DearS - 1st Contact (Vol. 1)
Based on the manga by Peach Pit, the 2004 broadcast seriesDearSis a fan-service program in the tradition ofChobitsandSteel Angel Kurumi. DearS, a race of voluptuous aliens whose  spaceship crashed into Tokyo Bay, have become Japanese citizens. They're about to start living with ordinary families, when alien Ren appears and attaches herself to Takeya, a nerdy high school student. Ren declares that Takeya is her Master and she lives only to please him. Predictable contretemps ensue, with Ren failing to grasp the concept of wearing clothes and arousing the dark suspicions of Takeya's nosy neighbor Neneko. The appearance of DearS exchange student Miu and the arrival of the horribly cute cat-girl Nia, who's out to capture Ren, add to the complications, if not the fun. Virtually every joke and story element inDearShas been used many times before. (Rated 16 and older: nudity, risqué humor)--Charles Solomon
