ARIEL (All Round Intercept and Escort Lady) is a short series about an old man who builds a giant feminine fighting robot. He wants his granddaughters Kizumi and Aya to pilot it. He also wants his niece, Mia to as well. The only problem is... only one wants to actually pilot the thing.
The rest is typical. Some aliens want to come to Earth to destroy ARIEL. They don't really have the budget to, though. I can see why. They spend a lot of time eating and drinking, or wasting time with stupid military tactics...
No NUDEES! No SWEAREES! LOTS OF VIOLENCEES! There was a TON of violence. There were decapitations, things getting punched through others' heads, etc. The blood was flowing greatly and other body parts hung out... yummmmmm...
Storyline
5/5 It was quite simple and easy to understand.
Character Development
5/5 Very goo (goo=good)
Plot Depth
4/5 Uh... not really.
Music
5/5 It was good! I liked the ending song... it was cool.
Sexual Content
5/5 None whatsoever.
Nudity
5/5 There was this one scene where Mia was going to take off her clothes to change, but all you see is her underwear (it was pink!)
Violence/Gore
2/5 Lots and lots of extremely detailed and shiny blood, among other body parts falling out. I think this may be almost as violent as AKIRA (which was pretty violent...)
Animation
5/5 It was good.
Profanity
5/5 None!
Overall goodness
5/5 It was very good. I liked it because it was... it was just cool. The mech design RULED!
Totals: 46/50, very good!
ARIEL is a cool movie that's about these weird poor aliens that try to attack Earth, but since they're poor, they don't have enough money for all that military power. They ARE the military, but no fancy crap. So, this mad scientist builds a big robot, ARIEL. Which stands for All Round Intercept Escort Lady. Long enough name, huh? But there is a problem, as there always is. The pilots don't want to pilot it! Aya, Mia, and Kizumi are his granddaughters, but they hate him. Well, Kizumi doesn't.
During an attack, Aya refuses to go. That sucks. The aliens have big fat monsters which bleed much when they die.. WILL THEY SURVIVE?? Ah, most likely, considering there are two sequels.
Storyline
5/5 Good! Very short and bloody!
Character Development
5/5 Good enough. Not much time of which to develop!
Plot Depth
5/5 Dig deep enough and you've got something.
Music
5/5 The 80's beat rules forever!
Sexual Content
5/5 None at all.
Nudity
5/5 None at all.
Violence/Gore
2/5 Very surprisingly violent. Lots of blood pouring all over the place after the monster was decapitated! Well, that happened more than once.. many a time.
Animation
5/5 Pretty good. Choppy at times, but that was the TRIPLE SHOT! So who cares?
Profanity
5/5 I don't think they swore at all.
Overall goodness
5/5 Very cute and bloody! I will watch it AGAIN AND AGAIN! Good family fun! Err.. no families allowed, though.... ^_______^
Totals: 47/50, VIOLENCE IS FUN!
TOTALS: 46.5/50 Very nice, very goo.

ARIEL is funny. It's all about the aliens and their thrifty spending habits, we tell you. This series is for the science-fiction people as well as those who like a good old comedy. It's quite violent, and the 80's music soundtrack is addicting!
