Project A-Ko

A 1986 comedic Japanese anime film. At the time, it was considered to be an ecchi anime. The anime essentially parodies and satirizes various genres of fiction such as the superhero genre, the fantasy genre, the space opera genre and other science fiction genres. After its debut, 3 sequels also followed. These original films were pretty much a big excuse for the main protagonist to destroy and wreck things.

The only reason why anyone would watch Project A-Ko is due to the "Project A-Ko the Versus" OVA which came in 2 parts: The Grey Side and the Blue Side. This OVA has one of the most powerful anime characters around in the form of the Dragon God, which is, well, a 3-headed dragon deity which tried to destroy the universe as well as the other alternate universes. Pretty much, this OVA is one big giant excuse for the Dragon God to wreck things.
