Synopsis

Mao Onigawara is a happy 8-year-old grade-schooler and the granddaughter of Chief of Staff of Ground Defense Force. Equipped with her cloverleaf-shaped badge which enables her to transform (but gives her no special power whatsoever), Mao and her best friends (granddaughters of Chief of Staff of Air and Marine Defense Force, respectively) will defend Japan against the invasion from "cute aliens," who are way too cute to be dealt with by regular armed forces.

Rikujou Bouei-tai Mao-chan(Ground Defense Force Mao-chan in English) is a bit old anime back to in 2002, that is basically intended for kids. If you make a story of a war between military forces and aliens from another planets into an easy-going comedy at the maximum level, that will be Mao-chan.

The Story?
