Summary: Do not buy this DVD (or VHS) if you read the comic
Review: The anime is rather disappointing if you had read and loved the comic. It was badly done... and skipped too much story. And if you thought the ending of the comic was rushed, wait until you see this one... there was no ending at all.

The music was bad, too. I read other reviews and had high hope on music... very disappointed.

So if anyone recommand this title to you, go read the comic instead (good luck on finding a copy). Excellent comic, btw. 5 stars. Best comic I've ever read. Don't waste your money on this anime.

Summary: Confusing but worth every minute
Review: The DVD covers the three OAV videos (OAV - 'original anime video' in Japan) that were a condensed version of a 14 book (manga) story. The videos were never meant to tell the story - they were only meant to cover some of the key points of the books for the thousands who fell in love with the "Please Save My earth" story in Japan.

For those who haven't read the series, it may be a bit confusing - especially since story arcs in the videos are never explained or finished (3/4 of the whole story is not covered in the videos). However, the animation is very good and the story is exquisite - not to mention the haunting music at the end.

This is my favorite of all my anime - a beautiful and wonderfully original love story.

This is a DVD you will want to watch many times as you discover more about the story each time. Definitely not one you get bored of watching.I highly recommend it - just don't get frustrated by the lack of concrete ending. This journey is much more fun than the arrival.

Summary: Wonderfully engrossing plot:o)
Review: This 6 part OAV has beautiful animation, great music (composed by Hajime Mizoguchi and an ending song by Yoko Kanno), and a complicated and gripping plot. It is a love story between Alice and her younger neighbor Rin, based on a manga of the same title. It's also a story with revenge, destiny, romance, guilt, redemption and plenty of secrets and plot twists.

6 high school students thought they were normal - until they start having moon dreams. Slowly, they begin to realize these dreams tell of their past lives - a time when a group of 7 alien scientists lived on the moon to watch over and care for earth. As they meet together to discuss the dreams, more about their past is revealed - and more questions arise. Why were they brought back to life on earth? Where is the 7th scientist of their group?

The ending is a little rushed - there are over 20 volumes of manga being covered in the 6-part series, so it expected that some questions will be left unanswered. The movie, not yet released in America, retells the series in a 90 minute movie with some added scenes that help that problem a bit, however.

The DVD contains both English and Japanese tracks, a FAQ, a no-credit version of the ending, and biographies on all the 7 main characters and their other lives. While I'm generally a strict sub-fan, I have to admit that the dubs weren't too bad. They were done by The Ocean Group from Canada, who are known for good dubs - Gundam Wing, Escaflowne, Ranma 1/2. The bios and FAQ may contain some spoilers for those who haven't watched the series yet, but I felt they helped me remember all the characters and keep their reincarnations straight. You get a very brief run down in one of the earlier episodes in the series, but with all the plot twists, it can start to get confusing by the end.

The only thing I don't like about this DVD is the cover art. It isn't bad - but it could have been a lot better:o) It just doesn't strike me as something a casual view might pick up - whereas the VHS boxes were much more intriguing to the browsing eye. Also, its a picture of the moon lives and I personally feel the story is much more about their present incarnations.

Other than that little tidbit, the DVD is great:) It contains all 6 episodes on one DVD and the previously unreleased Japanese version! It's a great story and definitely a positive addition to anyone's collection!

Summary: Please Save Your Anime Collection
Review: This is a great OVA series. Do yourself a favor and get this one, believe me, you will love it. The story goes like this: A group of seven kids discover that they are the reincarnations of seven alien beings who had watched the earth for many years. But two of the seven harbor a secret that makes them deadly rivals. It is a story filled with interesting plot twists and a nearly incomprehesible finale. Okay...it's not that bad, but when you see it, you'll know what I mean. The DVD has an unneeded FAQ section that explains many points that are revealed in the serise. I guess it's there for those who didn't pay attention. I suggest you use the subtitled version of the serise, for the dubbing isn't excellent. But those who perfer dubs, it's not that bad. As I said before, this anime is definately worth looking at.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The 2ed movie to bring tears to my eyes in 10 years.
Review: This is one of the BIG anime. You can't say "I'm an Otaku" if you haven't seen it. No offence to the mangaka, but thank the character designer the characters look different from the book^^*

This is a DEEP anime. Like "Lum Urusei Yastura. Beautiful Dreamer" & "Grave of the Fireflies" you slowly sink deeper & deeper into the story, & you have to pay atention because it's complex & all ties togeather. If you blink you'll miss something.

At first, you'll think "Ren" is a brat, but as he becomes more & more "Shion" he'll grab ahold of you & make you wish & wonder.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Earth
Review: This is probely best for people who have read the Manga series.However I loved it any ways.I thought it was a splended series with beautifel music.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: let's just say this changed my life
Review: well, it's certainly one of my favorites, and deeply lodged in my heart! it's incredibly unique, and thought provoking. if people say it's confusing, that's because they only watched it once. you really need to watch it more than once to understand the entire story. and the part that changed my life would have to be the flashback into shion's past where yoko kanno's gorgeous, haunting music is playing in the background... and the fields, *god* the fields!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent flicker....
Review: When I first watched this dvd I went through a few changes of attitude about Please save my earth. At first it was confusion and drawn out,then it was interesting and then it became sad and very poetic (in my opinion). I think this is well worth the money.
