"Birdy the Mighty DECODE" is a remake of the not so old "Birdy the Mighty" which has been serialized in Young Sunday magazine. It talks about a scantily clad female space officer that accidently... destroyed a teenage boy's body. To make it up for him, she allows him to borrow her body while the higher ups fix his own. Now I just like to say that there isn't these weird/kinky/WTF scenes you'd see in gender bender anime's, and there's definitely a more serious approach in the story. What I liked was how entertaining it was to see these two people trying to live with each other and how their opinions often collide at crucial moments. As for the animation, I think it was amazing and suiting for the tone the anime was giving. Simple at times, and just a little dark at others. I enjoyed this anime a lot, and I hope others will too.
