Leda: Fantastic Adventures Of Yohko...
One of Right Stuf's early releases was Leda: Fantastic Adventures Of Yohko...
According to the Anime Movie Guide by Helen McCarthy (page 35). ISBN# 0-87951-781-6, the title is translated as follows:
In Leda: Fantastic Adventures Of Yohko, we join Yohko as she romps through Ashanti and tries to save Noah (Earth) from certain doom. The feature is a mix of Alice in Wonderland and Planet Busters with fast-paced frenetic action and with lots of odd characters. Actually, it's a bit slow in the beginning, but, after Yohko goes through the looking glass, things get more interesting. There is, of course, no gore or naughty bits to speak of. Leda: Fantastic Adventures Of Yohko is family-friendly fun. I gave Leda: Fantastic Adventures Of Yohko a 3 out of 5.
Yohko Asagiri's an ordinary high school student, and she's in love with a boy who doesn't know it. To help things along, she's written a song to explain how she feels... but that song has quite a bit more then a couple of good bridges and a strong middle-eight. Yohko learns this when she's listening to it and is magically transported to Earth's other-dimensional sister world "Ashanti".
It turns out that her song is quite popular with the locals... one might say they're breaking down the doors to get the only copy and a stereo to play it. It would also seem that this song has the potential to open a dimensional gateway between Earth (called "Noah" by the locals) and Ashanti wide enough for a conquering force to invade and take over. This is exactly what someone wants to do. And, it's exactly why it was forbidden eons ago by the legendary warrior Leda who saw this coming.
It falls to Yohko and a few of her newfound friends to stop the onslaught and return the two worlds to balance. There are three on the side of order and an impressive army on the other (who fully understand the power of this discovery)... and the army's scared.
Maybe Yohko isn't so ordinary after all.
