Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
When perky pet-hunter Captain Tita of the spaceship Cha Cha Maru rescues mysterious blonde Elysse Mordish from some thuggish soldiers, she finds herself fighting a murderous plot to destroy a lavish resort colony. The extravagantly padded shoulders of Guizei's cape make the archvillain look like an ambulatory shower stall, and his defeat at the hands of Tita's unorthodox crew is a forgone conclusion. Although it barely lasts 50 minutes, this slight sci-fi feature overflows with what otaku call "fan service": gratuitous shots of the female characters in the nude. Tita and Elysse get acquainted in the ship's lavish bath, and the extras include a "bounce counter" that tallies the jiggles. Fans praise the film for preserving the style of designer Satoshi Urushibara, who specializes in cheesecake illustrations, and the airbrushed look of the girls' nubile flesh has been lovingly translated to cels. Suggested 15+: Violence, extensive nudity. --Charles Solomon

we need more plastic little.......2005-10-10
this anime is great,butit needs more episodes. if someone can ask the orig. animatores to put out a 12,13 or even better 26 episode show i'll be in line with cash in hand!!!!
I will be an impartial judge on this one........2005-09-22
It seems to me that people who reviewed this title either loved it or hated it. I myself think somewhere in the middle. The artwork in Plastic Little is very good, and in a way it is kind of funny. One fine example of this is when Captain Tita, and Elysse, are sitting together, after having seen a beautiful sunset, and just as they're talking about Elysse's code a spaceship comes out of nowhere and blasts out the window next to them. Yet another fine example is that the pilot, Nichol, kind of likes Tita, but he himself is very femminine, right down to his name.
Many people have said that there wasn't enough character development. I agree with them in some ways, but in others I completely disagree. I agree with them because there really wasn't too much character development. That's the thing though is that there doesn't need to be more than there already is. You get to know that Tita is kind of lazy, and that Nichol is kind of in love with Tita, and that's enough. Had this been made into a series though I am sure that there would have been much more development of the characters. As it is though the entire story is only 50 minutes long, so you can't very well fit too much in.
Many people again say that the plot wasn't good, or long enough, but I again agree and disagree. I agree because it truly wasn't that long, but again for the purposes of this type of anime, the plot doesn't need any lengthening, or shortening. I am sure again that had this been made into a full fledged series Elysse wouldn't be the only person Tita would run into, and I am also sure that there would be plenty of villans in the story as well.
Now for the most infamous bit; the nudity. I personally didn't see anything wrong with it. In the bath scene the two girls were just doing anything that they would normally do in a bath or shower. Of course this title was targeted at male viewers, but again it was just a scene with two girls in a bath, they weren't touching each other at all, except once when they were going down a water slide together. And again you have to realize that they were both women, and they didn't care what they looked like naked. Even when they had their tops off in the hospital ward, those times were only because of gunshot wounds, and the doctor was a woman.
All in all I liked Plastic Little, even though there were some bits and pieces in there that I didn't like. It was a little short, but there's nothing I can do about it now, so if you want to buy it go ahead!
What a great little anime.......2005-09-21
Tita is the young Captain of a Pet Shop Hunter ship, inheriting the position from her father who died on the ship. On her way to work one morning (late as usual) she runs into a little girl, on the run from some suspicious men. Tita vows to help her with her problems.
"Plastic Little" is a little 'plastic'.......2005-03-20
*
"Plastic Little" is one of those anime features which is confusing and hard to follow not because there is too much to keep track of, but precisely the opposite!
I first became aware of this title as a result of clicking through the preview trailers on one of my other titles. And despite all of the obvious 'tittage' I knew would be encountered in this OAV, the action scenes were of such adrenaline-raising excitement that images of "Akira" danced endlessly in my head.
My main concern was how could they possibly (or plausibly) squeeze so much into a less-than 60 minute one-volume story? Answer: When there is barely any story there to speak of.
"Plastic Little's" biggest problem (apart from its indecipherable title and that distracting humungous "shower curtain" wardrobe accessory worn by our chief antagonist) is that it tries to cram way too much story into far too limited space.
"Little" allows an insufficient time frame for any significant character development, that much is already a given ... but the rushed story also leaves a lot unexplained.
"Plastic Little" needed AT LEAST an additional half-hour in order to address some if not most of these unanswered questions.
The artwork and animation are impressive, to say the least, which help supply this story with a certain amount of credibility it so severely lacks otherwise -- and which pushes it just past the "Two-Star" rating I likely would have given it.
My most vocal gripe, however, comes with regard to the vocal segments of the anime: The voice acting-- both Eigo AND Nihongo --are bad ... plain and simple!
And that infamous "jiggle counter" feature on the DVD was a needless and senseless addition -- but I suppose when you can't produce anything on a level of brilliance such as "Mononoke Hime" or "Akira," you resort to frequent breast exposure.
Overall, "Plastic Little" is an impressive visual experience, despite my general dissatisfaction with it. If visual experience has a certain appeal, you could easily do worse, but if you're looking for something with a bit more substance in the form of a coherent story with reasonably decent acting, you may want to try looking elsewhere.

Good, but not great........2004-04-21
This movie came up short of my expectations. It fullfilled all of the fanservice requirements, including an unnecessary but acceptable (for me anyway) bath scene.
The story was very dry and simple but the stong idea of comradery left me with a reason to have watched the movie. There were also some great character designs and very good environmental concept. Worth 15.99 but don't expect a classic.
Just accept a good flick.
