Blue Drop
2007-2007 TV-14 Seasons 1 (13 eps) DVD

When the rest of the residents on her home island died in one night five years ago, young Mari survived but had her memory erased. Now enrolled in the exclusive Kaihou Academy, Mari meets Hagino, a girl who holds the key to her past. Unbeknownst to Mari, Hagino belongs to the alien group who attacked her island and now passes for human. As the two become friends, Hagino questions her mission to facilitate another invasion in this anime series.


Two seemingly separate stories become more and more intertwined. The boarding school story is fairly formulaic if you've seen anime in similar setting (there's not even any fan service). The alien invasion side of things is never satisfactorily explained or fleshed out (loved the way the crew uniforms work, low ranks start out wearing one piece swim wear and they add more bits as they increase in rank)but there some good combat sequences. I liked the character and ship designs and the animation is pretty good.

Worth a look.
