((According to ANN, it was once licensed by The Right Stuf International, but I found no sign of it on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rightstuf.com\/\">RightStuf<\/a> website.)) The story is straightforward anime fantasy: a high school girl is mysteriously transported to an strange world, where she transforms into a warrior in a battle bikini. Screen captures are below the fold.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s silly, but it&#8217;s not cheesy. The art is detailed, and the animation looks smooth to my non-expert eyes. Although there are characters named &#8220;Lingam&#8221; (spelled &#8220;Ringhum&#8221; in the subtitles) and &#8220;Yoni&#8221; and the girls don&#8217;t wear a lot of clothes, there is actually very little that&#8217;s off-color. It&#8217;s probably tolerable for all but the youngest audiences. If you have any interest in old-school anime, it&#8217;s worth checking out.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"lightbox\"  title =\"Leda's warrior\" href=\"http:\/\/shuffly.net\/zoop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/yohko-leda.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/shuffly.net\/zoop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/yohko-leda-262x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Leda&#039;s warrior\" width=\"262\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1776\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Update<\/strong>: Here are two sets of six consecutive frames.
