Cat Planet Cuties: Complete Collection??????????

[T987654321]

really:

She's as frisky as she is curvy - and kitty wants to play! The flirty fun begins when nice guy Kio has a close encounter with a sexy, alien cat-girl named Eris. She's every nerd's fantasy come true, and she and her fellow intergalactic felines are setting up base in Kio's house. Unfortunately, Kio doesn't have a lot of time for heavy petting. Secret agencies and enemy dog-aliens are sniffing around, hoping to get their paws on his pussycat pal's tail! The guy's definitely got his hands full - but with Eris jumping in his lap to purr in his ear, it's likely Kio will land on his feet!

So, what did you think of it? (I read the back-cover blurb years ago...)

It's like Dirty Pair without the comedy.

I'll give a quick review. I'm not the original poster, but my copy arrived
early from RightStuf, so I've watched it already.

Lately, I've been watching a lot of Fan Service HaremŽ anime: Heaven's Lost
Property, Rosario + Vampire, etc. I watched the initial episode of Cat
Planet Cuties on Funimation.com and figured this was along the same lines,
so I purchased the collection.

This starts out as a typical Fan Service HaremŽ - nerdy guy meets hot alien
cat-girl while meddling childhood girl friend gets angry, teacher is
surprised, quiet girl who loves him is disappointed, etc. - but then turns
that on its head. Meddling childhood girl friend turns out to be working
for the CIA, teacher is part of a first contact with aliens underground
organization, the shy girl is an dangerous assasin, etc. Meanwhile, the cat
girl's crewmates show up, and procede to get all kinds of naked.

So - this show basically plays like Tenchi Muyo meets Agent Aika in Noir's
backyard - with catgirls. (Najica Blitz Tactics might be another good
reference point.) I found it very enjoyable - although it has just about
every harem anime stereotype in the book, it changes them up enough to keep
it interesting for me.

One technical note - according to the back of the box, the blu-ray is HD and
not upsampled SD, like Heaven's Lost Property. The quality on the discs is
good - nothing overtly wrong, although I didn't look specifically for
technical issues - and my pre-order came with a small art-book. The discs
contain all 12 episodes plus the bonus OVA.

In summary - if you're a fan of Fan Service HaremŽ anime, you'll probably
enjoy this. Not super original, but there's enough twisting of the genre to
keep it fresh. I definitely wouldn't mind watching future episodes of this.

NOTE: This show was previously released under the name "Bombshells from the
sky". The actual title of the show is "Asobi ni iku yo!" - which translates
to "Let's Go Play!" according to Wikipedia. I'm not sure how Asobi ni iku
yo! turns into either Bombshells From The Sky or Cat Planet Cuties - but
there you go.

Cheers,
Paul

Terrible renaming of Asobi ni Iku yo!. Accoording to Funimation, the
Japanese companies insisted on the rename. No one at Funi has answered why
nobody dared to tell said Japanese companies that the name should be
relegated to the litterbox--and I'm far from the only one to feel that way.

Yes, it has to be added to BU. Sadly, it'll have to be under C.
