It's already the start of a new school year for the motor-mouthed and over-energetic Poemi Watanabe, and things get off to a typically hyper-energetic start as she strives to do her best to become a voice actress, an ambition she loudly proclaims six times in this episode. But things go from bad to worse when she discovers that an alien with peculiar fashion sense and even more peculiar genitalia has executed and crucified her parents, Nabeshin and Ms. Kumi-Kumi, plus their robot dog, in order to pave the way for an impending invasion by eliminating the combatant Watanabe-family! Her home destroyed and her parents now corpses, Poemy moves in with her best friend, Futaba Aasu, and her six sisters, but there's only time enough for a group bath, the rout of an alien voyeur, and an active time in bed before a massive alien mecha attacks the city, whereupon it turns out that Futaba and her sisters are actually and covertly a team of super-powered heroines dedicated to defending the Earth, also known as Sol III. Unfortunately they're strictly defensive Specialists, and no match whatsoever for the rampaging robot - but perhaps Poemy, gratuitously gifted with a magic fish that transforms her into Puni Puni Poemy, the only offensive Specialist, is! After a typical Magical Girl transformation, however, she promptly throws away her wand, forgoes the use of magic, and attacks the mecha in melee combat. Interestingly, as an in-joke the casting director of the English productions cast Hilary Haag for the role of the Magic Fish, after hearing her disappointment at being cast as the dog Menchi in Excel Saga. The series begins with Poemi fighting (and, at least once, killing) various other magical girls such as the famous Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon, Majokko Tickle, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Megu and Non of Majokko Megu-chan, Mahoro of Mahoromatic, Sakura Kinomoto from Cardcaptor Sakura and the first magical girl Sally, the Witch, whom Poemy uses a Sharpshooter on.
