Maris the Chojo (originally titled Supergal, but renamed due to potential trademark problems...) is, in contrast to the rest of the Rumic World series, a light comedy. Maris is a down-and-out, over-strengthed gal trying to work off her debts with an interplanetary security agency. Too bad she and her family keep forgetting their own strength! The show is full of in-jokes and movie spoofs. Don't tune out during the end credits - Maris does Jackie Chan's ending bloopers proud. My gripes:

Um, none. If this were serious, I'd gripe about the animation. But it's not, so I'm not - it's better than an SD film. My likes:

All the spoofs and in-jokes. As I watch more and more anime, I keep seeing more and more in-jokes in this movie. The slapstick isn't bad, either.
