Synopsis

The day after an apparent alien invasion of Tokyo is repelled by a mysterious being, middle schooler Murata Hajime discovers that his small town holds a strange secret when he witnesses transfer student Subaru Muryou fight another student using psychic powers. Since Hajime himself is relatively new to his town, he has been unaware that the leading families have been protecting the earth from alien invasion for centuries by using the ability of "Shingu," and that the current members of the middle school student council are also the chosen guardians of this generation. He also begins to discover that many of the town's residents are in fact intergalactic diplomats. Hajime is drawn futher into this open secret as his friendship with Muryou and the "chosen" teenagers -- especially tomboy Moriyama Nayuta -- deepens and as he begins to discover that he has a role to play in Earth's future. from ann

An incredibly underrated series that was considered to be another copy of Evangelion. Shingu was actually origionally released to be 40+ episodes, but since the following seemed to be small the company that origionally released it cut it down to only 26 (which explains how the ending felt slightly rushed, but it still made me wanting more).

Story:
The story development had to be my favorite part about it, it was told by the veiwpoint of Hajime who befriends a new kid at school who's a little more than what he bargined for. At first I thought it was going to be the average superficial plot, read more

Shingu is one of those animes that comes along rarely that does what it intends to do and does it well. Shingu tells an interesting story and does it in a way that's enjoyable to watch, and somehow relaxing. Except for a few scenes Shingu doesn't resort to cheap tricks to suck the viewer in to the story nor does it try to play with the viewers emotions. It just tells a story, and not too bad a story at that.

Shingu has a wonderful old school feel to it, from the anthem solo at the opening to the wonderful jazz arrangement by Yuji Oono at read more

Recommendations

Both "The World of Narue" and "Shingu: Secret of the Stellar Wars" are upbeat, postive sci-fi/slice of life anime series. Both are very happy series, light hearted, slow paced, and upbeat, and dignified. Both series deal with aliens who look like normal human beings, and have serious stories, but are cute and never dark or grimmy. Neither series are action packed, exiting, or edge-of-your seat rivetting, but they are instead slower paced shows that deal with normal people (school aged kids) in a sci-fi setting. Both series remember that their main characters are kids, unlike many other anime shows. Both shows have fight scenes and a little action, but they are mostly slice of life, dramas that are very calm.Both "Narue" and "Shingu" were dubbed in NYC, and use a few of the same actors. Both series have similar coloring and shading in their animation/artwork as well (lots of blues, greens, and greys).

There are a few differences. For example "Shingu" is set in the distant future, while "Narue" is either present time, or very close to it. "Narue" is also a love story, with lots of romance, which is not the main focus of "Shingu". "Shingu" also has some mecha elements in the back-drop, which are not present int "Narue".

They are very similar but not in a way you'd expect at first. The more obvious comparison is that both are sci-fi and upbeat.
