Rating. 13+

STORY.

Every year a alien party is selected to protect the school from aliens. This year three girls have been elected one of them is Yuri. Each girl gets a alien symbiont assigned to them which will help them to capture the aliens. Unfortunately Yuri is terrified of aliens and the thought of hunting them repulses her and fills her with dread. But she has to overcome her dislike of them and work with her symbiont as more and more aliens land near school. Not only that but they are also getting more and more dangerous.

CHARACTERS.

Yuri. A young girl who is elected, against her wishes, by her class-mates to protect the school from aliens.

Miyu. She is in Yuri's class and her best friend. Yuri often confides in her.

Kasumi. She is also a member of the alien party. She has no fear of aliens what so ever and is often the first to go after the aliens.

Kumi. She is the third member of the alien party. She is the most responsible of the three hunters and she tries to take charge and work as a team.

Megumi. She is the teacher in charge of the alien party.

Borgs. These are symbiotic aliens used by the alien party. They are worn on the head as a helmet and can communicate with their hosts. They also protect their hosts from attacks.

ART & MUSIC.

Both the art (5/5) and music (5/5) are excellent. Nope...the art and music aren't the things that let this anime down. All the blame goes to the story.

VOICE ACTING

The Japanese acting was great as usual (5/5). I didn't see the English dub so i have no idea how good or bad it was.

Personal note. Once again a anime with a lot of potential that they managed to screw up. Not only did they leave the story unfinished the lead character truly annoying. There is no end to her constand whining and crying. I truly hope that the manga is better according to the commercial on the DVD it continous after the point where the anime stopt.

If you have any questions please let me know. Also tips and comments about how i can make this sort of blog better are more than welcome.
