Plot: This fan-favorite anime TV series, which debuted in Japan in 1996, is a bizarre combination of low-brow double-entendre comedy and truly adventurous science fiction. It unfolds on a distant planet who...( read more  )se human population, sustained by cloning, is entirely male. All the "women" here are lifelike but entirely submissive robots, known as marionettes. The early episodes are fairly conventional, a mix of splashy design elements from the shojo school of anime for girls, and a plot premise lifted from naughty fantasies like Video Girl Ai, which are aimed at horny adolescent males. Here, too, we have a nebbishy teenaged hero, Otaru, fending off the advances of several nubile nonhuman females, a trio of affectionate automatons named Lime, Cherry, and Bloodberry. But this fast-paced series gets richer as it goes along, and slapstick elements are sidelined. It emerges that each of the leading nations on this planet, Terra 2, are theme-park retro-re-creations of dimly remembered Old Earth originals. Our Asian heroes live in Japoness, a pastiche of samurai-era Tokyo, while their Euro-Trash archenemies have molded nearby Garlant into a Soviet-style dictatorship. The nine episodes in this gorgeous double-disc package launch a story arc about the rising tensions between Japoness and Garlant, and pivot upon the discovery that Otaru's trio of marionettes may be a promising new breed: they have been outfitted with "maiden circuits" that seem to generate quasi-human emotions. Females with free will would be a scary novelty on Terra 2 and could shake the place to its foundations. Stay tuned! --David Chute
