Yeah, this is one of those kind of shows.
Prefectural Earth Defense Force is pretty much 1980's anime distilled in a single, 50-minute OVA. It represents everything that made anime in the eighties what it was. And I mean that as a compliment. If you're the type of person that ALSO considers it a good thing, then this is for you.
It's definitely a ridiculous premise, but that's sort of the point. It's not supposed to make logical sense, you just have to roll with it. Just like you roll with, say, Project A-ko. Or Urusei Yatsura.
Love the character designs. Love the characters. Sometimes the slapstick does get a little too slappy. Unfortunately, this is all of PEDF that was made. So, I guess if you want to watch more, you'll just have to watch it one more time.
