Wandaba Style: Rocket to Stardom.
Byline: Hanh Nguyen
"Wandaba Style" lives up to its label as a "wacky science fiction series," combining showbiz with space travel and preposterous scientific principles.
Michael Hanagata, a self-described "genius" manager will do anything to propel his latest creation, Mix Juice, to stardom. The group, a la the Spice Girls, is comprised of a disparate foursome: Sakura Haruno, a former child star; Himawari Natsuma, a construction worker who specializes in traditional Japanese ballads; Ayame Akimo, a folk singer who promotes her local supermarket; and Yuri Fuyude, a rocker chick.
Hanagata devises a scheme to have his girls play the first live concert on the moon, thanks to the wealthy boy genius Dr. Susumo Tsukumo and his assistant Kiku No. 8, a pink-haired lass who is really a satellite in human form. The only problem is Tsukumo's obsession with using non-traditional, eco-friendly methods for space travel. His attempts at using a giant slingshot and then a carbonation-fueled rocket both fail due to miscalculations.
"Wandaba" is a high-energy, silly laugh fest. The series' strength lies not only in the absurd situations but also in the eccentric characters. Hanagata and the girls are squabbling egoists, preoccupied with their imminent fame. Tsukumo insists on using archaic units of measurement and tools, such as a slide rule, and is baffled when his experiments go awry. Finally, Kiku No.8 may look like a girl, but is still learning to match her moods with the appropriate human expressions.
The DVD extras are obviously a labor of love for ADR director John Swasey. ...
