Acceptable Sci-Fi Fantasy set on a future Venus capable of sustaining human colonization after a freak interstellar accident, roiled in civil war, spoiled by seemingly unnecessary side stories to include some airhead bimbo from Earth reporting on the tragedy of death and conflict for kicks. Tee-hee!
Meanwhile participants in a complete Rip-Off of Rollerball imagine themselves fully capable of defeating an invading army. Even better, their military thinks so too! To the point that one of the leaders of said military decides to take time off from trying to defeat the invaders who have completely taken over for a cool bike race with one of the "Roller-Ballers" to prove who has the biggest dick.
The setting is pretty good. It's the future! It's Freaking Venus! There's steam-punky warmachines! But the blonde reporter is idiotic. That might be part of this style of animation. Every story, no matter how serious or intense has to have comic relief but she is just annoying. I don't believe she's a reporter. I think she's some spoiled rich brat, run away from Daddy to prove what a big girl she is! RollerBall Action Heroes seems a bit of a stretch too but at least they do some stunts, whereas Cub Reporter Braindead mostly makes goo-goo eyes at the camera.
As I said above, if you like this style, you'll like this. But that's it's redeeming feature. It's ancient and it looks it. It's completely cornball if you don't get it and the music is so meh. Backgrounds are well done, even the machines and gadgets look good if implausible, the characters appear drawn by a child. Not worth the time if you don't like everything "Anime" butsolid for the audience it's shooting for.
