On a planet of lesbians ruled by her disappointed mothers, "Princess Saira" always ends up in the singles section of their annual celebratory ball. Then she goes and gets herself a girlfriend called "Kiki" and their hopes for their daughter skyrocket. Sadly, though, "Saira" proves a little too intense and girly for her more adventurous pal and so she gets dumped. Meantime in a galaxy far, far, away a trio of white straight "Malien" are desperate to find themselves a chick. They concoct a cunning plan to kidnap "Kiki" - and then use her as bait to lure "Saira" to their planet where they can pin…

It falls on some visual motifs from popular magical girl anime. Nothing it said was particularly new, or earth shattering, but not everything has to be. It was fun, cute, a little bit sexy. I personally resonated deeply with the main character (I often feel like I'm from space, being a trans-lesbian). I found the music sweet, great for fans of Sidney Gish or Frances Forever. If you've ever fallen vict…
