1	The environment has been badly damaged, and animals are going extinct left and right due to the greed and gluttony of humans. If this state of affairs continues, [[{{God}} the Lord]] is going to wipe the Earth clean of all life for its own good -- unless someone can collect all the endangered animals and shelter them in an Ark until such time as humanity is ready to appreciate them.

3	This job would have been Noah's, except that he missed the relevant meeting because he had a cooking class. So instead the duty falls to his daughters, {{Magical Girl}}s Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Now the three of them must travel through time saving various animals (who appear to them as incredibly beautiful humans) -- while still [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld finding time in their busy schedules for school antics]] and maybe even romance (hey, it ''is'' {{Shoujo}}). Unfortunately, it seems [[BigBad the Lord]] ''really'' [[GodIsEvil wants to get his smite on]], as he's secretly sent a group of minions to hinder their progress. It's too bad for him that said minions are less competent than your average member of [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Team Rocket]] -- the real challenge tends to come from the humans who want the Animal of the Episode as a meal, a rug, or a zoo exhibit. Even then, of course, love, justice, and environmentalism always prevail in the end.

7	!!This series contains examples of:
8
9	* BerserkButton: Telling Shem that you've stolen her favorite bear-print panties quite literally sends her into a berserker rage which gives her super-strength.
10	%%* {{Bifauxnen}}: Japheth.
11	* BigBad: [[GodIsEvil The Lord]] himself, who sends minions to stop the three heroines from completing the mission [[TreacherousAdvisor that he gave them]] (to shelter the world’s endangered animals in the Ark) so he can have an excuse to [[OmnicidalManiac wipe out all life on Earth]].
12	* GodIsEvil: The Lord is the BigBad and an OmnicidalManiac, though it's more of a case of WhiteAndGreyMorality.
13	* GreenAesop: The conflict arises because human actions have caused mass extinction of animals.
14	* HumansAreFlawed: The protagonists seem to believe it's worth giving humans another chance, but we never actually meet any sympathetic ones.
15	%%* MagicalGirl: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
16	%%* MoeAnthropomorphism: Of various animals, as well as the planets.
