Plot summary

Sixteen years after a crashed alien ship destroyed the city, Graviton City has been rebuilt, and Eiko "A-ko" Magami and her best friend Shiiko "C-ko" Kotobuki arrive as transfer students at Graviton High School for Girls. A-ko has superhuman speed and strength, though she thinks of herself as an ordinary teenager whose main problem is oversleeping her alarm. Their classmate Biko "B-ko" Daitokuji, wealthy and spoiled, fixates on C-ko and, remembering a kindergarten rivalry with A-ko, sends mecha piloted by her followers against A-ko each morning. All the while, a trench-coated spy called D trails the two girls and reports to a spacecraft closing in on Earth.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Project A-Ko (1986)

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.

  • Project A-ko began as an entry in Cream Lemon, a series of pornographic original video animations, before the staff decided to turn it into a mainstream title; the only sequence kept from those days is B-ko's private bath scene.
  • As a nod to its Cream Lemon origins, the owner and several working girls from the brothel in the Cream Lemon episode "Pop Chaser", on which director Katsuhiko Nishijima worked as an animator, appear in a classroom that A-ko and B-ko crash through during a fight scene.
