Based on the manga by Peach-Pit, the thirteen-episode series DearS animated by Daume, which ran back in the summer of 2004, has seen streaming on a few different services. With Discotek Media picking it up in early 2014 and bringing it out on DVD, and the new Blu-ray release in the mix, the distributor has now added the opening from the Blu-ray to their channel below to show off up to 1080p.
Plot concept: One year ago, an alien spacecraft crashed into Tokyo Bay. With no means to return, aliens obtain Japanese citizenship and begin a home-stay program with regular families and schools. They are given the name “DearS,” meaning “beloved friend.”
However, Takeya, an opinionated teen, doesn’t trust the aliens one bit. But when Takeya encounters a mysterious girl who is cold, hungry, and wrapped only in a blanket, he takes pity on her.
As he brings her home to care for her, he finds that she is quite possibly one of the DearS. Add an alien cat-girl, an over-sexed teacher, and this DearS considers Takeya her master, life is beginning to become a little more than he can handle.
