Synopsis:
Five
Female high school friends reunite as the secret crime-fighting
organization known as Sailor Victory. Commanding 3 giant Ninja
Robots, Gion, Momoyama and Sagano, they fight evil in the virtual-future
city of Mikado. When a disgraced and disgruntled city official
turns to the dark side, he joins forces with the evil and sinister
Margarita. While he merely wants to humiliate the Sailor Victory
crew, Margarita’s objective is the complete and total annihilation
of Mikado City. Only the sweet and innocent Sailor Victory can
protect the city from this wicked power. This beautiful and comedic
Sci-Fi Anime will entertain every fan with its fantastic character
designs and dramatic non-stop action sequences.

DVD REVIEW:
I
first saw "SAILOR VICTORY" back in the mid-90's. What
many people don't know is that this DVD is actually OAV 3-4 of
the GRADUATION SERIES. I guess you can say "SAILOR VICTORY"
is one of those alternate universes of the GRADUATION series.
Similar to what they have done with the "Tenchi Muyou"
and "El Hazard" series.
It's
also an anime series based on a dating/graduating school simulation
video game (a "Graduation" game was released in America
via PC).
Anyway,
it kind of sucks that people will be watching this and not knowing
it's a "GRADUATION" anime. People might think this was
some major series trying to copy Sailor Moon and other mecha anime
(which it probably does) but this OAV is just a special alternate
setting for the girls of "GRADUATION".
Hopefully
Media Blasters or some company releases the previous two OAV's
(ep. 1-2). When I first saw the anime series, the OAV 3-4 (SAILOR
VICTORY) was just a bonus OAV for the "Graduation" anime
series fans because of how the series ended in OAV series 2 and
how the girls graduated and went on their separate ways.
Anyway,
as for special features...none. The original Japanese series had
commercials for the OAV series and video games and soundtrack
I believe...but not on this DVD.
Anyway,
on it's own...and people not knowing the series behind these two
OAV's, you will find those who will compare it to "Sailor
Moon" and say it's rather inferior or some who may like it
due to it's different style and inclusion of mecha.
THE SERIES: C+
THE DVD EXTRAS: D
THE DVD OVERALL: C
