"Earth Defense Girl Iko-chan 2: Lunna's Secret" is a delightful example of the late 1980s Japanese cinema, blending action and comedy in a way that was quite popular during the era. Directed by Minoru Kawasaki, known for his unique and often humorous approach to filmmaking, the movie follows a new protagonist who takes on the role of Earth's defender.

The film stars Mia Masuda, Mamiko Tayama, and Naoto Takenaka, who bring a dynamic energy to this action-packed narrative. Released on July 13, 1988, this sequel continues the story of Earth's defense against monstrous threats, a common theme in Japanese pop culture, reflecting both the era's fascination with science fiction and the comedic twist that Kawasaki is known for.

The runtime of 43 minutes suggests it might have been part of a double feature or a special television broadcast, a common practice in Japan to provide audiences with a compact yet entertaining cinematic experience. This film is a fascinating piece for those interested in the intersection of action, comedy, and the unique storytelling style of 1980s Japanese cinema.
