Cyberteam in Akihabara (Akihabara Denno Gummi) is a Japanese Anime Series from 1998 that is very under appreciated and unfairly derided by anime critics and others. Some aspects of if may appear to be a bit silly, but it's supposed to be a bit silly. Others have criticized the convoluted, intertwining plot lines but that's what makes it entertaining. There's enough lesbianism, large boobs, panty shots and bathroom humor that makes this strictly not for kids. There' even a perverted dirty old man who likes to peep up skirts at girls' underwear (Later revealed to be Kamome's Grandfather) The setting of the series is Akihabara Japan where the latest craze among pre-teen and teenage girls are cute cybernetic pets called "Pata Pies" The main character, 12 year old Hibari Hanagokani is just starting Jr. High School. Hibari longs for a Pata Pi and looks with envy at her best friend's (Suzume - from a very wealthy family) Pata Pi, "Francesca". Hibari has been having recurring dreams about her "Prince" for quite sometime when the dirty old man (after peeping up her skirt) tells her that her price is waiting for her. She runs to what looks like the hill and tree she's seen in her dreams. She sees her Prince in the distance but he vanishes when she gets there. A flurry of feathers descends from the sky followed by a glowing yellow orb. Hibari takes the orb in her hands and it emits a blinding white light. When the light subsides, she discovers that she has been given her very own Pata Pi from her Prince. She names him Densuke. (You find out later in the series that this was the name she suggested for her younger brother before her mom miscarried). While walking home from school, Hibari decides to take a shortcut through a dingy alley (big mistake). She is confronted by a statuesque masked woman (Jun/Blood Falcon) with ridiculously large breasts. While threatening Hibari she even fondles her breats and feigns orgasm (like I said: not for kids). She demands that Hibari turn over her Pata Pi but Hibari refuses. Blood Falcon responds by throwing several needle-like devices in the ground which inject the soil with a concoction that makes it materialize into creatures called "homonculi". When that doesn't work, Jun/Blood Falcon rams a type of sword into the ground opening up a temporal portal from which emerges a creature called "Cerebus" (from the mythical 3-headed watchdog of hell). As Hibari cries out loud, her tears fall on Densuke. He begins to glow brightly and is taken up into a beam. Within this beam Densuke is transformed into a (nude) 20-something young woman who looks remarkably like Hibari. While in the beam, a black-skin suit and several pieces of "mecha-armor" are applied to her. This is the Diva awakened within Hibari's Pata Pi. The Diva defeats Cerebus by punching a hole in its face from which a greenish goo spurts out, some some of which gets on her face (don't need to be Felini to figure that one out). Cerebus vanishes back through it's portal and Jun flees. And so the adventure of Hibari, her friends and their Pata Pies/Divas begins. Over the course of the series, along with a number of twisted and ridiculous(in a good way) subplots we see the awakening of the other Divas of Hibari's friends, Suzume and Tsugumi, Kamome and later in the series, Tsubume (who is at first an enemy of the other 4, then joins them). It isn't serious drama, just fun. Some really great rocking songs by Japanese artist, Masami Okui.Read full review
