One of the original fantasy animations that inspired the now common High fantasy genre in anime.
the animation alone makes this movie worthwhile, but if you are a fan of the Heavy Metal type fantasy
you will specially enjoy this movie.

Asagiri Youko is an ordinary high school student, and she is in love with a boy who does not know it. To help things along, she has written a song to explain how she feels, but that song has quite a bit more than a couple of good bridges. Youko learns that while she is listening to her song, she is transported to Earth's other-dimensional sister world Ashanti. This song has the potential to open a gateway between Earth and Ashanti for a conquering force to invade. And this is exactly why aeons ago it was forbidden by the legendary warrior Leda, who saw this coming. Leda's warrior duty now falls to Youko and some new-found friends to stop the onslaught and return balance to the two worlds.
Maybe Youko is not so ordinary after all.

This anime is an obscure old classic OVA from the mid-80s. It doesn't have the most original plotline or mind twisting premise, but still succeed in term of storytelling, pacing and production value. It doesn't try to be more than it should be. You can expect good quality animation, effective sound track and classic 80s fighting bishoujo character. All in all, a honest entertainment with more than decent qualities. Recommended to retro fans and people wanting to see a nice piece of animation.
