THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Most short, one-shot OVAs end up being disappointing because they try to cram too much story or too much character development into too little time. The most disappointing thing about Elf 17 is that there aren't more episodes of it! I really love these characters, especially the utterly unflappable Prince Muscat. There's just so much room for more crazy adventures! |

I liked how the guy just inexplicably had the power suit on the entire time, he even went to bed with it on. Seemed like it was maybe a bit of a Galaxy Express 999 parody. |

Pretty average starting point of an adventure comedy full of random typical sci-fi and fantasy elements. Good points: The "utterly unflappable" Prince with his fans. Funny and entertaining characters Pretty good to interest you in the full manga For once, I had no problem with Honda Chieko's voice (she usually annoys me a lot) Bad point: Drawings/animation pretty average for an OAV. (it might be an illusion due to the VHS-rip I watched) The manga seems unavailable outside Japan. Enjoyment: 4/5 Score: 6/10 (if the manga is as good on its run, it would probably be a 7) |

It's too bad this didn't get turned into a longer series. Animation was pretty nice, and I liked the characters and the universe. The manga is 8 volumes but it remains untranslated. |

Some good old fashioned SHORT AS HELl anime for ya . I gave it a 6/10 for humor, adventure, having all that suture tech and an alien that looked like Jabba the HUtt. Good times. |

Not bad, comedy worked for me well. Hope I can find the manga somewhere. |

This was a pretty good watch and an entertaining OVA. It reminds me of a more fantasy Dirty Pair. Using the always good Akira Kamiya + the Voice Actors of two main characters from ZZ Gundam was a great choice and they delivered an adequately good performance. This was obviously one of those promo OVAs that was meant to test the waters for a full TV anime, but apparently it didn't succeed. Oh well, maybe the Manga has been translated. |

Also, why did you quote a post that I made nearly a decade ago? |

Great short OVA, it was funny and I enjoyed it, loved the characters especially the prince, too bad there's no more episodes, and as I read in the previous replies the manga isn't translated :( I'll give it an 8, it was a fun ride. |

The most OVA to ever OVA - I loved this! Weird aliens, space adventures, thieves, elves, legends, and some slight perviness. It's just great! |

Very cool, maybe I'll read the manga to see the rest of the adventure. |
