This 2006 anime is based on an illustrated story by Shigeru Komatsuzaki which was serialized between 1948 and 1951.

I like the concept and it being very very reminiscent of 1950s sci fi like war of the worlds and Buck Rodgers. The anime just oozes those two in particular. You can tell this was heavily inspired by those types of movies and series.
Its a very simple anime as in Aliens invade earth you have a group of humans trying to stop them. Its not really any thing original but it flows pretty well and isnt dragged out in a way you wish it would go away. Its 6 episodes at 40 minutes a pop. The Characters are also very much part of ... |
