The story is basically this: Haruko an alien comes from outer space and is searching for a being named atomsk (who is super powerful). She comes to earth and settles in a town where atmosk is being held. Thats basically it. There are also side stories about the intergalactic association in the town that is disguised as a factory in which breeds a conflict between another association. Essentially the first line is more important. Now Haruko for some reason needs the main protagonist Naota in order to do so (this is for you to find out). There are many little stories clumped in this show but I think one should just focus on what Haruko wants, needs for it is the most interesting story arc.
The art is fantastic, this era of gainax produced such great art the colors are so well done and the overall design was unique and had character I LOVE IT. The sound was also great.
The characters are fantastic and are entertaining to watch. Each have their own problems and they are all shown within this small 6 episode window. Each character is completely different from one another and that's what we need more of nowadays in anime.
I enjoyed the living shit out of this show, i do a lot of literature in my English class, so i had a really fun time looking at the ideology and symbolism etched in the show.
Overall, this is one of my favorite anime. It is unique, innovative and most importantly the ending rocks (but i wont spoil it for you ;) )
