Rating: Summary: Please Save My Earth Review: I have only watched it once in bad quality, because unfortunately it is so hard to find and i decided to wait for the dvd. Yet this is one of my favorite anime of all time. The art is simple but very beautiful, the music is awesome and fits the story wonderfully. And the story is where this one really shines its so sad and human yet somehow has this alien, unearthly feel to it. If you are interested in anime in any way, you must have this one. It is a masterpiece. Oh and you get all the 6 episodes on 1 dvd, great deal.
Rating: Summary: Great story,,, only if it were completed,,, Review: I read PSME in Japanese from comic books, then saw this movie. I was so excited to watch every episode, only to realize that this is not done completely! It ended just when all the interesting part of the story was about to evolve. I felt sad, but thinking that there must be another DVD for the later part. My hope turned into disappointment when I learnt that there was any more!!! I strongly recommend viewers to find a way to read comic books of PSME since the story is a lot deeper and more exciting.

Rating: Summary: Fantastic!! Review: I really loved this OAV. Since everyone has already pretty much summed up the story with the seven scientists living on the moon and then being reincarnated on Earth, I'll move on to the DVD itself. Well, the nicest thing of all is that this DVD contains all six episodes of the OAV which were originally on three seperate VHS tapes. The quality of the animation is amazing. The colors are crisp and bright and the character designs are absolutely gorgeous. Extra's include a section full of viz products including trailers for quite a few other anime (Yay commercials, I can't help it I'm wierd and I like watching them.), also a creditless ending (not that big of a whoop), most frequently asked questions, and a really really helpful character profile and info section. This is great because all seven scientists look TOTALLY different reincarnated, some even switching genders. It gets really confusing who is who and I found myself referring to it a few times throughout the show. The dub is pretty good as well, not the best but it didn't make me cringe like some shows. The music is also another plus. It is soooooo pretty and eerie. It sounds really cool at some parts and fits well in the scenes. The story is very good as well. It's very touching and at the same time exciting. No matter how many times I watch it I never get sick of it. I totally reccomend this show to any anime fan. It has enough action, romance, drama, and science fiction to appeal to everyone.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic, Mysterious, Beautiful... Review: I watched this animation first in an animation festival in my old college campus and I was completely swept off by this beautiful animation. Many people believe that Japanese animation is all about sex and violence. (like Ninja Scroll or La Blue Girl) On the other hand, they acknowledge kiddie classics like Kiki's Delivery Service or My Neighbor Totoro. This is a more mature and complex story, without obvious sex or violence (except some psychic power battle scenes) mysteriously enticing and beautifully presented on screen. My only criticism after watching this whole series (whole series is made up of 6 videos in United States) was that there should be more. The ending is kinda mysterious and it leaves views wonder why it stopped there and what happens after that. But maybe that is the way it should be. Alice (she is a Japanese girl, yet she is named after Alice In Wonderland) is a high school girl so shy and sensitive and innocent that you get to love her more and more as you watch the animation more. You can identify with her shyness and ordinariness so that you feel more love at her specialness Everybday she is tormented by a neighbor's little bratty 9-year-old kid. But actually, that kid is in love with Alice. After an unfortunate accident, Alice and the kid get to be close and the kid even proposes to her. But this is not your usual the little-kid's-first-crush-on-a-big-sister thing. Alice and the little kid and some of her school friends have strange connection that ties them to the moon... the dream about the past life when they were all scientists from another planet living on the moon, studying, observing the earth. And unfinished emotions, conflicts and sorrows starts to surface, leading to that mysterious ending, I talked about in previous paragraph. Watch it! This animation is every adjective I used in the title and more! I am frustrated that there is no more way to say "beautiful" to describe this animation.
Rating: Summary: A wonderful collection Review: I've seeen a lot of anime, especially shoujo series so I was sort of running out of good titles to buy. Then I heard of this shoujo series. I've also read a lot of review on it. People either say it's really good or they really hate it. As for me I decided to give it a try and I loved it!!! I made me wanna cry. This storyline is truly original and deep. You're pretty much confused on the first 4 episodes but that's what makes it good. Just stick around and you'll understand the plot and feel the pain that the main characters are in. This is a seriously good anime, it's not your average school girl love story. I wish it was longer than a 6 episodes OAV. People say the ending sucks but I don't think so. It ended exactly when it should end and I think that's just a great ending. If you don't have this series then you gotta buy it. It's one of the few really good shoujo anime out there.
Rating: Summary: Awesome OAV Review: I've seen this OAV over twenty times ever since it was released on VHS, and I continue to watch it. If you like a good story, then this is it. I think it has one of the best stories you'll see in any film, and the plot is really good. It's not in the fast-paced action-type genre that many people like, but rather, it's slow building. That's not a bad thing, however. I have enjoyed it very much. If you have free time when no one could bother you, you can fully enjoy this title. If you do like this film, I recommend you to also watch "Grave of the Fireflies," which also has a good story. I won't talk about these anime titles, since I don't want to give away any spoilers -- just go ahead and buy these two titles. You'll love it!
Rating: Summary: Please Save My Earth is a Sci-Fi Soap Opera Review: If you want to know the rest of the story, you have to buy the comic books.
Rating: Summary: At first, you love it. Review: It's not that I dislike all shojo. It's just that so much of it is this magical girl stuff that is really unappealing. So when I started watching this I was pleasantly surprised. By the end of the second episode, I was totally hooked. The story, of six people who dream of their past lives together living as scientists on the moon is very intriguing, as well as beautiful, and the characters that are first introduced are very well done. The whole thing was beautiful and compelling. Of course, that made it all the worse when every single story line was seemingly abandoned mid way through. Instead the show deteriorates all of a sudden into some ridiculous dragonball z like fighting scenes, and is concluded with some lengthy out of context flashback sequences that use confusing situations and extensive imagery to hide the fact that there is no ending. At this point I should mention that I know this is based on a much longer manga which tells a much more thorough story. I searched for the manga but was never able to find it, if indeed it was ever even released in the U.S. Given this lack of availability, I sort of wish that the anime told more of the story. After all, if you saw the first half of a movie and liked it but the second half was incomplete, confusing, jumbled images, you wouldn't rate it very highly. The same principle is at play here. Hence, two stars.
Rating: Summary: PleaseSaveMyEarth Review: One of the most beautiful anime i've ever seen. The art is wonderful, the music is beautiful and suits the anime well, and the story is good. Unfortunately it's only six episodes long. It would've been better if they added a few more episodes instead of rushing the series. PSME is about seven main characters that share a common dream about another life on the moon. They are drawn together eventually in their present life to atone for what they've done in their past life. A story about love, faith, and destiny. One that won't dissapoint.
