Saber Marionette RWritten by WarpshadowRating fair

At very least a franchise movie should make sense to fans of the franchise. Saber Marionette R on the other hand breaks the premise of the franchise on a very basic level.

Junior is the son of King Viry of Romana. His best friends are the three androids called Saber Marionettes tasked with taking care of him, Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry. Even though his life is peaceful a dark cloud looms on the horizon. This cloud is Star Face the evil brother of Viry who seeks to conquer the country with the help of his Sexadolls. Will Junior not only be able to escape assassination from the forces of Star Face but also be able to bring peace back to the land of Romana?

Saber Marionette R is what I would call a franchise movie as it is something of a prequel to the more famous Saber Marionette J. However this Oav breaks the canon setting set down in Saber Marionette J in such flagrant ways as to make this Oav almost unpalatable to it's target audience (with a quick glance you may wonder why or how robots age). For everyone else this Oav is a simple story that is about the length of a short movie with a basic plot and characters that aren't that well fleshed out. Either way this is an Oav that I can't really recommend to anybody.
