I rented this one. Based on a manga, Please Save My Earth OVA tells the story of Alice, a high school student from Hokkaido, who's family have recently moved to Tokyo. She hates it here and wishes to be back in Hokkaido. To make matters worse, she is confronted by two classmates who claim that she and they were alien scientists researching the Earth from a previous life. Though pleasant, she is confused by all this. When she gets home, she haves to babysit a bratty neighbor kid, Rin. Rin drops a flower pot of hers over a baloncey and she slaps him so hard that he crashes down onto a tree below. Unconcious, Rin ends up in the hospital and Alice is so upset by what she haves done that she prays for his revive. Either due to the powers she haves from her past life or brain damage, Rin awakes up with the memories and personality of his previous life. Still upset, Alice wants to marry him as part of forgiveness for the accident. However Rin's new personality is psychotic and dangerous due to anger of being mistreated and the hardships he faced in his previous life. He wants to kill one of the reincarnations for delaying his reincarnation to be with Alice (she's a teenager). The hated reincarnation had adopted Rin's previous form to get Alice but he is sickly and regrets making his previous life's decisions. Though Rin learns of this, he is still dangerously angry. PSMY is one of the best OVAs I seen. Though old, it haves solid storyline and great characters. A possible problem with the story is that it gets confusing about who is who with the previous lives and why they act they way they do. You may have to view the options or rewatch the video to understand it. Another problem is that Viz haves stopped making the DVD and the manga is hard to find in real stores. The voices are solid. Nobody seems corny or chessy with the English translation. Rin's voiceover did a good job with making the Ring around the Roses creeply affect. Though it may be overlooked, PSME is a must-buy and a overlook classic (to me) of animeRead full review
There are no good animes that represents purpose in life, such as please save my earth or any other animes that where released by Pioneer or VIZ animations. Now a days people this day and age don't seem to understand the good quality of music and artwork of the anime itself. Plus the dedication that was placed on these types of shows. Therefore, I do recommend this anime if you want enjoy the artwork and story plot of anime plus it's manga.

I haven’t watch this since I was a teenager. But I remember really liking it. So I bought it and watch it again now with adult eyes. I still don’t fully understand it or what happens in it but I like it. One day I might read the manga, might help me understand the story a little better. But it’s beautifully animated and very intriguing
