This Boy Can Fight Aliens

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.
