Sent off for some anime called Sukeban Deka, mostly because it cost a dollar-fifty-five, and I am promised gunplay. We'll see.

Isn't that the one with the killer yo-yo?

Possibly. Also some woman going on a government mission as part of a deal to save her mom from death row. As you do.

I only remember the yo-yo because it was featured a lot in the previews. Well, that and the high school uniforms. Didn't get around to borrowing the thing.

It's based on a live-action show from the 80s, if my nerdly memory serves me correctly.

There was a live-action show where people died via yo-yo?

Then again, those wacky Japanese come up with all sorts of crazy things...

Better still, people died via a yo-yo tossed by a girl in a sailor fuku. I Googled a bit to see if my memory was faulty and found this link (http://www.idollica.com/sukebanintro/SukebanDekaIntro.html). So, yay, I remembered right!

That looks like the greatest work of art of the 20th Century.

Hmm, I remember that as live-action, but I think it did have an anime based on the first series.
There's a pretty good info page on it at the encyclopedia Idollica (http://www.idollica.com), if you wanna check it out. It's very late 80s, and very camp.
I even have a record (as in vinyl) of one of the stars from the 3rd series...wow, I feel so nostalgic now...I dunno of what though, since I've never lived in Japan...
