Sixth Grade Sucks. Especially When You Have to Fight Aliens
Yuri is totally bummed. She just started 6th grade and has been elected to capture and eliminate the aliens that are constantly invading the school…maybe this job wouldn't be too bad, except it includes wearing gross symbiotic alien helmets that survive by eating the waste material produced from its host body. Yuck! Yuri may be scared of her new position, but she isn't alone. To help her is the energetic Kasumi and the serious Kumi who both volunteered for their positions in this strange alien party. But why would the school send 6th graders to fight the alien menace? And will their Borgs be enough to help them win?!
Written by Sadayuki Murai (Perfect Blue, Durarara!!, Steamboy) and directed by Yasuhiro Irie (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood), Alien Nine's uniquely gleeful approach to horror and action captivated fans and critics alike. The OVA was notably produced by Tarō Maki, whose prolific career included seminal titles such as Tokyo Godfathers and Millennium Actress.
Now available in HD for the very first time, Alien Nine is ready to be discovered by a whole new generation. Also features a new AstroRes restoration and upscale.
