Discotek Media dug a bit more into the old Central Park Media catalog as back in 2017 they picked up the rights to the next three Project A-Ko works after bringing out the original (and best) film already. Those properties saw a September 26th, 2017 release for all three of them on DVD where they’ll be in their original Japanese with English subtitles as well as the previously created English language dubs.
Now, RetroCrush has been streaming the first movie and has brought out the next three to their streaming service today. Those features include:
Project A-Ko 2: Three weeks have gone by since the alien spaceship crash-landed on the Graviton City spire, and since then the aliens have been hard at work converting their ship to a pleasure district, hoping to make friends with the humans! …Not. Perpetually late and continually over-eating A-ko, spacy and cheerful C-ko, and brilliant and bold B-ko are about to enter summer break from school, and it just so happens the aliens’ ship is open for business. When a free meal turns into a sob story about how the aliens just want to go home, will it be A-ko or B-ko who can get the ship into orbit again? More importantly, which one of the two will win C-ko’s affections? Giant mecha, superheroes, and battle bikinis abound in this second installment of the parody-tastic Project A-ko!
Project A-Ko 3: Spring is in the air, and that means love is sure to follow. Or at least, overpowered redhead A-Ko really hopes it does! While out shopping for the perfect dress, A-Ko gets into an argument with normally carefree C-Ko, who’s more interested in having fun than having a boyfriend. When C-Ko runs away, she’s nearly hit by handsome hunk and motorcyclist Kei, who in turn is hit by a panicking A-Ko rushing after her friend. Left with only a glass slipper earring to remember “her” by, when A-Ko and Kei meet again at A-Ko’s part-time job, the passion of youth is sure to bloom! Or will it? Throw in conniving B-Ko’s plans to ruin anything good for A-Ko, a petulant C-Ko, and a whole mess of mecha, and you’ve got yourself a Cinderella Rhapsody!
Project A-Ko 4: On a quiet day at Graviton High, while the kicks are fast and the missile barrages are booming, Miss Ayumi ponders just where her life is leading. Meanwhile, out in the deserts of Iraq, scientists have unearthed a strange artifact bearing a symbol just like the one on Miss Ayumi’s pendant. Strange things begin to occur, and the strangest of all is Miss Ayumi agreeing to an arranged marriage. With handsome hunk Kei, of all people! Still carrying a torch for the dashing young man, A-Ko and B-Ko take their fight to the school’s gym-turned-wedding chapel, even as a massive fleet of aliens bears down upon the Earth. As the mecha are mobilized and missiles start to fly, C-Ko wonders to herself, where does she belong in all of this? It’s the final chapter of Project A-Ko, and it won’t go out without a bang!
OK, here is what's dropping tomorrow afternoon
