Very cheap (in lots of ways) heroine movie from ZEN’s early days. Other than being an excuse to show off lead actress Towa Aino’s body, it also features some surprisingly decent action choreography due to the involvement of Nami Hanada (stunt actress for Power Rangers and various indie toku works). Also, the villains wear dollar store costumes, and it features what’s probably the dumbest training montage in any movie ever. Subbed in English.

Oh hey, it’s another one of those movies. Story-wise, it’s about a bunch of women joining a Shocker-style organization to battle a wrestling heroine, but the premise is really just an excuse to show gravure idols in skintight latex wrestle each other. And well… it delivers well in that area. ~Story We’ve all seen hundreds of stories about the origins of both superheroes and supervillains, but what about the origins of the supervillain’s minions? At long last, the time has come to...

With English subs. Released by ZEN in 2008. Four years before Akibaranger, there was this short series about a three women super heroine team (a gravure model, a mangaka and a maid) who protect Akihabara from creepy nerds turned evil. As you’d probably expect, it’s also filled with the typical ZEN-esque fan service.
