1997/Action/OVA Titles

#
Action: (Genre) Lots of shooting, explosions, and the like. Contains subcategories of more specific types such as "Gun-Action", "Martial Arts", and "Swordplay"; see also: "Fighting".

OVA: (Type) OVA = Original Video Animation. These are the direct-to-video anime titles done in Japan. Often, OVAs can start a franchise (Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki), start a TV series (Mahou Tsukai Tai!), be a sequel to a TV series (Love Hina Again), or be a stand-alone title (Aa! Megami-sama! OVA). Sometimes, the OAVs are named the same as the TV series and thus will sometimes have the term OVA listed after the title's name to separate it.

Dennou Sentai Voogie`s Angel
Watch Twenty years into the 2nd millennium, the earth is attacked and conquered by an off-world alien invader. The few surviving remnants of humanity have somehow managed to survive, having been driven into hiding in isolated colonies in the deep and dark oceans of their now lost world. The efforts of the desires and struggles of those survivors manifest themselves some one hundred years later in a strike force comprised of one human male and four cybernetically enhanced (and very voluptuous young) women warriors. While being few in numbers, this special strike team has been specially trained and equipped to carry humanities hopes of freedom to invaders on the surface. With the odds against them, any chance of victory rests in the team’s success of a prolonged stealthy guerrilla attack against an enemy who has never known defeat. And so, their battle begins....
