Alien Nine is something, with its visual style and characters who at first glance look about as interesting as a piece of cardboard with wet paint on it. However, the anime builds its characters with how scary puberty can be to someone growing up. Alien Nine shows this to its viewers in a great way by visualizing the anxiety of the characters and the constant fear of being left behind by your peers. Is this anime anything new? In short, no. It's not breaking any new ground but with its short 4 episodes, it is a nice little story about 3 girls who are probablynot the best people to be cleaning up the alien mess that the Men in Black don't have time to deal with.
