Synopsis: April captains the Sol Bianca with her all-female crew of space pirates. They run across the Terra Force, a military group representing the Earthians who regard Earth as sacred ground and are gathering its artifacts scattered throughout the cosmos. The Earthian commander considers the pirate ship a priceless holy treasure and attempts to acquire it at all costs.
Sol Bianca crew members:
- April - captain and crack shot
- Feb - thief and enjoys the finer things in life (like shopping and drinking wine)
- Janni - brooding bodybuilder and heavy weapons expert
- Jun - computer and tech expert
- Meiyo - young stowaway
Cons: Plot is fast and loose, characters are not overly likable or particularly deep, Sol Bianca special attack is a giant image of a woman firing a bow which seems completely impractical
Mike Tells It Straight: Completely rewritten from the early '90s OVA this short series was a step forward for anime 3D graphics. Although the story itself was kinda vague it had lots of action and some interesting space/ground battles. It's utterly forgettable and overall just so-so as a recommendation.
