About This Boy Can Fight Aliens

Meet This Boy Can Fight Aliens (Kono Danshi, Uchuujin to Tatakaemasu.), an action, fantasy and supernatural anime by CoMix Wave Films (2011). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: All hope seems lost when the realm is all at once invaded by aliens. Earth's only defense is a small three-person team known as the Special Counter-Aliens Task Force, consisting of an anonymous director, the tyrannical Shiro, and the easygoing Arikawa.

As things develop, the luck of the Task Force improves when Arikawa stumbles on a teenage boy lying alone on a hill. The boy, Kakashi, is humanity's only hope—he has ability previously unbeknownst capable of defeating the aliens! However, without any memories and with no knowledge on how to use his ability, Kakashi is left clinging to Arikawa and Shiro as well as the only remnant of his previous life: his broken cellphone.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.
