The story starts out straightforward enough: Goku, an ex-cop-turned-detective, is on the case after his former partner and other coworkers mysteriously commit suicide. He finds out that these deaths are all connected to one person: a wealthy businessman named Hakuryu, but there's no evidence.
This is where things get weird. As Goku digs deeper, he sneaks into the bad guy's base, which is complete with a giant, a half-naked dog-like motorcycle-hybrid woman who shoots pink lasers from her mouth, and robot mosquitoes equipped with anesthesia. Meanwhile, elsewhere, there is also a naked woman with peacock feathers that have eyes on them which hypnotize people, and a guy who has a bunch of the robot mosquitoes stored in his head. Goku is almost hypnotized by the peacock woman, but he gouges out his eye, and then he is saved by some mysterious benefactor for mysterious reasons. The benefactor replaces Goku's eye with a mechanical eye that can control every computer, satellite, and otherwise any mechanical device, and also gives him what is basically some sort of magic stick that can do stuff when paired with the eye. Goku then summarily goes all out and kicks butt in a series of extreme, yet highly entertaining, action sequences.
Besides the plot being an absolute cheese-fest, the one-liners Goku gives are gold. He seems to always know the right thing to say at the right time, with deadpan delivery. The voice actor for Goku only had a few other roles, so I guess he wasn't very experienced. At times it sounded like he was just reading straight from the script, which actually made his lines funnier.
Technical aspect-wise, this OVA is decent. It has nice animation and character designs, and nice voice acting (except for Goku), especially for the villains, who were played by popular voice actors. The music is good, particularly the ending theme. Some of the sound effects seemed a little off, however.
The story, despite its outlandish cheesiness, manages to have a beginning, middle and end, which is more than can be said for a lot of these '80s OVAs. There is virtually zero character development; however, in this kind of show, character development isn't really necessary (and good character development doesn't usually happen within a 50-minute timeframe, anyway). The two female characters in this OVA are both topless for long periods of time, so this is difficult to recommend to the average viewer, but it's definitely watchable and enjoyable.
Recommended for people who like a good dose of cheesy action, if you don't mind the outrageousness and the nudity.
