Zen Question: When you obviously run out of budget, is if better to just cut your losses and leave the anime incomplete, or would you rather just animate the rest of the show with a significantly lower budget? Basically, should an anime be a "Please Save My Earth", or should it be an "Uzumaki"?
This show was actually really good. It had great characters. The show was a healthy mix of slice of life and sci-fi. The premise is that there were 7 scientists on the moon. They reincarnated as 7 students on Earth, and they're all having dreams of their past life on the Moon. The show has interesting and complex characters who have a similar goal of looking after the Earth, but they each have their own feelings and dynamics with each other.
It's a drama, it's a tragedy, it has fights, it has ro…

Initially I was looking for reference poses to draw, for some reason I found pictures of 2 characters from this anime, namely Issei and Shusuran. At first I thought this was an ordinary old anime with a story that wasn't good, but it turns out that after episode 2 the story got even more interesting. The characters' personalities are very unique, making me curious about their respective stories in their previous lives. Actually the story is quite predictable, but if we just watch the anime we don't know what ending Shion will achieve in Rin's body at the moment.
If only this anime could be re-adapted with today's animation technology, I would really watch it with my friends hahaha
Really a recommendation to watch, even though it's only 6 episodes and I really want to read the comic hahah…

-----------Spoiler Free Review-----------
For anyone planning to watch this anime, a disclaimer is to be made. Please Save My Earth does not have an ending. The final scene in the 6th episode is a sneak peak of compilation of events that happen in the manga. Basically, Please Save My Earth has a "go read the manga" ending.
Despite such a lackluster ending, you must be wondering why still a 10/10 review? Because this series is a phenomenal piece of work. It an outstanding performance of animation, music and story, and a true testament to what anime in the 90's really was.
Any avid watcher of anime should have experienced the severe redundancy that has plagued anime since the 2000s. Every popular anime has the same tropes, the same melodrama, that same structure, and the same narrative t…

Why you should watch Boku no Chikyuu wo Mamotte (Please Save My Earth) anime? / Zašto pogledati Boku no Chikyuu wo Mamotte (Please Save My Earth) anime?
English language: This is one of the best anime I’ve watched. Personally, I didn’t expect anything special when I read the summary. Since it had 6 episodes I decided to watch it because I have another anime more that I watched.
The story is initially about Alice Sakaguchi who, due to a misunderstanding, accidentally finds out that her classmates Jinpachi and Issei constantly have common dreams that are recurring dreams about a group of lunar-based scientists observing the Earth. When Alice has one of the "moon dreams", she will try to find other scientists together with Jinpachi and Issei because they are all reincarnations of those scie…

Boku no Chikyuu wo Mamotte, or Please Save My Earth, has a very compelling plot with an average execution. Like many other series from the 1990s, the atmosphere is there, but the series is glued together by some very good scenes, followed by monotonous drama. Despite my criticism, I think Please Save My Earth is worth watching. It was a very important series to me when I was younger.
• The story is about a group of alien scientists observing Earth from a moon-base before being able to visit the planet. Tragically, a deadly disease kills all of them on the space station before any of them are able to fulfill their dreams of venturing to Earth, but because their desire was so strong, all of them are reincarnated into earthlings.
• The characters all have reoccurring dreams of being their…

Non Spoilery Review:
Story:
Gripping from the beginning and has a lot of potential. There is a lot of mystery to the characters and how they are connected which draws you in. I personally couldn't stop myself from watching the next episode. However the finale will not give you a satisfying conclusion to the story. The story is still interesting and unique enough to watch if you are looking for something to pass the time.
Art:
The art style would be considered dated given it's release back in the 90's, but don't let that put you off. The overall aesthetic is beautifully done and the animation is very expressive.
Overall:
Slice of Life with a healthy dose of Sci Fi is what you get with this show. I think it's only drawback is that it was perhaps to short to really have the conclusion…

Starting off with the simple, face value stuff: The art is standard to it's era. There's nothing separating this anime style from most of the others in the 90s. The sound was sub-standard. The voice mics seemed regular, but the some sound effects were missing in "lesser" scenes and some of the sounds effects were lackluster in more "epic" scenes.
The story is terribly boring. With a title like "Please Save My Earth" and knowing it was about people being reincarnated I originally thought there was a threat that killed the last people, and they were purposefully reincarnated to address the threat. It turns it that it's a very unnecessarily tragic-weird slice of life anime. There's no threat outside of the self/ destructiveness of the main characters. And then, for all they went through emot…

About a year ago, I was shopping for books at a local secondhand store when I found what looked like a bargain: a bin of anime DVDs for 15$. When I took them home, I watched and most of them weren't too good - until I watched Please Save My Earth. It blew me away in a way that I haven't been since I first discovered subtitled anime. I cannot believe that something that good happened to be in a bargain bin.
Story: The basic premise of PSME is the tragedy of seven reincarnated researchers. Originally members of a scientifically advanced civilization, they were tasked to observe the earth from a base on the moon. The specific focus of the plot is how the characters interact once the tragic events which lead to their deaths come to light. A very compelling plot follows, combining elements of…

Please Save My Earth is a very gentle yet tragic exploration of the power of destiny and personal struggle. While there is some outstanding action scenes towards the end of the 6 episode OAV, the series revolves around the development and destruction of the main characters. The plot itself is intermingled with a metaphysical look at the deceptive appearance of innocence and the desperate and destructive poison of love. While some may find the plot slow-moving, to others (more accustomed to shoujo anime) the story is very intense and involves very tragic and touching descriptions of personal dreams and even pride.
Throughout the series there is an environmental sub-theme. I find myself wishing that the anime creators had included more of this element, as there was lots of content to support…
