AniWorthAlien Stage
Introduction
Humans once lived like Earth was the center of the universe. Some people embraced religion and believed that God would deliver them from suffering. After humanity was enslaved by aliens, no one spoke of God any longer.
Now the grim truth is that humans are mere property of aliens. Recently, entering pet humans into the entertainment industry has become popular, and the biggest, most thrilling spectacle is known as Alien Stage. In this reality singing competition, alien sponsors flaunt their investments, while human contestants must battle to survive. No matter the relationship between opponents—whether it is love, hate, or something more extreme—only one victor can emerge each round.

Let me be honest here. This is a series that is made up of music videos and some of them being short animations for context and world building. What I saw is a basic story of the earth being enslaved and being used as entertainment through music production. The characters are all emotionally damaged individuals due to their circumstances and make bad choices because of it.
Personally I feel that it is a shallow story that really isn’t too deep and the songs are pretty good. But there is a webcomic that I have no knowledge about and it can possibly change my opinion of it if I read it.
But based purely on the animated media of it, I feel that it is an incomplete story that honestly feels too ambitious with so little time to flesh anything out. I don’t think it’s a waste of time because…

Alien Stage is a bit of a tricky work to review since it's more of a multimedia project, but the music videos alone were more than strong enough to earn a recommendation. The well-worn setting and simple, yet high-stakes plot make for an intensely dramatic stage on which its assortment of characters compete for survival as they pursue their own interpretations of human connection, regardless of where said interpretation lands on the moral compass, and watching how each character’s psyche either fortifies or unravels over the course of the series was tremendously gripping, albeit very brief. There’s only about 45 minutes of content total, but it manages to be extremely efficient at conveying enough information to build up a surprisingly fleshed-out world, though I did end up a bit confused…

Alien stage is a good web show. It has its flaws, yeah, but it’s still a fun romp with good music and amazing visuals.
The series exists in the form of music videos, comics and very limited pages of text. It is about (pet) humans who are in a singing competition where there can be only one survivor. The driving force of the project is the well rounded cast of characters that, with the combination of punchy writing, art and music, can make stellar impressions with the little screentime they get.
The piece uses its limited time well in most cases, not delving too deeply into the lore but showing bits and pieces of alien culture and how it affec…

I hate it here, 10/10 do not watch, this is for your own good
Bur in all seriousness, the music is addicting, the art is breathtaking, the storyline is beautifully done (despite some flaws, some characters are underutilized) especially the main cp Mizisua, i love how they write Sua as a character
However this story is not just mv on ytb, it's consist of many smaller comics and patreon post so it can be difficult for newcomer to catchup (i also consider the wait time between each mv an extremely important experience in watching alien stage so big bummer for the newcomers)

Well, it's over now.
This little web series had such a huge impact, you couldn't go anywhere without seeing it, what an accomplishment. But was it worth it, did it live up to what it was seen as? Absolutely. Alien Stage was a series that only got better as it went on. The animation improved. The songs got more elaborate. The character moments later on only improved and recontextualized the previous ones. And the ending... oh the ending.
I won't say much more because the series is very short and absolutely worth your time. Immerse yourself in this tragic yaoi/yuri experience and see why everyone is talking about it. It's not that long and you're sure to enjoy it.
