With color confined to the opening and the end, this is an interesting minimalistic visual presentation with a blanked out background as the action takes place.
Justified in my opinion too, for we are in a setting that is unforgiving and not of this earth and gives us more opportunity to focus on the combatants.
The fight is nicely staged, with unexpected twists. Again Lauretta as a warrior from the far side of the Galaxy looks great in her Spartan style outfit, which suits the black and white visuals.
Aria as a mere earthling not so adorned costume-wise, nor so lucky because tactics are stacked against her, is feisty as ever.
One difference is that the women never wished to fight in the first place but are compelled to by those mysterious aliens in Space watching via CCTV and (how terrestrial) addicted to laying bets ("one more challenge...", "You have still one more.." etc., etc.).
Will Aria or some other hapless Earth girl(s) be fated to battle their way in and out of the Galaxy again and maybe die trying?
