  That time some aliens got reincarnated as humans, now they live among us!

  [I’ve never written a review for any piece of media before so don’t expect too much from it. This is probably the only one I’ll do here. I’ll also try to make this review as spoiler free as possible]

  ---

  Have you ever wondered if there were aliens living among mankind? Well, this is basically the plot of Please Save My Earth/ Boku no Chikyuu no Mamotte.

  Based on the manga of the same name and produced by an anime studio you’re probably familiar with (Production I.G.), Please Save My Earth is a 6-episode OVA that centres around a high school student Alice Sakaguchi, her next-door neighbour 7-year-old Rin Kobayashi and five other high school students who all have reoccurring unusual dreams about being alien scientists (who look human in appearance) who were tasked with observing and studying Earth while being stationed on the moon. Also, the fact that the main cast realisation that they’re the reincarnations of those aliens, now the events from their former selves’ complicate things in their current lives.

  I usually have very low expectations when it comes to OVAs. They mainly range from absolute stinkers to pretty good in my experience. But to my surprise, PSME went beyond ‘pretty good’. I only watched this because I was in the mood to watch something short before I watch a slightly longer anime. I’ve discovered PSME through the YouTube algorithm. It was a video recommendation of an AMV of the anime I thought to myself “Wow that was pretty charming, I should pop that into my PTW list”.
  Although I did find it bizarre how Alice accidentally slapped Rin off the Balcony (don’t worry he’s all right).

  I did find the ending to be pretty rushed because it seemed like they were trying to wrap up everything at once in the last episode. Well, I’m guessing that’s a normal thing to happen for most OVAs. Despite that, the story is still interesting though. The OVA was probably just made to advertise the manga (well I guess that's the purpose of most anime haha)

  Now the final thing I want to type about here is the ending sequence. I find it to be very haunting while also being calm at the same time. It may even help put a baby to sleep. The visuals also go well together nicely with the song. Basically, it’s like a visual representation of the main cast trying to deal with remembering their past life in their current life. Honestly, me describing it to you doesn’t do the ending sequence justice, just see it for yourself.

  The Ending Sequence

  Overall, Please Save My Earth was a satisfying watch. It’s a charming and philosophical anime while hitting you in the feels. It’s an anime you all should check out when you get the chance to. And if you really enjoyed it, there is more content in the manga (which I haven’t read yet).
