(AIUI OVA = the anime equivalent of 'direct to video')
Found at the used book story today... Galaxy Fraulein Yuna. The DVD had two 'series' (not sure of the term for OVA's) on it. A 2 part episode and a 3 part episode. Based on a video game.
Interesting though I felt like I'd come into the story in the middle. And if Wiki is to be believed... I sort of did. The first 'series' happens after the first couple games in the game series and the other one happens later.
A couple things to notice... it's mildly humorous but in a different style to Jubei-chan. One character, Yuri, is always eating. Yuna, the heroine of the series, defeats her enemies by making friends with them. At least that is the story mythos. Doesn't happen much in the OVA. She can make friends with anyone!
(Let's not forget the lesbian subtext (or more like blatant references))
Yuna won a beauty contest... and got her "powers" and "toys" because of it. All of which happened in the video game so we don't really see it in the OVA. I wouldn't have known if I hadn't looked on Wiki.
It's Bishojo(??) Or so says Wiki. Meaning "cute girls" - a specific anime type. Like 'Sailor Moon' style characters.
Word to the wise -- if you aren't familiar with the video games (and if you weren't playing PC video games in the early 90's you probably aren't) - Read the Wiki entry before watching this - sure it has spoilers in it but the bits of back story as seen in the OVA won't make sense otherwise IMHO.
