Post 26, and I really hope nothing goes wrong this time, powercuts are not fun, this time it's Ultimate Girls.
Ultimate Girls is the perfect homage to the ever popular Ultraman series, it begins as UFO man accidently crushes to death the main three girls Silk, Vivenne and Tsubomi during a routine monster battle. Feeling guilty for his mistake UFO man revives the three girls with his powers but in doing so makes him powerless, so the girls take over his duties turning into giant Ultraman style heroes but having to spread his power across three people means that once the transformation is triggered all the girls clothes start disintegrating during battle, it doesn't help that the monsters while paying homage to many Ultraman monsters look like phallic sex toys, yes it is one of those anime but it falls short of being a hentai and opts for a softcore ecchi show.
The story is really bad, there's absolutely no reason for the monsters to be phallic nor is there any reason for the clothing to randomly disappear, it's amazing that this anime was picked up for a license in America.
At least the episodes are short and don't outstay their welcome and a plot point about embarrassment adding more power to the girls is a surprisingly clever work around for essentially pubically stripping the female characters, but the most shocking thing I like about this series is the amazing opening theme. "White Heat" by Yozuca is one of my all time favorite opening themes and it comes from an anime that is terrible, seems to be one of those things that defies logic; the animation as well is just as good for a low budget late night anime.
No dub, would be funnier and better received if it was as it suits a gag dub very well.
Final Verdict: It's terrible, mainly because none of it is really necessary, you can have a stupidly fun anime without all the sexual innuendo but as it is all in this anime it really comes off as awkward and forced especially when it's supposed to be a spoof homage to Ultraman.
