CHRACTERS.

Saori. She has been Shihoko's best friend for years. She follows Shihoko into the etiqutte club where she discovers the clubs secret.

Shihoko. She is Saori's best friend. She isn't the quickest or the brightest girl around. As she is very impressed with Rei and Reika and because of this she wants to join the etiquette club instead of the debutant club.

Kanami. She is very smart and is among the top three students in the country. Although she doesn't look it she is also very athletic.

Sayaka. She is very rich and very well connected. She is the president of the debutant club and very ambitious for more power.

Rei. She is very tough and action-oriented. She is also vice-president of the etiquette club who, at the school, is the only opposition for the debutant club.

Todo. He is Rei's personal servant and completely obedient to her. He will do anything she wants and worships the ground she walks on.

Reika. She is the very gracefull and the best student of St.Ignacio. She is the president of the etiquette club. It was her grandfather who build the battle skippers as a way to atone for all the destructive weapons he was forced to create.

Battle Skippers. These are powerfull robots designed for combat. They are a cross between tanks and the typical humanoid robots.

ART & MUSIC.

Both the art (5/5) and music (5/5) are excellent.

VOICE ACTING

The Japanese acting was great as usual (5/5). I didn't watch the English dub so i don't know how good or bad it is..

Personal note. The fact that they put the word movie behind the title suggests that there is a series of this anime. I'm not sure if this is a good thing. It isn't a bad anime but it sure isn't that good either. All of it has been done before, after and better than this. If you have seen the series and liked it than you will probably love this movie.

If you have any questions please let me know. Also tips and comments about how i can make this sort of blog better are more than welcome.
