The first time I ever saw "Please Save My Earth" I completely loved it! The OAV Series is based on the shoujou manga by Saki Hiwatari. (Refer to main menu) It was originally printed weekly in "Hano to Yume" magazine. Then later it was released as a tankoubon-compiled volume.

Later, an OAV series was created containing six episodes. *Sniff-Wish there were more!* Each of these episodes are 30 minutes long. In Japan it was put out by Hakusensha and Victor Entertainment. In America you can get them through Viz Video.

Ever since she was a little girl, plants and animals have always seemed to love Japanese high school student Alice Sakaguchi. Her next door neighbor Rin loves her too. Even though he is only eight years old, he is determined that him and Alice will be married.

Alice's classmates, Jinpachi and Isssei, tell her that they've been sharing the same dreams since they were in junior high school. The people and objects in thier dreams always have the same names, and they remember details and conversations as though they were awake. The settling for the dreams is always the Moon. On the moon there are seven scientists that are from another plant that watch and study the earth.

Alice has a "moon dream," where she recalls her life on the moon and her love for Shion. Together the three of them search for the rest of the seven scientists and the story of PSME really begins...but I can't ruin it for you! You'll just have to see it for yourself!

***If you have seen the OAV and are still struggling because you never quite understood and were upset that they cut the story off then go here!

Alice Sakaguchi is troubled. Things just haven't been the same since her father got that promotion that forced the family to relocate to Tokyo. Sometimes she wishes they could all move back to their old home where she was happy. Still, she knows it's not her father's fault and she's trying to make the best of things. It would help, though, if the seven year old neighbor kid named Rin Kobayashi didn't delight in tormenting her so much. Alice has always been a very shy and introverted girl and as such has never handled confrontations well, a trait Rin takes full advantage of. Like the other day on her way home from school when he offered her a stick of gum. Alice at first refused because of his past transgressions, but she allowed herself to be taken by his faux hurt innocent act and submitted to his request to open her mouth and close her eyes. Instead of giving her the new stick of gum in his hand, Rin spit the wad he already had been chewing into her mouth and took the new stick for himself. Alice was so shocked that she ended up swallowing the gum and could only stare on in disbelief at her own stupidity as Rin ran away giggling. As if that wasn't enough, when she arrived home that night she was asked by Mrs. Kobayashi if she could babysit Rin the next day. Overwhelmed by the irony of it all, Alice didn't have much of an appetite at dinner that night and ended up crying herself to sleep.She couldn't believe how unfair her life was starting to become.

Then there's those two guys she accidently overheard talking at school. She hadn't intended to listen in on their discussion and now she wished she hadn't. At the time she thought they were discussing the possibility of being gay which was something Alice felt she really didn't need to know about, but later she and Rin bumped into the two of them while buying Rin a souvenir from the zoo and they asked her to allow them to explain what it was she had overheard them talking about. Their explanation was even stranger than Alice's presumption. The boy's names were Jinpachi Ogura and Issei Nishikiori and it turned out that they were discussing a dream. A very particular dream that both of them have been having since they became friends in middle school. In this dream Jinpachi is someone else; someone named Gyokulan. Issei is someone named Enju, who turns out to be female. The two of them were some sort of research scientists who, along with five other people, lived in a base on the moon. The dreams often depicted different aspects of these people's lives, but the setting and the people were always the same. Just recently, the two boys learned in a dream that Gyokulan and Enju may have been lovers and that's what prompted the odd discussion Alice had overheard. At the time Alice found their story fascinating...

...then there was the accident.

Later that same evening, at Rin's home, the boy seemed to be agitated over the interest Alice had shown in Jinpachi; almost to the point of jealousy. Rin angrily asked if she planned to marry Jinpachi to which she responded, "And what if I did?" Angered by her reply, Rin grabbed the souvenir purchased earlier and ran out onto the balcony of the apartment building. After climbing up to sit on the railing, he held the souvenir out and let it fall to the ground ten stories below. In a moment of uncharacteristic anger, Alice slapped the boy sending him tumbling from the railing. Shocked at what she had done, Alice managed to grab one of his legs before he fell, but it wasn't enough. His weight was too much and he slipped from her grasp. Rin was badly hurt in the fall, but did survive the ordeal. Alice, however, is overwhelmed with guilt over what she's done and only found solace from it when Rin finally did awaken. Rin is not unaffected by the experience, however, and seems to Alice to have undergone somewhat of a change. Just a few days later Alice is scolded by her mother for agreeing to an engagement with Rin without telling her, something which was as much news to Alice as it was to her mother. This was all too much for Alice to take in and she fainted on the spot. It was during that fainting spell that Alice first had her own dream about the moon. In this dream, she wakes to find a man named Shion bending over her, obviously concerned, and calling her "Mokulen". Momentarily confused when she passes a mirror, she asks Shion whether her face is supposed to look that way. He asks her in return whether she had bumped her head too hard when she tripped and fell earlier. Then she remembers. "I had a dream, Shion!" she exclaims. "About Earth. A dream in which I was a girl in Japan. I had a family, and I was such a crybaby," she tells him. And then she wakes up as Alice again...

Now Alice just wants her old life back. She never should have told Jinpachi and Issei about the dream, nor shown them the drawings of Mokulen and Shion she made afterwards. They're convinced that she is Mokulen and are determined to find the others from the moonbase. Rin's acting oddly as well and she can't shake the feeling that it's all her fault. It's as if Rin's fall has awakened something in him that even he was unaware of before. There's a dark storm brewing and Alice looks to be caught right in the middle of it and she doesn't know what to do about it... (Source: casualotaku.com)
