Asobi ni Iku yo: Bombshells from the Sky is how it was titled when it was simulcast on Crunchyroll (hurry and watch it there before it's gone) and hopefully it'll be released on DVD as well. I'm just going to refer to it as Asobi though for now. Asobi is the tail of the Catian people who have recently arrived on Earth and are interested in becoming friends with the humans. The mothership that arrives sends down Eris a lovely young Catian female as an emissary and Scout. She meets the young boy Kio at a family get together and they become fast friends. Although not everyone is happy about an unknown alien person running around free on Okinawa. There are several groups out to nab Eris for their own reasons. The CIA want to study her, the group "Beautiful Contact Japan Sect" want to study her and the Religious cult "Underside of Kitten Paw" want to worship her as their almighty goddess.
Kio's friend Manami who is a part of the CIA recruitment program successfully kidnaps Eris only to end up helping Kio rescue Eris from the CIA. Also along to help them is Aoi another one of Kio's school friends who is secretly working for a secretive Japanese gov't agency. Aoi secretly likes Kio (so does Manami actually) and has a special ability to teleport objects to herself from 50m away. Mostly that's weapons though. Kio with the help of everyone is able to rescue Eris and take her home where his house is made into a Catian Embassy where both Manami and Aoi also stay as Embassy guards and to help and also train Kio so that he's able to protect Eris and the others. The biggest problem faced by Eris and the gang is the Dogisian commander who is also on Earth trading in advanced materials and weapons. Something that the Dogisian's are not allowed to do. The leader of the Dogisians' and her Dog assist-a-roid Muttley set out to ruin the Catian's plan to befriend the Humans and to do this they send a lot of trouble to Eris and the others.
Lots of stuff happens Kio is dense as all hell during the entire season and doesn't know the girls are fighting over him even though as soon as Eris finds out what is going on she simply says, "that's OK we can all love Kio together." Lucky bastard. In any case Kio is able to man up in the end and save everyone blah blah blah I don't want to give everything away. I definitely think you should watch this series as I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up. Can't wait for the DVD's to arrive. Hopefully they'll have all the good stuff that comes with the Japanese release DVD's. Also cool is that there has been an OVA announced for Asobi ni Iku yo! as well. So we can look forward to that next year.
