About Lightning Trap: Leina & Laika

Lightning Trap: Leina & Laika blends action and sci-fi by Ashi Production (1990). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. What the story covers: The fourth and final OVA of the Leina-centric Machine Robo: Revenge of Chronos spin-off/sequel. Instead of following the story of the previous Wolf Sword Legend continuity, Lightning Trap takes place in another universe.

From there, in present day Tokyo, traveling has never been more comfortable than aboard the Lightning L808, Japan's new luxury passenger plane. One day, on what seemed to be a routine flight, Haruka Leina and the plane's passengers were unaware of the unexplained and top concealed cargo brought aboard. Now, with a risky hostage situation at hand, only special agent Laika Odd and brave Leina may be able to save the passengers, and keep the deadly cargo from falling into the wrong hands...

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 5.5/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 1990, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
