Earthian English Sub & Dub

About Earthian

If you are hunting for a new drama series, Earthian (アーシアン) deserves a look (1989). The setup goes like this. The premise: Angels from the planet Eden have been watching Earthians, the inhabitants of Earth, for 5 billion years. Chihaya, an angel with unlucky black hair and wings, is a plus checker who travels to Earth with Kagetsuya, a minus checker.

Next up: Each team of plus and minus checkers keep track of Earth events and, if the score ever reaches minus 10,000, the Earth will be destroyed. The story follows Chihaya and Kagetsuya and the different people and events they observe on Earth.

As a drama title, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Voice work is led by Kazuhiko Inoue as Kagetsuya and Nozomu Sasaki as Chihaya. Think of it as a pick for viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. At 4 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with J.C.STAFF and Ashi Productions, which means the visual identity of Earthian follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on drama, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Its 5.3/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Kazuhiko Inoue as Kagetsuya, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 1989, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
