xvid - Ayako

[David75]

For all regular and hardcore loli fans:

Episode 4 - Ayako
Episode 4 xvid - Ayako

I'm not a hardcore loli fan, but since I'm about to finish Elfen Lied and I don't even like violence... anyway, seems like it is a very fast dl... so many loli fans out there?

[Ryllharu]

Otoha doesn't disappoint in her stereotype. Gets paid ---> Buys only food and plays games. She's dumb, but really hard not to like.
Eika displays her cute side, discretely very much enjoying shopping, which she takes as seriously as she does piloting.

Karen on the other hand annoys me. Her androphobia aside, her brother complex is really kind of creepy. Other characters in other series have all had brother/sister complexes, but Karen's just comes off...stalkerish.

There wasn't too much else to this episode, but the series has been enjoyable so far.

[Kraco]

Aye. This series actually surprised me. I thought it would be but a loli fest, but in fact, while cliched, it's actually very solid. This episode was no different. You knew from the moment Karen dropped the pencil how the rest of the ep was going to turn out, but when things are done well, I'm not really even bothered by such predictability.

I've been also wondering about that Karen-brother situation. It's taken over the top but I think it just tries to underline the fact Karen really does have a psychological problem of not being able to be in the presence of boys. And I reckon she's really sorry she can't meet even her own brother, and tries to fix that. In the mean time, though, she tries to make up for her inability to stand meeting her by the multiple letters. In a sense you could say that if your own sister/brother couldn't stand you company it is kind of insulting. From that source rises the creepiness of how it's depicted. However, I think it's much more believable than all those incestuous relationships around.

[Kraco]

Also for non-loli fans (you don't have to believe that):

Episode 5 h264 - Ayako
Episode 5 xvid - Ayako

Edit: Ho... It looks like the Worms are finally back. Or at least I got that kind of impression from the West Europe news the bishounen officer was reading at the end of the episode. The preview didn't suggest they will be anywhere near Japan for immediately, but even their spreading shadow should remove any plans for peaceful missions and hard steel will start to talk.

[Kraco]

Even the Worms like loli. Enough to kill for it.

Episode 6 h264 - Ayako
Episode 6 ye olde xvid - Ayako

[Ryllharu]

Well, since I'm pretty shallow, I found the Nanae's bra side story to be pretty cute and funny. Otoha ran around with that thing everywhere, like an 8 year old. Karen's higher education geometry analysis of Nanae's document-shielded body was probably the funniest part.

First glimpse of Eliza, the catgirl pilot in the OP. Eastern Europe, genius young pilot. I sense Asuka syndrome.

[Kraco]

It was a West Europe base, wasn't it (but so was Asuka from Germany just like this one, though)? But other than that, I don't think there were any such girls in the ova. So, what's her purpose? She's in the AniDB pic with the other girls, and also in the ANN actor list among them, so I suppose she is a main character. But will she get a Japanese mecha just like the others? Intriguing.
