Soreyuke! Uchuu Senkan Yamamoto Youko

Starship Girl Yamamoto Yohko (Japanese: それゆけ!宇宙戦艦ヤマモト・ヨーコ, Hepburn: Soreyuke! Uchū Senkan Yamamoto Yōko) is a Japanese anime series based on a novel by Takashi Shōji. It consists of two 3-episode OVA sets and a 26-episode television series animated by J.C.Staff and directed by Akiyuki Shinbo. The series was released in the United States by The Right Stuf International on DVD in 2003. The series is set in 2999 AD, where two factions—TERRA and NESS—are engaged in a space war game to control planets. They fight with spaceships, which have been made to teleport their pilots back to the mother ship upon destruction. This results in the battles having no true casualties. Since the reflexes of people in the 30th century have greatly deteriorated, a TERRA engineer, Curtis Lawson, uses a time machine to go back 1000 years in time. There, he recruits four girls to fight for TERRA. (Source: Wikipedia)
