Despite the title, this is not a feature but the three-part OAV Battle Skipper (1995), which Takashi Watanabe directed before going on to Slayers.
When the members of the Etiquette Club at St. Ignacio's School for Girls go down the tubes--literally--they acquire the skimpy outfits they wear to pilot the unfortunately named BSs or Battle Skippers, state-of-the-art military mecha. As "Extars," the Etiquette Club members fight to eliminate evil from the world, which means the bizarre schemes of Sayaka, the nasty, super-rich president of the rival Debutante Club, and her flunky, Todo.
The series was created to promote a line of robot toys from Tomy, and viewers who are willing to accept high school girls' quarrels escalating into battles involving satellite weaponry may enjoy these silly adventures.

Where it came from
Battle Skipper, released in 1995, is a three-episode original video animation (OVA) produced by Artmic and AIC. It emerged during a decade-long wave of interest in mecha-girl subgenres, where human-piloted or cybernetic suits were integrated into slice-of-life narratives. The project was conceived as a lighthearted action series, balancing the technical aesthetic characteristic of the studio with the comedic and interpersonal tropes common in mid-90s anime.
The character designs and animation direction were heavily influenced by the era's focus on fluid, high-energy action sequences, particularly the small-scale 'battles' featuring the titular mecha. Upon its release, it was received as a niche entry in the competitive OVA market, noted primarily for its distinct visual style and its effort to blend traditional mecha tropes with a school-life setting. While it did not reach the widespread acclaim of Artmic's more prominent works, it remains a recognized artifact of the studio's mid-90s creative output.
