Chō Henshin CosPrayers (超変身コス∞プレイヤー, Chō Henshin Kosu∞Pureiyaa^?, translates to Super Transformation Cosmopolitan Prayers) is an eight episode anime that aired in early 2004. It is closely related to the anime Love Love? and Hit wo Nerae (Smash Hit).

Chō Henshin CosPrayers is the story of the young girl Koto Hoshino. She unknowingly seals away Amaterasu the sun goddess while on a school excursion to a visit a shrine and is trapped inside a different dimension. She meets the Cosmopolitan Prayers, priestesses who battle monsters.

Each episode in CosPrayers runs for twelve minutes and has a color in its title. The continuity of many episodes is sporadic which may be due to editing of the original material to fit into the twelve minutes.

[edit] Hit wo Nerae!

Hit wo Nerae!, or Smash Hit! in English, has the lead character Mizuki Ikuta as a producer of Houchiku Corporation's anime CosPrayers. Mizuki is a drama otaku and is often teased for this and for her size, being called Oko-chama which means little girl. She longed to produce a detective series and did not want to work on CosPrayers. Her only producing experience is with R-rated films and she has difficulty with her staff as the storyboard and the script do not match. Mizuki consults the writer of CosPrayers, Naoto Ooizumi, who is the main character of another sequel, Love Love?.

[edit] Love Love?

Naoto is the protagonist of the third installment of the trilogy, Love Love?. The first male main character of the series, he is a quiet high school student that suddenly finds himself involved with five girls in typical harem anime fashion. This anime also has many scenes of nudity and sexual references.
