Description:
Get ready for this shocking and funny digital animation about adolescence, expectations, and alien intrigue! Naota is tired of being harassed to star in the school play, Puss and Boots, by obnoxious class president Ninamori, who seems to have more personal reasons for wanting him in the play. Then, tempers flare as Haruko presumes to take Naota under her wing and teach him a thing or two about baseball.

Episode 3:Marquis de Carabas
With a robot and alien at home, Naota tries to at least have a normal school life. The class is putting on "Puss 'n Boots" and Naota's playing the cat. And if that's not embarrassing enough, he's also sprouted cat ears. Meanwhile, class president Ninamori's been chosen to play the lead. And she's bossing Naota around, insisting he attends rehearsals. But behind the tough exterior, Ninamori's got her own troubles. Her father, the mayor, is involved in a scandal, and her parents might be getting a divorce... And of course, there's got to be another robot!

Episode 4: Full Swing
Though he's always carried around his brother's bat, Naota's never hit anything. Well, now that his brother's gone, it's Naota's turn to prove his worth. But the local baseball team doesn't seem to be doing so well. And what is Haruko doing playing for the other side? Dad's been acting strange lately, as well. It all ends in a break down. But not before an unidentified flying object comes to town. The invading aliens have arrived. Looks like Naota's really gonna have to hit this one out of the park... and the town.

Spoken Languages: English, Japanese, English Subtitles.
