Battle Skipper Review

Continuing where I left off yesterday we come to Battle Skipper.

At St Ignacio school for girls there are only two clubs worth joining and they are the Debutante Club and the Etiquette Club.
The Debutante Club president Sayaka has grand ambitions of seeing women takeover the world and needs the mecha AI the Battle Skipper robots use, while the Etiquette club have possession of the Battle Skippers and use them to stop crime as the Exstars, so basically a personal fight between clubs run by two heirs to the same family, well one sided as Reika is way more disciplined.
Well this isn't actually that bad, the setup surprisingly works and they avoid cheap fanservice, sadly I can't say the same about the motivations of the villain.
Her motives are admirable but make her out as a hypocrite, her financial and political weight is backed by her father, she makes her man servant do all her dirty work while not lifting a finger and she calls herself and her club Debutantes yet in it's default definition, it is a rich girl's coming of age ceremony by being presented to high society as an eligible maiden for marriage, emphasized by a white ball gown resembling a wedding dress.
So her entire ambition is left in shattered pieces and getting such an AI along with mechs just makes her out as a dictator ready to awaken.
This ultimately makes the Etiquette Club look so much better morally if not by it's members openly preferring the Etiquette Club but by it's effort to make women strong in all aspects, rather than "I have money and contacts"
The dub is poor, which makes the already 2D characters look even flatter which doesn't help.
Final Verdict: It's cheesy enough to work but a poor villain really brings this series down, the man servant proved more confident and would've made a better main villain. I also didn't really find the other characters that memorable bar the man servant and the Kansai speaking AI.
