In 2535 A.D., after decades of oppressive policies instituted by the Terran government, the people of the colony world Omni joined together to declare their independence from the tyranny of planet Earth. Lacking an established military or specialized weapons of warfare, the Omni rebellion seemed doomed to failure. However, by adapting the robotic Power Loaders used for unloading spaceships into man-like battle tanks, the Rebel forces instead introduced a whole new era of mechanized combat. Now, the future of the planet Omni rests upon a handful of young female pilots who serve in the special Detachment of Limited Line Service. Their code name: The Power Dolls!

Where it came from
Power Dolls originated as a series of tactical role-playing video games developed by Kogado Studio, known for its focus on female armored infantry units. The 1996 two-part original video animation (OVA) series, produced by OLM, was created to expand the franchise's reach into the burgeoning mecha anime market of the 1990s. The production aimed to translate the strategic complexity of the games into a more accessible, action-oriented narrative format, focusing on the elite DoLLS (Detachment of Limited Line Service) unit.
The animation design sought to balance the gritty, industrial aesthetic of the powered exoskeletons with the character-driven tropes common in mid-90s anime. Under the direction of studio OLM, the series utilized a traditional cel-animation style that emphasized the mechanical weight and weaponry of the units. While it holds a place as a cult piece of 1990s military science fiction, the series received a lukewarm reception at the time, often cited for its dense lore which required existing knowledge of the game series to fully appreciate.
