This anime has pretty much everything that I like to see in a show...cute aliens in lingerie. Okay, just kidding... DearS has a very Happy Lesson feel to it, with most of the character design and animation looking very familiar. The story so far has been very interesting, and the characters are all very well voiced by a high quality seiyuu cast. The animation is very good, with the same Happy Lesson tendency for the male lead character to have over-exaggerated facial expressions.
Aside from the extreme Chobitsiness, this on the first episode of DearS it was very well done. The music was excellent, the animation smooth, and I really liked the character design. It was actually pretty hilarious, even though a couple of the scenarios were exactly like the ones in Chobits.

Let's start talking about the story, a spaceship with 150 aliens has crashed on earth, they are well received by the japanese goverment and the aliens are distributed through the japan to learn the culture, absorb knowledge and know how to behave, ok first of all you might remember Chobits, but... don't hold your hopes that high, the main character is a pain in the ass, sometimes i think that japanese anime directors wanna sell that all teenagers are idiots with absolutely no desire for the oposite sex( Like a hot teacher cosplaying in the classroom and a lot of idiots looking through the window admiring the hair of a Dear... come on )...
The main Dear Ren, posted as a defective one, and Myu, the Dear "without a job", because her masters want to do everything in the house are the only "en…

This is my first review here guys but I hope many of you will still find it helpful!
DearS is an anime very alike Chobits! There are some differences between the 2 but you will be able to find lots of similarities. I still enjoyed this series a lot and I feel like this is a really nice anime to watch if you really don't know what to watch or your just looking for something really lighthearted.
Story: (8)
DearS begins with a group of aliens called the DearS whom crash on to earth and are forced to stay. The DearS have a goal in which they must find a master and must fulfill all of the masters wishes. Okay, so I personally don't like the idea of being slaves in which all of the DearS believe they should be but throughout the series many of the characters try and get them to start thinking…

-Disclaimer: I am NOT a PROFESIONAL reviewer I’m only a anime fan trying to give feed back to other anime fans with that said one to the review-
Ok first I just want to point out that yes I liked this anime it was my first harem and its what made me like them so I’m not here to bash it.
I don’t understand why so many people hate this the story was a 6 it wasn’t that great I will say that but I absolutely loved the characters were funny and enjoyable to watch the relationships were a bit strange I didn’t like that the DearS came to earth only to serve humans but other then that this is truly an enjoyable anime and I would recommend this to anyone if you love funny and kinda strange harem anime
Last thing the animation and character design is not the best but its also not that bad I know…

DearS has got to be one of these anime that was so close to go into my drop list though I haven't dropped any anime I've been watching so far. (Well, no matter how bad or boring an anime might be, I will watch it entirely... well that's my policy).
If I remember, it was after watching "Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?" that I started watching DearS because I was totally in a Harem mood but it was such a let-down that I had to encourage myself to watch each episode. The reason why I didn't enjoy DearS are as follows:
Art:
I’m perfectly aware that the anime is pretty old but if I were to compare it with older anime such as “Maison Ikkoku” or “Sailor Moon” which are even older there is a huge difference. The art for DearS is undeniably the worst one compared to these two. The bodies of both male…

OK, well before i get too into this, i want to say that I read the ENTIRE DearS Manga, and i got so into it that i actually bought all 8 volumes, even though i was in highschool at the time and didn't have much money, because the story IN THE MANGA Drew me right in.
But as for the anime adaptation....it was extremely disappointing.
My biggest issue is with the story, so i will go into that last because there are some good points to ponder before we get to the really bad stuff.
First of all, the english dub, really wasn't bad, in fact, it's one of the few anime that i actually prefer dubbed, the dub is good...most of the time, there are some lines that are really monotone when they needed more emphasis (Usually on Takeya and Nenekos parts) , but over all, it wasn't bad. The animation...w…

DearS is proof, that reading reviews before jumping into a series is a good habit to have. DearS is pretty much generally regarded as "that awful Chobits ripoff" so I went into it with pretty low expectations. I wasn't disappointed.
So, a space ship crash-lands just off the coast of Japan, with 150 humanoid aliens on board. Oh, and they all look like super hot high-schoolers with supernatural abilities and a weirdly submissive nature. (Yep, this means EXACTLY what you think.) The ship is FUBAR, so they are stuck on Earth, but that's no problem, since the humans welcome them with open arms, naturally. I mean, smoking hot aliens with inexplicable intelligence and magical powers (and a history of abuse and slavery...oops, spoilers) cannot possibly be dangerous, right? RIGHT?
Anyway, the sto…

i hate unreasonably stupid main charater....there is a limit for stupidity but in this show its just too much....the MC has a beautiful alien who wants to be his slave n will do anything he says n what does he do? he keeps yelling the whole series...what kind of an idiot made this series?.......
95% of the anime's main character(male) really irritates me coz they r looser, idiot, uncool, stupid...even if they r surrounded by girl they will just act stupid unreasonably....it just makes my blood boil...the main character sud be cool n take advantage of the situation but no they have to act all innoccent and retarded...who the fuck made such character? even if the stories are great if the main guy is like what i told above that it really pulls down the show

You know when you're making a puzzle, and then when the picture begins to make sense ... you realize the box is missing a few pieces?
Well... let's say this "puzzle" has 1000 pieces, but you're only given like 300.
That was the feeling this particular series gave me when i finished watching it.
Story: 5
I give it such a low score, not because it's bad, I mean, the parent story seems awesome, but this adaptation, is just plain incomplete - it stopped in the 2nd or 3rd volume of an 8 volume manga so.... - and filled with tons of fan service.
It starts really promisingly.
Aliens (DearS) come from space, and turn out not only to be amicable (and skilled in languages) , but to be in the most part cute humanoid girls, with weird collars, and some huge hairdos. Takeya (main guy) finds one(Ren…

This review is coming from someone who goes gaga over cutesy anime with moe characters. I figured DearS would be a little cheesy, but wanted to give it a chance since the character designs were so cute. It was good to have low standards from the beginning.
The story is a little bit recycled, but nothing criminal. You have a beautiful girl with no memories that gets put into the care of an uninterested male lead (i.e. Chobits) and you watch a handful of slice-of-life-esq episodes with plenty of fanservice before finding out the ulterior plot.
The art in this series had so much potential. The manga's art style is painfully cute, and I just love the character designs. Unfortunately, it has some of the cheapest animation I've ever seen. They re-use scenes and animation, everything looks ru…

Takeya Ikuhara was a normal high school boy. He is one of the few having no interest in a space ship that had crashed over a year ago. With Female passengers called DearS. One day he happens upon a naked shivering girl. At first he thought she was just a girl, but then realized she was actually one of the aliens from the ship crash. He takes her home reluctantly. He'd seen one too many sci-fi movies and constantly feared she was going to brain wash him. The next day, he sets her in a closet to hide while he went to school and she chose that as her room. Takeya does his best to help the girl called Ren. Who unlike other DearS can't speak much at first. It turns out that she is in actually malfunctioning and is being hunted down by their leader. Takeya eventually begins to learn more about D…

DearS is a very good anime, in fact it's a great anime. I would have given it a 10 if it wasn't for the unbelievably annoying main character - Takeya. But more of that later, first the story.
Yes, so DearS starts out in a pretty weird way. A humongous alien spaceship (probably the size of titanic) lands on the shores of Japan. However war doesn't break out, mad scientists don't attempt to capture said aliens and famous american 3-leter agencies (FBI, CIA etc) are nowhere to be seen. In fact, the aliens turn out to be young hot women and the entire world welcomes them with open arms. Before you know it the aliens are called "dears" and make friends with the humans.
Then it gets slightly weirder. One of the aliens is being transported through a town in some kind of a container. The contai…

ok, i am gonna admit this now, i LOVE!!! this show. it was one of the first animes i watched and i enjoyed it so much that i watched the whole thing several more times after that. even though the show only goes up to chapter 25 of the manga they did a good job with the ending and i think it was just fine that they ended there, even though that meant that you dont get to learn much about the dears society in the show and that there was a lot in the anime that you didnt get to experience.
i gave the high marks on story based on the manga, same with the art and charector marks because the charectors didnt get to be fully developed in the show. however, the way in which the ending of the show is done is perfectly fine since it allows for the imagination to put takeya and ren living together…

i thought that dearS was a REALLY good anime and maybe its just because of my male intuition but still well back to the topic anyway the reason its good is because have you every heard any jokes about blondes? of coarse you have so the same concept works here one one guy is walking home and some chick jumps from the bushes and is naked on top of that but that guy is afraid of alians and is defenceive about her and everything about here and her kind but i thought that is a good romance ecchi and harum combined and for any other guys who like almost complete boobies and down there 0_o but what ever i reccomend this anime

There's not a whole lot I can say about DearS except "Stay Away!" It has been viewed by many as a Chobits rip off. While Chobits had some areas that saved it from the trash bin, this title has none. From the very opening animation which features two of the main female characters embracing unclothed to the unresolved end, DearS screams it's inappropriate nature. I view a number of these titles to be able to relate just how inappropriate they truly are. Pleased be warned that while the character designs and story overview look really good and may draw one to a purchase, this title is really bad.

DearS is a combination of a failed Chobits clone (lacking any of the warmth that made that series so endearing) and, depending on your gender, offensive pro-slave rubbish. It's also uneventful, lacking a story and instead containing the same perverted nonsense you've seen before already until the episode count reaches 12-13.
To start with, the premise is beyond dumb. A UFO crashes into Japan, 150 aliens - who happen to be submissive hotties - emerge, and they're welcomed by the world. Because humans are, as we all know, kind and understanding creatures by nature, no attempts were made to capture and experiment on the aliens. It's the sort of plot element that would only work in a hentai. Or Melody of Oblivion.
...Oh, yes, hentai material. Have I covered the part where DearS all wear dog…

This was a decent series, it's much like Chobits (if you've seen it) so if you enjoyed Chobits then I would recommend this series if have a few hours to kill.
It's not as intense and serious as Chobits was but it will keep you entertained. The characters are lovable non the less. The character relationship between male and female protagonist really keeps the series alive, but due to a rush story line it really kills much potential for a really great drama that it could of been.
If your looking for some ecchi, hilarious situations between guys and girls and a good slice of life adaptation then this series is worth a few hours of your life.

It's a cute little short series animé, similar to Chobits from what I've seen of Chobits, but hey, if you like that sort of thing, DearS does it pretty well. Some of the fanservicey stuff in this is SO over-the-top it's past the point of annoying and more towards the point of amusing, because I don't think they took themselves completely seriously.
So, who should watch this? If you want a relatively light-hearted plot with some situational comedy, sort of your typical high school thing and a fair bit of cuteness and a mild bit of seriousness, this isn't a bad choice. If you're up for something with lots of depth, void of the typical animé tropes, you probably won't like it.
The one thing that irritated me a little is that it ended a little abruptly. Something a lot of animé tends to do,…

So first this anime isn't anything new and unique,all seen.It also resembles Chobits.They're storyline is really similar.But if you're looking for some lite-hearted romance including some ecchi scenes that this just the right anime.Don't expect too much.
Story
It's centered around high school boy living alone.One day he picks up a beautiful alien girl at first he doesn't seem to care about her too much but then late in the series there show up evil people who are trying find her *and take her away* than he sees his true feelings for her and tries to protect her by all means. So it's a story of them living together,going to school teaching her normal things like cooking,reading,speaking.And she is some kind of slave.All the aliens in the anime are slaves.So she threats the main characters…
