I was looking on a website and it mentioned that in addition to the 6 episodes of Please Save My Earth, there was also a 99 minute movie made. Do you think it will ever come out over here in the states? I dunno, I felt kinda rushed during the last episode and maybe the movie would fill in some gaps. Actually, I wish they would have just made more episodes, but what can you do? Wink

I don't know about a movie, but the reason why it was rushed was that the manga it's based off of is really long. It's another case of trying to cram too much manga into a small OVA series. It's a shame 'cause it's a really great OVA. I remember waiting for each tape to come out from VIZ back in the day.

I figured it was something silly like that for the rushed ending. Didn't I see that someone was releasing PSME graphic novels in a couple of months? Smile

Well, the movie I think was just a summary of the 6 episodes anyway, so I guess it's no big deal if it doesn't come to the states.

The movie is basically the OVA episodes edited together with some minor changes.

Viz is releasing the Manga on October 22. I've read that the movie adds a bit at the end that gives it more narrative closure, but I haven't seen it.

I like the end of the series; it's got a sort of poetic, open-ended resolution that feels more like life to me. Same reason I didn't feel let down by Eva, I guess.
