"Prefectural Earth Defense Force," or "Kenritsu Chikyū Bōeigun" in Japanese, is a unique and spirited anime OVA (Original Video Animation) that blends science fiction, action, and comedy. Released on March 20, 1986, it stands out for its playful take on the superhero genre, featuring a quirky cast of characters including problem teachers, students, and even a cyborg transfer student.

The OVA was directed by Keiji Hayakawa and features voice talents such as Hiromi Tsuru and Toru Furuya, both of whom were prominent figures in the anime voice acting scene during the 1980s. The plot revolves around the humorous and exaggerated efforts of the Prefectural Earth Defense Force to thwart the bizarre ambitions of the Telephone Pole Gang, a secret society with a rather unconventional plan for world domination.

This anime is a reflection of the era's penchant for combining seemingly disparate genres into entertaining and often satirical narratives. Its short runtime of 50 minutes makes it a compact yet engaging watch, especially for fans of 80s anime looking for something offbeat and amusing.
