Sol Bianca
The name of the OVA is also the name of the ship that serves as both the home and the interstellar headquarters for an all-female band of notorious pirates. Thanks to a stowaway who hides himself aboard their ship following one of their raids, they learn of the ultimate treasure: the Gnosis (pronounced "G'Nohsis" in dialogue), an artifact reputedly from old Earth itself. Unfortunately for them, the Gnosis happens to be in the hands of Emperor Batros, the brutal ruler of the planet Tres (pronounced "trez" in dialogue) who is executing great numbers of enemies, real or  speculated, as a result of his military occupation of the neighboring planet Uno. Armed with a little luck, a sniper gun that can shoot from orbit, and a technologically advanced ship, the crew of the Sol Bianca are about to make a run for the greatest prize of all. Home video. "Sol Bianca" and "Sol Bianca 2" were released on VHS in 1990 and 1991 respectively. A.D. Vision released a subtitled VHS of the first volume in April 1993. The laserdiscs included an additional 5.25" floppy disk with data files that officially came with them. "Sol Bianca" is one of  the rare cases where the first episode of the show had an English language dub made, but none was made for the second episode. This has been a reason stated by Matt Greenfield at numerous anime convention industry panels as to why a DVD release has never occurred. Video game. A single video game was released based on the series for the PC Engine CD-ROM² on June 29, 1990 by NCS exclusively in Japan. It's a role-playing video game. It featured the ship's crew from Sol Bianca and offered seven episodes. Reception. "Sol Bianca" was voted  best Best Subbed/Dubbed OAV at the 1993 Anime Expo. "Sol Bianca 3" was supposedly canceled due to low popularity in Japan.
