We saw the release last week in Japan from Pony Canyon of the Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! OVA and how Crunchyroll has added it to their streaming lineup. Since it was such a quick drop-in overall and fans had no idea it was coming there wasn’t exactly a lot of promotion for it on the streaming side. Crunchyroll’s fixed that a bit with a new nearly two-minute promotional trailer for it that’s subtitled to give you an idea of what to expect from this show with such a strong title.
Clocking in at just under an hour, it’s available to members worldwide outside of Asia here.
The Japanese release has the DVD is priced at 6,000 yen and the Blu-ray at 7,000 yen. The release will include the clean opening and closing sequences as well as the teasers for it.
The TV series was directed by Shinji Takamatsu while Chizuru Miyawaki assisted and they worked off of the series composition done by Michiko Yokote. Masakazu Ishikawa handled the character designs and the series was produced at studio Diomedea.

Just then, the son of the bathouse owner Yumoto Hakone shows up, and as soon as he sees Wombat, he chases it, screaming “Let me fluff you up!”
The next day, Kinugawa and Yufuin are caught by Wombat once again at school along with the other club members Io Naruko and Ryu Zaou. Bracelets clasp onto the wrists of these four, along with Yumoto Hakone, who bumped into them after chasing after Wombat, with a command that they must save the Earth. “It’s about love-making!” they hear as a bright light emanating from the bracelet envelops their entire bodies. The five transform into the “Battle Lovers,” the heirs to the throne of love…
