FREE: Alien Nine NEW

The listing, Alien Nine NEW has ended.

Yuri Otani, the 6th grade heroine of this 2001 OVA, is elected by her class to be their "alien fighter:" With Kasumi and Kumi, she tracks down weird beasties that appear at their elementary school. The girls, who look like bobblehead dolls with no nose, wear a "symbiotic alien borg"--a sort of winged frog--on their heads into battle. Yuri spends all four episodes of the series sniveling about how scared she is, how she doesn't want to deal with aliens, etc. Irritating as Yuri is, the viewer may pity her, because she's stuck in a story that makes no sense whatsoever. Sometimes the girls destroy the aliens with drill-like tentacles the borgs sprout; sometimes they keep them penned up at school. The disc is loaded with extras, none of which make anything any clearer. (Rated 13 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, nudity, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

In the not-too-distant future, alien invasion is a daily occurrence. Gross, slimy aliens are everywhere, particularly in elementary schools. Someone has to save the day, so Yuri and her 6th grade classmates are elected for this most popular assignment. Can this trio of cute schoolgirls defeat terrifying creatures from outer space?
