This rock 'n' roll anime combines aliens with the pains of adolescence. 12 year-old Naota's brother has just left Japan for the US to play baseball. Before long, two girls are vying for his attention--his brother's girlfriend and Haruhara Haruko, who claims to be an alien. Then he meets 17 year-old Mammimi, who is obsessed with a violent video game and has visions of a black winged deity. But what does this all mean? Later on Naota finds himself being tagged to play the lead in the school production of PUSS AND BOOTS by class president Ninamori, whose reasons for choosing him have little to do with acting ability. In the meantime Naota’s patience is starting to wear thin when Haruko takes it upon herself to teach him baseball. He then reluctantly continues to fight with his father over Haruko, who, unfortunately for them, has her eye on a roguish space pirate. Animation for this highly original anime is by Production I.G., the team responsible for GHOST IN THE SHELL.
