Reviews

The moe-meets-horror "Alien 9" typifies its subversive era and preempts today's "dark magical girl" trend

"My life has become a never ending nightmare from which there is no waking." -Yuri Otani, 12 year old alien fighter.

An exquisite juxtaposition of slice-of-life and horror (spoiler free)
