Synopsis

Since the beginning of Earth's history, angels from the planet Eden have been carefully monitoring the behavior of its inhabitants, whom they call "Earthians." Chihaya and Kagetsuya are two agents sent from Eden to assess the positive and negative aspects of the Earthians' nature. Despite the orders Chihaya was given by his home planet, he frequently ends up entangled in Earthian affairs, much to Kagetsuya's annoyance. Meanwhile, as Chihaya tries to understand the origin of his strange black wings, he uncovers one mystery after another.

I don't get the bad reviews. Maybe it's because my expectations are low for someone who would find and watch this nowadays. I just stumbled upon it with not much care. Most of them are pointing out common, detrimental flaws in yaoi, such as problems with role tropes and characterization of women, which I'm already used to. I too hope to see them improved upon.

I didn't mind the yaoi because I saw the tag. The romance part is pretty downplayed, which I like because there is less dumb drama. That's what I like about old anime. None of the cliche modern romance "You betrayed me!" ...

They should've just not called it a shounen-ai and cut that one scene because it does nothing for the anime but throw you for a ...

“Earthian” is a whole lot of nothing. This 4-episode OVA is simultaneously both episodic and not. It acts like it has an overarching plot, but the story just meanders around without arriving at a destination. “Earthian” leaves viewers with a load of questions. Who are these people, and what are they doing? Why are they doing it? Why build a bio-android with a nuclear heart? Why does the record company act like a criminal organization? Why make a bio-engineered angel hybrid robot to destroy the world? Why have satellites with killer laser beams? Just why?

From what little that can be gathered about the plot, it ...
