Baby Blues
Unwanted pregnancies
is one of the biggest problems that a teen could ever experiences but a baby
alien popping out of nowhere and his sitter (whom may I add is a talking cat is
another thing.
To top it all
up the baby resembles you and someone that you are living with as a result the
baby thinks that both of you are his parents. Complicated, right?
UFO baby is a
comedic yet romantic type of anime. The
story starts with an 8th-grade student, Miyu Kouzuki whose parents leave for
the United States to work for NASA and arrange for her to stay with their
long-time family friend, Hōsho Saionji (a monk who lives in an old temple atop
a hill). However, the monk leaves soon after for India on a year-long voyage,
leaving Miyu to stay in the same house with his son, Kanata.
A UFO lands, transporting
an alien baby, Ruu, and his cat-like "sitter pet", Wannya. They
arrive after being separated from their home planet, Otto, when it falls into
an interplanetary worm hole They cannot return to their home planet because it
is too difficult to reach; Wannyā asks Kanata and Miyu to allow them to stay in
their house, and they agree. Miyu and Kanata learn from Wannyā that people from
Planet Otto look identical to human beings, and that Wannyā can also transform
into human beings, animals and objects.
Miyu and
Kanata feel deep love for Baby Ruu, who also cares for them – thinking of them
as his parents due to their similar looks – and they go to great lengths to
help and protect him and Wannya. As the story progresses the group are often
involved in comedic and funny situations, but their sense of family deepens.
The story ends with a rescue team from outer space coming to Earth and returning
Ruu and Wannyā to Otto safely. Miyu goes to boarding school alone. However,
years later Miyu and Kanata reunite, marry and have a daughter named Miu; they
also reunite with Wannya and Ruu.
I personally
do love this anime. It goes second to Card Captor Sakura during my childhood
days.
