About Earthian

Meet Earthian, a drama, shounen ai and shoujo anime by J.C.Staff, Production Reed (1989). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: 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.

Also worth knowing: 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.

In a drama series like this, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. If you count yourself among viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action, put it on your list.
