The story involves Tita Mu Koshigaya, a young woman who captains the ship Cha-Cha Maru, and who collects exotic animals for sale to zoos for profit. The captain becomes involved in a war of international importance when her LoveInterest and shipmate Elysse is tracked down by a militant force intent on discovering a secret that may serve the deciding factor to the world's future. Both incarnations of the story include an action/adventure plot stimulated with heavy character interaction and much {{Fanservice}} as common for a Satoshi Urushihara work.

The story involves Tita Mu Koshigaya, a young woman in the skies of Ietta who captains the ship Cha-Cha Maru, and who collects exotic animals for sale to zoos for profit. The captain becomes involved in a war of international importance when her LoveInterest and shipmate Elysse [[MysteriousWaif Elysse]] is tracked down by a militant force force, led by the armored man and aspiring conqueror [[BigBad Guizel]], intent on discovering a secret that may serve the deciding factor to the world's future. Both incarnations of the story include an action/adventure plot stimulated with heavy character interaction and much {{Fanservice}} as common for a Satoshi Urushihara work.



* BigBad: In the original OVA, Guizel is the armored commander of a rouge military faction that aims to conquer Ietta, and he seeks to capture [[MysteriousWaif Elysse]] to activate his gravity weapons, putting him against [[TheHeroine Tita]] and her crew who want to protect her. The manga is more episodic and has NoAntagonist.

Added DiffLines:

* WomenAreWiser: Downplayed. There are plenty of compassionate male characters, but whereas the main hero and captain of the ship, Tita, and the {{Deuteragonist}} Elysse are both women, the loathsome BigBad Guizel and his soldiers are all men.

*TheFriendNobodyLikes: While he's a competent enough member of the team in his own way, Roger borders on being TheLoad at times due to his tendency to over graze the team's food supplies, as well as [[TheGadfly annoy]] Tita ([[DoggedNiceGuy and Nichol by proxy]]) with his peeping tom antics.

* BarbieDollAnatomy[=/=]NippleAndDimed: While the anime no doubt had no shortage of lovingly-drawn and detailed breasts and nipples (with a few ass shots thrown in for good measure), the females' crotches were always featureless in the few blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments they were exposed. Briefly averted in the manga, however, which shows a bit of Tita's pubic hair that was just a ''bit'' too high up to be cut off by the panel border.



* GratuitousRussian: The Russian of the news paper some of the crew members id reading is really, really bad.

* BondVillainStupidity: During the final battle, the main villain has Tita by the neck and is counting down until he breaks it, when Tita finishes it from him and blows his brains out. What makes it particularly stupid is that the villain ''knows'' Tita is holding the gun (and she is still capable of using it) and doesn't do anything to disarm her.

* BulletproofVest: Pet Shop Hunter jumpsuits. However, it is demonstrated that just because armor can keep bullets out doesn't mean it necessarily prevents ''damage'' - On one occasion, the BigBad tortures Tita by repeatedly shooting her in the stomach until the she spits blood from internal injuries.



* PaintedOnPants: Actually, a painted-on jumpsuit that is improbably bulletproof.
