The 801st Tactical Training Squadron, a stunt-show unit with female pilots, is the dumping ground of the Japanese Self-Defense Force, although that status doesn't figure into the stories the way it does in Patlabor. The rivalry between ace pilots Miyuki Haneda and Arisa Mitake intensifies with the arrival of maintenance officer Sgt. Takuya Isurugi. A good-natured boob in the tradition of Keitaro in Love Hina, Isurugi quickly becomes the focus of the jealous battles between Miyuki and Arisa. The plots of these seven episodes (the complete series) are slight at best, with a maximum of "fan service" bath scenes, cleavage shots, etc. In episode 4, which originally aired as a holiday special, the unit visits a remote, icy mountain resort that may be haunted. What appears to be the ghost of a World War II kamikaze pilot panics the girls while they're in the bath, but the supposedly comic ending simply doesn't play. Episode 5 involves unflattering American stereotypes, as pilots from the USAF Thunderbirds meet the Airbats. Based on a manga by Toshimitsu Shimizu, Airbats grew out of the popularity of Top Gun in Japan. As the opening titles proclaim, the show was made with the cooperation of the Japanese Self-Defense Force, although why the national military assisted a series that depicts its pilots as childish dolts who deliberately damage each other's planes in midair is anyone's guess. Rated 15 Up: Nudity, risqué humor, toilet humor, alcohol use, profanity, violence. --Charles Solomon
Product Description
Meet the fighter pilots of the 801 Tactical Training Squadron, codenamed Airbats. With their sleek curves and lightning fast moves, they give new meaning to the term "the friendly skies" - and I'm not talking about their jets! The Airbats are the hottest, wildest team of female flyers you'll ever meet, and when they climb into the cockpit, the clear blue skies of Japan aren't big enough to contain all the aerial action these ladies get into! Whether it's ghostbusting the spirit of a dead kamikaze Zero pilot, facing off against a team of world famous American aeronautical acrobats, or winning a year's supply of noodles in a ramen-noodle-eating contest, you'd better believe the Airbats have the "right stuff" to get the job done! This two-disc set collects all seven episodes of the popular anime comedy in the English-language, as well as the Japanese language version with English subtitles. DVD extras include production sketches, clean credit animation, the 801 T.T.S. Airbats trailer, Japanese cast "tidbits," and ADV previews.
