Kono Danshi, Uchuujin to Tatakaemasu.

All hope seems lost when the world is suddenly invaded by aliens. Earth's only defense is a small three-person team known as the Special Counter-Aliens Task Force, consisting of an anonymous director, the tyrannical Shiro, and the easygoing Arikawa.

The luck of the Task Force improves when Arikawa finds a teenage boy lying alone on a hill. The boy, Kakashi, is humanity's only hope—he has power previously unbeknownst capable of defeating the aliens! However, without any memories and with no knowledge on how to use his power, Kakashi is left clinging to Arikawa and Shiro as well as the only remnant of his previous life: his broken cellphone.

Kakashi is conflicted by the fears and emotions clouding his mind and he calls his own motivations into question. Can he overcome his doubts and internal struggles and save the world?

If you want an anime about aliens.. this isn't for you. Looking for something deeper?
Yes, you can try it if you know how to think outside the box.



When you read this animes plot, it says it's about a boy who fighting aliens.
But in realty - it isn't.
The anime uses aliens as a symbolism to tell about inner struggles of a boy.
Pretty cool to watch and put all the pieces together.

...

It was enjoyable to watch it.
Made me think.
I hope you will see past the aliens and get the bigger picture. And that this review helped you decide for watching.

This anime is amazing, if you're into sort of an artsy/comic animation style then this is for you.

Let's talk about the art first. The art is outstanding, not everyones cup of tea but it's defiantly mine, it's a unique art style that I don't see in much anime's. It's has a comic feel to it and the way the characters move defiantly fits the art style. The colours are bright and amazing and the character design is something that I love. I rarely see anime's with this art style and I really would love to see more anime's with it in the future.

The plot ... is good, it's quite a basic plot, I can really relate to the main character, Kakashi, and how he feels alone in the world. Brought some tears to my eyes which is quite hard for an anime to do that as I can't really show that much emotions. I felt what Kakashi was feeling and how he felt. The plot also allows some comedy here and there which is nice to see, I laughed a couple of times. Also it is quite short, only 30 minutes but it packs a good short plot which is quite easy to follow and not complicated.

On the shounen ai part, I'd have to say its very subtle, not too flashy or noticeable. its quite heartwarming and nice to see a shounen ai anime which doesn't involve mature stuff. I found it cute and nice to see the characters bond.

I do highly recommend if you love sweet heartwarming anime's and a comic style animation. This is a really good anime to me and is going on one of the best anime's I've seen so far.

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.
