pretty creative series

Warning: Spoilers
3 paper sister (Anita King, Maggie Mui and Michelle Chan) have been given the task to bodyguard a japanese writer Nenene Sumiregawa from the British library. And they all go on adventures together to protect this writer and stop the british library.

I do admit though this anime does take time getting used in terms of plot and pacing but overall it is pretty enjoyable.

The dub is pretty unique with Sara Lahti capturing the shy and tomboy personality of Maggie Mui (whom I thought was a guy at first) , Hunter Austin did pretty good as the serious but bubbly Michelle Chan and Tricia Dickson as the snobby writer Nenene . With of course Rachel Hirshcfeld, who was 12 at the time of recording, stealing the show as the cute but unlikeable Anita King. It was pretty cool how Geonon Entertainment/New Generation used child actor to play children rather then using adults to put on fake kid voices. Also loved JB Blanc's voice as the British spy leader Joker with Jessica D. Stone (who was a girl voicing boys at an early age) as Junior who surprisingly caught me off guard and I though was a boy.

The music is pretty good with guitar theme and the james bond style.

The second half was my only qualm how Yumiko was in comparative to the OVA.

But overall, I enjoyed the anime and I would really recomand it.
