Impressions:

Well, this was the biggest shock of my life…almost. Really, this show is just a bombardment of crazily random things which have no meaning and depth whatsoever. It’s like watching Teletubbies, only…cooler, shall I say. Ok so don’t take that comparison the wrong way. Really, the concept is incredibly ridiculous with no basis, and the story is just…non-existent. Quality is excellent, though this is Gonzo we’re talking about. This first episode probably costed them more than the rest of the series combined. Anyway though, if you haven’t got it yet, let me say that I actually loved this first episode. Basically, don’t think when you watch this show. Do NOT try to analyse it or something crazy like that. You will only succeed in getting dumber. Don’t ask stupid questions like: Why is this girl’s weapon a pair or carrots? Or why do her breasts get bigger when she transforms? Or why did people bother to build some special HQ on the moon? Or how is it possible for something to get from the moon to the earth in a matter of seconds? Or how the hell does a pile of pink goo turn into a marge robot? Or- well, you get what I mean. There is no answer. Just accept it. That way, you can have fun and enjoy the show!

Just from reading that, you should understand how crazy and random this show is. It’s a real surprise too when you have no idea what’s in store for you. I’m not going to outline the story, that’s just plain stupid. But I can tell you this. The main girl, Mina, gets a job working at a TV station. However, prior to her first job in as an interviewer, a floating, talking baby from the moon teleports to Earth and forces Mina to eat a carrot. This carrot then causes her to transform like a mahou shoujo into a Rabbit Force member. Two big carrots are then created at the Rabbit Force base on the moon, and fly down to earth in 10 seconds, attaching themselves onto Mina’s new mahou shoujo costume. Prior to all this though, an alien shows up, who turns into a big pile of pink goo, before changing again into a giant robot baseball player. Another member of the Rabbit Forces, who is also called Mina, starts attacking the robot. Mina(1) uses her carrots as rocket propulsion and engages the robot. In a combined attack, the two Minas manage to defeat the big robot. Also, note that the ED features stills of plenty more Rabbit Force members, all with different bunny costumes! Well, if you’re brain has not been damaged by these words, go and watch the ep!
