From their site: Welcome to the United Systems Sports Academy [USSA], where the elite from around the solar system come to hone their athletic prowess with the technologically enhanced training facilities and the renowned coaching staff.
For many, the grueling, full contact competition against humanities strongest and most ambitious athletes is the beginning of a dream to become the next Tomoe Midou, the first Battle Athletes Competition winner, and most famous of all sports champions. However, for Akari Kanzaki, Tomoe Midou's daughter, the trails of the academy and it's scheming students provide a path of self discovery and a chance to step out from her mothers shadow.


[OVA, 1997-98, 6 episodes, 23 min; see also: Daiundokai TV]

There is only one reason I watched this. Evil Ifurita from El Hazard! This is another one of those Striving to be the Best type of Animes. It's nice, and damn is the Ifurita clone nasty!

I liked it but Stellvia and Angelic Layer are better.

I love the Engrish mispellings..hehe Athletess.

Have to admit I was skeptical when afriend got me started on Anime with this series. I was fortunate that he owned them all though, becauseonce I got started I couldn't stop watching! At one point I was actually yelling at Akari to get to it and throw her heart into her race! I liked the conflict between good (Akari, Ichan, etc.) and Bad (Various Competitors), and the way that there were multiple bad guys/girls. (It wasn't like watching a series where there is onlyone bad guy who keeps coming back, over and over.)Definitely worth the time, and worth the money- I had to buy a copy for myself!

A-KA-RI!! I love this series. Why? I can't put my finger on it. It's a very... simple... story, but with a lot of emotional tug. The characters, despite their funky hair styles, are real. This is also a nice comedy. Even my seven year old brother enjoyed this one (uhm, be warned, though: nudity of sorts), especially because of "Kris Kristopher." ^_-
