Rating: Summary: A must have for anime fans! Review: Please Save My Earth is a story about Seven Japanese Teenagers that find each other because they are all sharing the same "Moon Dreams". In these Moon Dreams the Seven Teenagers are Seven Scientists on a Moon Base watching the earth. I don't want to give anything away but you'll fall in love with each of the characters as they discover what is the meaning of all of it. ^^ The DVD version is the only way you can see the Japanese version subtitled and if you are a PSME fan and haven't seen the Japanese version you are missing out!
Rating: Summary: Censorship...? Review: Please Save my Earth is one of my favourite series when it comes to the manga (series of 21 books), so I was very glad to get my hands on the DVD. Out of 6 episodes contained on this DVD, the 5 first ones are exceptionnaly good, they are true jewels. The 6th episode, however, condenses all the remaining events of the story without even getting to the end of the books. In my opinion, this is absolutely unacceptable, because the original japanese version of this animated series covers MUCH MORE of the book series, with all the mad plot twists that makes Please Save my Earth the masterpiece that it is. I seriously think that big parts of the animated episodes were cut out of the American DVD , censored, because they would have been too hard on the watcher and would have made this DVD for a -- perhaps -- more mature audience. In short, discovering Please Save my Earth through this DVD might be a nice experience, but it defenitly isn't what the real story is about. It doesn't end like this. There is much more to Please Save my Earth than this weak censored version of the animated series.
Rating: Summary: One Of My Favorite Anime! Review: Please Save My eath the third tapes and last one of the serie titled (Moment's Memory) is a Beautiful anime, so full a little cute details, the art in this animation is great so professional and lovely. The story is very good but it have some unanswer questions. I don't know how many time I saw it and still love it. The voice dub in english of the characters are great, they fit them perfectly. If you never saw japanese animation before try this one you would love it, it's one of the best anime ever!
Rating: Summary: A 'smart' anime series that is a must get! Review: Reincarnation is the central theme behind the anime series 'Please Save My Earth.' Based on a popular Japanese manga series of the same title by Saki Hiwatari, 'Please Save My Earth' is a love story between sixteen-year-old Alice and her rowdy neighbor, seven-year-old Rin. The differences between their ages set the stage for the complex events that take place during the course of the story. Alice and Rin are two of seven reincarnates of alien scientists sent from their homeworld to study the Earth in every aspect - its natural history and the history of its inhabitants. Without revealing too much of the plot - for it will be too complicated to explain in under 1000 words, this OAV series is considered by many to be one of the greatest shoujo anime series ever. The animation is top-notch - fluid, consistent with beautiful and expressive character designs. The music soundtrack is the mastermind of Hajime Mizoguchi, with subtle synthetics and chamber strings, creates an ethereal environment that compliments the series rather instinctively. Yoko Kanno, composer genius, composed the hauntingly beautiful ending theme of the series. No other pair of composers is recognized more than Mizoguchi and Kanno. Even with the somewhat disappointing rushed ending of the series, 'Please Save My Earth' manages to transcend any cliche that plague many anime series. This anime series belongs on everyone's DVD collection. Don't hesitate to buy this DVD!
Rating: 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.
Rating: 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!
