This Boy Can Fight Aliens
この男子、宇宙人と戦えます。
All hope seems lost when the world is suddenly invaded by aliens. Earth's only defense is a small three-person team known as the Special Counter-Aliens Task Force, consisting of an anonymous director, the tyrannical Shiro, and the easygoing Arikawa. The luck of the Task Force improves when Arikawa finds a teenage boy lying alone on a hill. The boy, Kakashi, is humanity's only hope—he has power previously unbeknownst capable of defeating the aliens! However, without any memories and with no knowledge on how to use his power, Kakashi is left clinging to Arikawa and Shiro as well as the only remnant of his previous life: his broken cellphone. Kakashi is conflicted by the fears and emotions clouding his mind and he calls his own motivations into question. Can he overcome his doubts and internal struggles and save the world?

Some people say that there's no plot and the story is too simple but I can't disagree more. The show makes you ponder about the deeper question behind it. Why are they attacking? Why should I fight? What happens if I don't? Am I alone? To me, the story is absolutely stunning (and I ended up crying a little while watching). It is some what light hearted but those who have watched anime like Bokurano will definitely be struck by the similarity between the underlying theme. The main issue with this is the animation. However, I came to watch it with the full knowledge thatit is a mixture of anime and comics animation so while it is a major drawback, I was not too much of an issue to me.

This was perhaps the one of the most touching things I've watched this new year. If you are a person that likes everything explained and wrapped up nicely in a neat little box, you're not going to like this. However, if you're the type that can enjoy an endearing and heartwarming story, then I promise you won't hate it. A bit about the plot first - aliens invade the world and attack once a day. Only one boy has the power to fight the aliens but he's lost his memories. Anything regarding the aliens or why only Kakashi can fight them goes unanswered - and Isuppose that's mostly because the aliens are the not main point of this story. I interpreted the aliens to be a metaphor for Kakashi struggling against himself. I can't tell you why without giving away the end. This story asks a question: is the world a kind place? Kakashi is happy with his new life but he is forced to wonder, does he have friends? Are there people who truly care about him? Why does he have to fight everyday? What happens if he chooses not to fight? It's a very touching although short story. The anime is a mix of animation/comic style artwork. Personally, I found it to be rather refreshing with beautiful artwork. It was definitely stylistic and eye-catching, though there were some odd angles but to me it just made the art even more interesting. And the music... ok, there was a scene where Erik Satie's Gymnopedie started playing and it was like... just perfect. The scene mixed with the music created this heartwarming feeling. This particular anime is not for everyone. I will say that. But if you're open to something completely different from the norm, and want to see a story that's both happy and sad, then this is the one for you. And I can honestly say, that I started this anime with a frown on my face but by the end, I had a smile.

Only one episode. The animation is a little broken. But instead of it being broken artistically it just looks a little sloppy. Also the voice acting is just not as good as it could be. Overall it is just mediocre. But after all that slander i personally enjoyed it. Rough round the edges but it left a lot of room for imagination. I am always a fan of suspension of disbelief.

This anime's story line is a bit airy. U never find out his direct connection to the aliens and why he of all people was chosen to fight but, the story has a broader focus. Dealing with the issues of abandonment and the overwhelming feeling of loneliness in a world that isn't always kind. It's touching and leaves u teary eyed. The art is also quite different then your typical anime and the setting and characters are drawn in an unusual, but fresh way. The art it's selfcompensates for areas where there is minimal animation. This OVA would have made an even greater series if it was further developed. Also the shonen ai bit, it's nothing heavy or in-your-face it's not even really shonen ai so if your worried about strange stuff...ect Uchuujin to Tatakaemasu is defiantly pure

This OVA was not what I expected from reading the description, but it was very good anyways. Story: It basically revolves around the ''what is my place in this world'' theme, which was quite well explained. However I find that it lacks an introduction or setting at the start. The idea behind the story is great, but it woud have been so much better with a second OVA, because as it is it feels kind of incomplete. I find the characters to be a little clichés, but not in an annoying kind of way. Art: I love the art, it's what I prefer from this short film.It is different from what you usually see, but beautiful and very colourful. I don't really like the animation however. It looks as though sometimes it is like a slightly animated manga, and at other times it looks like a normal anime animation. It is not fluid enough. Sound: The voice acting is great in both the Japanese and English dubs. The music is soft and fits really well. Nothing bad to say here. Overall: I enjoyed myself watching this. But like I said a bit earlier, the story feels kind of rushed and would have benefited a lot from a second episode. I would recommand for those who like series with a touch of drama and anyone who likes to simply enjoy good artwork.
