  a good treat for Star Blazers fans, this made-for-TV movie takes up where the classic Star Blazers 2nd series leaves off.

• PATLABOR OVA P-6, "Kuroi Sanrensei" (subtitled in English)
  a rash of terrorist bombings against labor-related installations has the SV2 tired and on edge. So as a relief from the tension Goto's misfit second unit decides to sneak away to a public bath and relax. However, on the way there they find a plain-clothes policeman lying beaten up on the street. All he can tell them about his assailant is that he, "...had three moles under his right armpit." Since all the buildings along the road were closed and the road leads only to the bath house, Goto takes his men into the public bath after the terrorist. What follows is a laugh-packed episode as Goto's men try to find the terrorist without alarming the people in the bath house. (25 min) --WHY

• PLEASE SAVE MY EARTH, OVA #1-2 (subtitled in English)
  the story of seven people who came to reaize their previous lives... on the moon! Years ago, there was an interplanetary war, which completely destroyed both sides. Seven people of this alien race lived in a space station on the moon, admiring the newly-formed Earth. In present day Japan, the seven strangers (of which a few are friends in THIS life) come to realize the fate of their race in their new lives, and what they did wrong. The leader of them wants to make amends, and protect the Earth. VERY little action, and not a lot of bodacious babes in this. However, if you like a good Sci-Fi drama story, this is for you. (2 x 30 min) --PA
