Summary: >

Captain Tita is a feisty young girl who makes her living finding rare pets. And while you'd think that this girl would be a pushover, she can take care of herself. That's probably why she's also managed so well as the captain of her ship: the Plastic Little. Then Tita happened upon a girl named Elise who is being hunted by a rather evil organization. Her father had been working on a doomsday device for the military, before he was killed. Now only Elise has the key to stopping it. So it looks like it's up to Captain Tita to save the day.

Some titles strike a chord that makes you remember them years later. Plastic Little is NOT one of those titles. If this anime has one claim to fame, it's staying true to the art of Satoshi Urushihara (who has a fair following). Also up to par with the designs, the animation is top notch. It's really unfortunate that nothing else in this one is as good as the art or animation. The plot is weak. The story is linear, which is fine, but it seems a lot like Plastic Little is in the midst of a much bigger story that the viewer doesn't get to see. In fact it's like this anime only deals with the boring chapters.

The characters are nothing special. They have little substance, so there isn't much to develop. The attempts at comedy are pretty bad. Plastic Little really doesn't have much going for it. I wouldn't say it's an entirely bad anime, but really forgettable even for an action title. It's got attractive visuals, but basically it comes down to all polish with no substance. Can't say I'd recommend this one.
