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?!

Commentary
Alien 9 is a strange concept and fairly entertaining. There is some alien gore (no human gore), no naughty bits, and more than a little whining. Some aspects of the story are a bit confusing, like the lack of explanation why school children are expected to deal with alien invasions. Some of the critters seem quite dangerous. You would think that there would be some sort of professional agengy to handle this type of problem.
The general consensus among people that I know who've seen Alien 9, is that the concept is a bit *too* odd and that the ending leaves a bit to be desired. In addition, there are some questions that were not answered in the anime. There is a manga, but, I didn't enjoy the anime enough to bother with the manga.
