Battle Can2

For a team of female operatives, chasing space pirates, wrestling aliens, and recovering stolen treasure are all in a day's work — and their latest case involves a priceless gem called the Cosmic Firefly that someone very dangerous doesn't want returned. That's the setup for Battle Can², a 1987 OVA from Studio G7 that wears its era proudly. The animation has that thick-lined, vibrant 80s energy that fans of Dirty Pair or Space Adventure Cobra will recognize immediately — bold character designs, chaotic action sequences, and a synth-heavy soundtrack that fits the whole thing like a glove. The Battle Can-Can girls are competent, funny, and genuinely entertaining to watch operate as a unit, even when the mission goes sideways in ways that are very much not work-appropriate. This is a hentai title, so go in knowing that — mature content is part of the package, not incidental to it. If you liked Agent Aika and didn't mind that series leaning hard into fanservice alongside its action choreography, the vibe here is similar. It's a single OVA, so the commitment is low — about an hour of your life to see whether 80s sci-fi pulp with this particular flavor is your thing. It's not trying to be profound. It's trying to be a rowdy space adventure with attitude, and on that front, it mostly delivers.
