Advancer Tina

There is something very dangerous about planet Omega 13. Whatever it is, it's been killing Advancers sent out, one by one, to investigate. The Domestic Union of Arms is perplexed, so top DUA officer Mugal decides to give the job to the most dangerous, most independent, and most expendable Advancer they could find.

They find such an Advancer in the renegade Tina Owens. Currently incarcerated with a 2,000 year sentence for blowing up a planet, she is given a tempting offer. Instead of rotting in her cell, if she'll go to Omega 13, find and destroy any threats on the planet, and determine any exploitable resources for the Allied Earth Government, they'll let her go.

Knowing how dangerous Omega 13 appears to be (and thinking about what has yet to be discovered), how would you decide? Tina takes the job, and she sets off for the planet.

In space no one can hear you... s(c)ream.

Advancer title certainly looks like it was a co-production with it's more western inspired character design and story. It has a somewhat exploitation vibe to it's plot who features nuns, revenge, space pirates and a lot of sexualized violence. The story is fleshed out with a focus on a dystopian science fiction setting that are reminiscent of Alien (1979).

The animation is well done since action scenes with explosions, gunfights and spaceships to be expected in an Science fiction action story. Bodily movement aren't jarring and the use of still frames isn't common. While the erotic scenes ... are themselves a mixed bag since they are questionably erotic they seems to be more in line with the body horror genre. Fans of guro should be pleased, since this ventures far into gore combined with nudity.

Characters themselves are quite decent but it's the main character,Tina Owen and her famous voice actress (Atsuko Tanaka) that really steals the show! She delivers each line with a strong confidence that gives her much depth to how she is and handles herself. Not a damsel in the slightest but a strong woman that most likely is a nod to it's Ripley inspirations and overall themes of motherhood and assault. Which comes full circle in this ova.

Rest of the cast are a bunch of more similar body types. Men are broad shouldered, muscular and tough. Women are slender, tall and somewhat look the same in the chest area.

Backgrounds are nicely done and further gives the series a gritty and almost noir feel. Lots of strained greens, fog and dark colours, to give off a horror palette. It's a rotten world after all in which humanity is desperately searching for habitable space. So it has a post-apocalyptic feel, more akin to Fist of the North Star than Blade Runner.

It comes highly recommended to horror fans moreso than those who might expect pure erotica.

Story
Every task has a price. Some times the price can be to great and the task does not get done. That is why when desperate times come we resort to desperate measures. Even it means a prisoner goes free. A good story idea that wonderfully explained by narrator. As for the conclusion i was expecting a bit more but it works. I was looking for an idea what the characters had in mind after their adventure. Where they stood. Was one going to marry the other? was one going to leave? what about the 1000 years remaining was that supposed to ... be covered in a second episode?

Art
was fine

Overall: I tend to hate horror based films for they have a tendency of really getting to you emotionally. One of the most common ways they accomplish that task is over doing it in some regard like blood or creepy music. Here i felt almost at peace. I understand not everything was nice and pleasant and had a dark tone but it was nothing that i was going to have nightmares over. For that reason i was happy to watch the film. That is the ways films should have stayed. Light horrors can accomplish the same thrill without the need of seeking a therapist afterwords. Best watched if you don't mind a hentai spin on a Riddick like movie.

In the year 3113, the planet Omega 13 contains a dangerous secret. Whatever it is, it's been killing Advancers sent out one by one to investigate the planet. Wanting to find out whats going on as quickly as possible, DUA (Domestic Union of Arms) officer Mugal decides to give the job to the most dangerous and expendable Advancer they could find, Tina Owens.

Currently incarcerated with a 2,000 sentence for blowing up a planet, she is given a very tempting officer. If she goes to Omega 13, finds and destroys any threats on the planet, and determines if there are any exploitable resources for the Allied ... Earth Government, they'll dismiss her sentence. Tina takes the job knowing fully how dangerous it is. She then sets off the planet, getting help from another Advancer and a kid with psychic abilities.

I'm going to say this up front, if you don't like blood and violence mixed with your sex, you probably should avoid this one. And for the rest of you looking for something to beat your meat to, this one doesn't have a whole lot of them, and they're not the best. But that's not to say that this anime isn't worth watching for other reasons.

I enjoyed this a lot more than the first hentai in the "Best of Kitty" Collection, Orchid Emblem. The lead female character actually kicks ass right from the outset, and does so throughout the whole OVA, which is rare to see in a hentai. The animation might be about the same quality as Orchid Emblem, but the fact that this uses a bunch of sci-fi cliches, and even steals a bunch of stuff from Aliens, put's a few steps up visually from Orchid Emblem.

The voice acting is still forgettable mediocre, but at least no one was quite as grating as the voice actors in Orchid Emblem. The soundtrack is cheesy generic rock that I'm pretty sure was take from some Casio keyboard that was left in some storage room since the 80s.

Even the plot is actually mildly interesting, in that things actually happen. Sure, it introduces stuff out of nowhere, but stuff is actually happening to actually hold my interest. I almost wanted it to be a bit longer. I say almost, because I know how small the budget for a hentai from the 90s was, and I doubt it could be stretched any thinner.

If you like old cheesy anime that's a mix of sci-fi stereotypes and Direct-To-VHS schlock, you might get a kick out of this one. Sure it's not quite cult classic status, but it sure is enjoyable to watch.
