main cast
To save the Earth from alien invaders and their giant monsters, Dr. Kishida does what any other red-blooded mad scientist would do: he builds a giant robot - Ariel - the ultimate feminine fighting robot!
Unfortunately, his grand-daughters refuse to pilot it! Apparently, they've got more important things to do than becoming teenage super-heroes. Besides, how are you supposed to study for your college entrance exams while getting beaten-up in battle?
Fortunately for Dr. Kishida, things aren't too well for the invaders, either. According to their reports, the Earth was the perfect target: lush, peaceful, and relatively defenseless. Theoretically, the planet should've surrendered long ago. Now, the war is at a standstill, the dreaded Accounting Department is warning about the serious cost overruns, and the head of the home office has arrived from Galactic Headquarters to personally oversee operations. Has Headquarters decided to unleash, The Audit - or do they have something even more evil in mind?
The fate of the world rests upon two people: Kishida Aya, one of the doctor's granddaughters, who may have to give up prep school to pilot the mighty (and lovely) Ariel; and a mysterious alien named Saber Starblast, who may have the power to defeat the invaders once and for all...

Note: This OVA initially received a cinematic release together with the second volume of Kujakuou, before being released in two parts on VHS. The title of the film was simply Ariel.

A no brainer giant mecha vs monster space war that have some animation shining moment, at time a cool ost and first class seyuu cast. The story is simplistic but it's an entertaining watch with some over the top moments as only 80's could offer. Recommened!

Cast
main character
female, blue hairThe character has blue hair., brown eyesThe character has brown eyes., JapaneseA character originating from the island nation of Japan., shoulder-length hairShoulder-length hair is hair at shoulder length, within a few centimetres margin. This hair length is longer than what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length. Typical male hair at the back of the head which reaches the shoulders does not count as shoulder-length hair; the individual hair strands are very short (0-4 cm), and therefore count as short hair.
