Aliens have targeted Japan, but they've done their homework. They know that [[Kawaiiko|the cuter the invaders are]], the more likely human public opinion will rise against the defenders if they "bully" the invaders. What's needed are even cuter defenders ... Thus are [[Rule of Three|Mao, Misora, and Sylvia]] - three cute eight-year-old girls - drafted to defend Japan from the cute aliens. |

On the surface, this is yet another entry in the [[magical girl]] genre so popular in [[anime]], and youngsters will happily take the show at that level. [[Parental Bonus|Look deeper, though,]] and you'll see a parody of the genre and a satirical look at military inter-service rivalry, along with [[Take That Me|a comment]] on creator [[Ken Akamatsu]]'s inability to come up with different character designs (in the [[crossover]] episode with ''[[Love Hina]]''). And the climax of the final episode is one of the finest [[Heartwarming Moments]] in all of anime |
