Synopsis

Soon after entering middle school, Yuri Otani is coerced into joining the "Alien Party," a single-minded group with one goal: capture any alien attempting to enter school grounds. Terrified of aliens her entire life, Otani is anything but thrilled, and to make matters worse, her kit includes a "Borg"—an alien-like creature tasked with ensuring her safety. Despite this, she finds solace in her two partners: the independent and reliable Kumi Kawamura, and the smart and energetic Kasumi Tomine.

As the Alien Party works to fend off extraterrestrial threats, will their roller blades and lacrosse sticks be enough to overcome the dire challenges ahead, or will they succumb to fear and suffer the grim consequences of defeat?

Spoiler free and short review!
I cannot understate how much this broke my heart. Alien 9 caught me off guard, I read the concept and went into it thinking that it'd be a short but quirky and fun adventure of girls fighting aliens and having to balance it with school life! Nope! Not at all!

Alien 9 is a harrowing story about growing up, the fear of being alone, and I'm sure a plethora of other messages and metaphors I was unable to pick up on. The premise seems simple, three girls from middle school are chosen by their classes to fight off alien invaders that come ...

Mixed Feelings
Alien 9 is about three girls beating up aliens. One of them hates the job, one of them does it because the other option was worse, and one of them is raring to go. There's a copious amount of gore, blood, and mental breakdowns. So yeah, this show is not all sunshine and lollipops.

From the first scene, Yuri (the first girl I talked about) will whine about not wanting to be the one designated to beat up aliens in her class. In the next scene she will complain and whine to her best friend about how she's unqualified for the job, and that she doesn't ...

I personally, and I believe most folks coming across this today, first discovered this show as a comparison to Madoka Magica, which happens to be one of my favourite anime. Looking a bit more upon it, I saw tags on anidb such as "Rotten World", "Deconstruction", "Tone Changes", "Gore", "Horror", and "Angst". That was enough to get me hooked.

Alas, this anime was not what I was advertised. Which would be fine if the plot was decent, but it's not.
If I had to keep this short and simple, I would say that Alien 9 has a lot of ideas that could've been great but execute them ...
