Poemi is in a Bad Mood

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.

With a Dream Greater than Earth

Now embodying the will of Earth itself, the wastefully energetic Poemi uses her new powers to literally tear through the alien mecha (passing salarymen and one copulating couple within it along the way), pursue her career as a voice actress (loudly referred to nine or ten times), and right wrongs as she sees them throughout the planet. Being wastefully energetic, however, the cure is worse than the disease! Sending a nuclear missile off-course, completely destroying an entire country that speaks in vegetables, breaking the neck of an otaku playing a very mature, sexy computer game, which includes nude girls, porn...And all that pukish stuff... ("Playing pervy games starting in the afternoon is also evil! I mean, those are for nights!" – Poemy) prompts less angst for Poemy than awaiting a pager message from K which never comes. For that matter, the Aasu sisters don't take too kindly to a new magical girl horning in on their family business, sinecure though it was! A brief confrontation between Poemy and the sisters leads to them discovering her identity (and another impressive group bath); this takes the strain off, but when the alien invasion's final phase – a giant Death Star en route to destroy the planet – suddenly begins the next morning and the sisters are captured and Poemy's first voice actress job is rudely interrupted, it is up to Poemy to rescue them from the clutches of the very boy she has a crush on.
