This is one rather....um interesting OVA series. It basically takes in a post-apocalyptic world where all men are extinct (oh geez, thanks a lot.... Rolling Eyes ), and women basically ruled what's left of the world. Perfect excuse for shoujo-ai content, don't you think? Surprised

Despite the hopelessness on the fate of the human race, something called ICE gets discovered which contains a possibility of new male births which may save them. Of course there's still war going among the women between those who want to save the human race and those who are insistent to accepting the face that they're doomed. And there's a relationship growing between Hitomi and Yuki.

The designs like the backgrounds, weapons, and costumes looks really spiffy; it reminded me something out of Gonzo's Trinity Blood. The characters designs look rather sketchy and a bit unrefined though, and I'm not totally sold on the voice acting (supposedly most of the female seiyuu's are part of a singing group known as AKB48).

Hey, we get made extinct often enough too. Saber Marionette J, anyone? Okay, so it's not so much extinct as didn't survive the trip to the new planet or whatever (but did they go to that planet because Earth was dying? I can't recall) but it's still the same idea. At least they didn't make male-looking cyborgs to serve them (did they?)

Regardless, might check this one out eventually. It sounds...interesting...at least.

Saber Marionette J aye. Problem is technically if women were to go extinct, how would we pro-create? And all the women must have gone extinct after the main protaganist was born.

Oddly, it's this part that gets me interested even more than the Yuri/Shoujo-ai aspect. Most of the "all men are gone" series I've seen that involved war in any way always seemed to have the women living in peace until a lone male mysteriously appears and starts a war on purpose or he accidentally causes a war. So often they have this "women are perfect, men are terrible" mentality that bugs the heck out of me.

Of course, this has only been my viewing experience. Maybe I missed the more balanced apporaches to the idea. (Also should note all the things I saw were live action.)

This sounds a bit interesting though. I wonder what the chances of it being licensed are.
