story

The story of "Please Save My Earth" begins with the meeting of Sakaguchi Ariko and Kobayashi Wan. Ariko has a special ability to sense the feelings of plants, and this ability becomes an important element of the story. When she accidentally pushes Wan off the balcony, Wan awakens memories of his past life, and the story unfolds at a rapid pace.

The story centers around the themes of reincarnation and memory. Rin awakens to the memories of her past life, which are those of scientists working at a moon base, struggling to protect the future of the Earth. These memories reunite in modern-day Japan, and her relationship with Ariko and other characters deepens.

cast

The cast includes many voice actors who are still active today, such as Shiratori Yuri, Touma Yumi, and Shinohara Emi. In particular, Shiratori Yuri, who plays Sakaguchi Ariko, carefully portrays the shy and kind character of Ariko, which resonates deeply with viewers. Touma Yumi, who plays Kobayashi Rin, also skillfully expresses the complex emotions of Rin, who is young but has memories of his past life.

Main Staff

Director Yamazaki Kazuo faithfully recreates the worldview of the original work while drawing out new charms through visual expression. The beautiful character designs by Goto Takayuki, who was in charge of character design and general animation director, also enhance the appeal of the work. In addition, the emotional background music by Mizoguchi Hajime, who was in charge of music, is also an important element in livening up the atmosphere of the story.

subtitle

The subtitles of each episode symbolize the development of the story, making it easier for viewers to follow the flow of the story. In particular, episode 3, "Memories of the Moon," reveals Rin's memories of her past life, making it an important episode that gets to the heart of the story. Also, episode 6, "Reincarnation, and...," deeply explores the themes of reincarnation and rebirth, leaving a strong impression on viewers.

There are no other works directly related to "Please Save My Earth" other than the original manga. However, you can understand this work more deeply by comparing it with other works that deal with themes of reincarnation and memory. For example, "Rinne no Lagrange" and "Concrete Revolutio: Choujin Gensou" are also works that deal with issues of reincarnation of the soul and memory.

This work takes advantage of the OVA format to faithfully reproduce the worldview of the original work while drawing out new charms through visual expression. Although it is a short series of only six episodes, the story unfolds in a very detailed manner and has the power to draw viewers in.
