Level E

Genre: Sci fi, comedy
Score: Excellent

Aliens live among us: hundreds of species live on earth and come to visit, and humans simply haven’t noticed. Tsutsui is moving to a new town to play baseball, but when he arrives he finds a strange man already living in his apartment (and news reports of a crashed UFO nearby). He slowly starts to realise that there’s something strange and dangerous going on around this man – dangerous to both of them and to the world.

It’s not often I give a comedy the Excellent rating, but Level E is unusual. For a start it’s rare for anime, particularly comedies, to not be about children, romance, sex or action. It’s also really hard to describe this series without spoilers, so I’ll just say that you need to see at least the first three episodes.

No, really. Go watch them now.
