Plot

Sora, Umi and Ao are three school-aged girls who will tackle any job: delivering lunches, to doing your homework and cleaning smokestacks, in order to amass enough money to buy a nearby island and make their own country. However, they have encountered their biggest challenge yet: to convince a boy, Rikku, to go back to school when they themselves do not go.

Characters

  • Sora is the de facto the leader of the group. She is the most energetic. Voiced by: Ayaka Saito (Japanese); Hilary Haag (English)
  • Umi is child very much like a business woman. Specializing in beauty and planning, she believes money can solve everything. Voiced by: Yumi Higashino (Japanese); Luci Christian (English)
  • Ao is confident in reaching the ultimate goal of buying the island. She is cutely hilarious and intelligent despite her impaired hearing. She communicates using sign language, which is authentically recreated in the anime. Voiced by: Kaori Nazuka (Japanese); Monica Rial (English)
  • Riku is a student who refuses to go to school. He seems somewhat pompous, and is quite ignorant. Voiced by: Kaori Shimizu (Japanese); Tiffany Grant (English)

    • Reception

    Grrl Power received an Excellence Award for animation at the 2004 Japan Media Arts Festival.
