📖 Overview

Studio Fantasia's infamous 1997 high-octane action OVA following salvage agent Aika Sumeragi in a submerged post-apocalyptic Earth, blending spy thriller combat with outrageous fanservice.

🎬 Storyline & Narrative

After a massive tectonic catastrophe submerges most of the world's coastlines beneath the oceans, Aika Sumeragi works as a salvage agent retrieving lost artifacts and technology from submerged Tokyo. Hired by a secret agency to recover the mysterious energy mineral Hagen Techel, Aika and her partner Rion find themselves pursued by Rudolf Hagen and his army of armored Delmo operatives seeking global domination.

👥 Characters & Dynamics

Aika is a highly competent martial artist, pilot, and salvage expert who wields the Hagen energy suit with devastating skill. Rudolf Hagen is a deliciously campy megalomaniac villain.

🎨 Animation & Visual Direction

Directed by Katsuhiko Nishijima, featuring exceptionally fluid hand-drawn martial arts combat, explosions, military hardware, and infamous low-angle panty shots.

🎵 Voice Acting & Soundtrack

Rei Sakuma brings cool professionalism and charm to Aika, accompanied by a brassy, groovy 90s spy soundtrack.

🟢 What We Liked: Top-tier 90s OVA action animation, energetic spy chases, and unapologetic B-movie fun.
