Insanity, this is thy playground.

This film is highly creative, but leaves one wondering whether it's creativity or insanity that sparks the plot. Evidently based on a TV series, it appears one would have to watch the series first to even begin to understand what's going on here.

Take your everyday anime girliscious, allow her to float/walk/skim on ocean waters, load her down with miniaturized battleship weaponry and airplanes manned by teeny, tiny girls / robots / whatever they are... and you have a movie that makes no sense. Those who stick through to the end will be no more informed than those who stop halfway through.

I really tried to give this 4 stars, but there just wasn't enough good stuff in this to squeak out of the 3-star "goofy movie" slot. This might work as a "rainy Saturday popcorn" movie or "bring your friends over for beer and laughs". It's somewhat interesting to watch but total nonsense.

It is true: anime has been making the weirdest stuff on the planet for decades.
