The mecha designs are actually pretty detailed, especially for an adult show from the eighties, and the quality suggests that some big industry names worked on this specific episode.

I was caught off guard by the standalone story because it feels so different from the previous stuff in the series and I spent the whole time wondering if the creators were trying to make an anti war statement with the way they treated the soldiers but then Nalice jumped back into her power suit and the adult scenes started happening again
taiju_tenacity_158
you can definitely see how this paved the way for those girls with guns shows later on and the animation quality is surprisingly high for something this depraved
orihime_oracle_103
that nazi schoolgirl antagonist with the giant gun was absolutely wild to see in an 80s ova and the military stuff feels like a total parody of war movies
roswaal_rogue_146
I really did not expect a mecha suit to show up after the Ami episodes but Nalice looks cool in that armor and it was such a weird shift in tone

Nalice fighting that girl with the heavy weapons at the academy was such a strange sci-fi turn for this series and it really did not fit the usual vibe
professor_elm_330
The animation on the mecha suit was surprisingly good for a standalone story, and the way it refused to take itself too seriously compared to the darker episodes was nice
clarissa_ss
The nazi schoolgirls felt like random filler and the whole episode had almost nothing to do with the main series which made it feel like a waste of time
yuu_ishigami
Nalice using that academy takeover to show how pathetic the nazi imagery was really stuck with me and it made the whole military vibe feel like a big joke
aerith_gainsborough
There is zero plot connection to anything else in the series so you can basically skip this if you only care about the drama but the comedy was alright
nekogirl22
That power suit Nalice wears is a clear precursor to so many later military girl shows and it is cool to see where those tropes might have started even in an OVA like this
professor_magnolia_334
These clumsy girls in uniforms mocking military stuff was actually kind of funny and it definitely felt like a break from the usual heavy drama

I really did not expect such a huge tonal shift after the last few episodes, but Nalice Scramble was a pretty decent palette cleanser for me. The whole plot with the Nazi schoolgirl and her heavy artillery was totally out there and felt like a weird parody of military tropes. It is definitely not essential for the main story though
hakuda_hero_473
I think Nalice using that mecha suit to fight off those weird nazi girls was the weirdest thing I have seen in this series so far and it felt totally different from the Ami stuff

Watching schoolgirls haul around heavy artillery while wearing nazi armbands is such a bizarre look and it really makes the whole idea of war look ridiculous
riruku_rhythm
My brain was not ready for that school orgy ending and the fact that it started with psychic girls in third reich clothes is just a level of weird I never expected
ho_oh
Seeing the swastika banners was way too much even for an 80s ova, but the psychic girls vs the desperate virgins plot was actually kind of funny in a dark way
sasha_savor_109
You see Nalice in that mini mecha and it feels like a different show until the super virgin club starts fighting the guys and the whole thing descends into total chaos
talon_266
Those third reich uniforms were a crazy choice and then the mecha suit comes out of nowhere and everything just goes off the rails for that orgy scene at the end
luka_lyrical
I think I lost my mind when Mako started falling for that guy and betrayed her whole club because this episode was already weird enough with the psychic powers and those outfits
EPISODE CONTEXT
Following the more intimate, drama-driven 'Ami III' — which explored the fraught relationship between Ami and her step-brother Hiroshi — this episode pivots sharply in tone, introducing entirely new characters and a standalone narrative with no continuity ties to what came before. It functions as a palette cleanser at the series' midpoint, offering a distinct genre experiment between heavier installments. Up next, 'Super-Dimensional Legend Rall 2: Lamu Ru's Counterattack' picks the sci-fi thread back up, continuing a saga introduced earlier in the season.
