Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
It's difficult to tell if this super-heroine adventure is meant as spoof or a real story: the tone is silly and the fragmentary story line makes little sense. Although they appear to be ordinary (if curvaceous) high school students, Mew and Mica are really alien androids, assigned to protect Earth from the monsters summoned by the mysterious Dr. Zaiclit and his henchmen. In "Earth Is in a Bind," he sics a gigantic grasshopper and a jellyfish-octopus on Tokyo, a combination that can be defeated only by the Hyperdolls. In "Peace on Earth," a monster earthworm threatens the planet until Mew and Mica reduce it to so much live bait.
The Hyperdolls aren't particularly endearing characters. The only person who knows their true identity is their classmate Akai, a computer nerd who attempts to keep them focused on their assignment. They respond by making his life miserable--until a hologram of their boss appears (atop a pizza in "Bind") and orders them back to work.
The story starts and stops, with no real beginning, middle, or end, and will appeal only to uncritical anime fans: Hyperdolls makes Tenchi Muyo! sound like Kant's "The Critique of Pure Reason."
Rated for ages 13 and up for nudity, violence, and occasional profanity. --Charles Solomon
Description:
Mew and Mica, two spacey, alien androids, pose as cute high school students to conceal their secret identities as the most undependable dynamic duo ever sent to defend the Earth! From super-sized jelly-fish to Ver Worm (a giant, supposedly intelligent worm), there is no villain too evil, too dastardly or too stupid for the Hyper Dolls to defeat! If they ever stop goofing off and eating on the job, the world would be in safe hands... Maybe.

For every Spriggan, there is Anime like "Hyper Doll", its the law I guess. This cheap, corny series is not the worst Anime that I have seen, but it comes pretty close. Like Sailor Moon, Hyper Dolls has a similar plot line, bad jokes and poor animation quality. The "plot": Two girls get all powered up and beat up monsters threatening the city, *yawn*. Its like "Legend of the Overfiend" without the sex and graphic violence. ZZzzzzzz..
Yes, it is better than Pokemon, but there are some really ... Read More

Another of Pioneer's budget DVDs, this one is worth every penny. Somewhat a parody of Dirty Pair, it's the story of Mew and Mica, two delinquent alien agents sent to protect earth, and the unfortunate boy who knows their secret. The writing is just great; Mew and Mica are the pinnacle of apathy and a great comic duo. The dubbing is exceptional and the subtitle good. Only two episodes of such quality material is a shame, but is the complete series as far as I know. My only gripe is the missing music videos ... Read More

Take a couple of girls who happen to be aliens from outer space and can fly and transform into super-heroines and you get the general plot.
The Hyper Dolls have attitude and get into almost more spats with each other dinging each other than with the bad guys who they are there to defend Earth from. Indeed, they can get so wound up in a face-off that they have to be interrupted to do their job; their boss appears usually in the device of some variety of pizza to rein them in.
Their "victim" ... Read More

These episodes are obviously not to be taken as a serious plot anime, but rather for their comic value. However, the comedy is pretty bland and there isn't enough of it anyway. This series is like Sailor Moon, only with a brief glimpse of breasts during the costume change phase of the heroines.
The low price is deceptive since the DVD contains only the two episodes, choice of English/Japanese language and English subtitles on/off, and nothing else. NOTHING. The animation itself is fairly mediocre. They ... Read More
