UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie

Background

Princess Valkyrie crash-lands on Earth, right on top of bathhouse owner Kazuto. She can only save him from death by giving him part of her soul. Naturally, she gives him the teenage half and reverts to her child persona. Kazuto and his friends have to try and get her back to normal and explain away the space ship stuck in the roof, although this becomes less of a talking point as more crashes occur.
Alien girls crashing into the human world and developing crushes on an ordinary boy with an old-fashioned occupation may sound familiar, but nonetheless Ryoe Tsukimura, creator and screenwriter of El Hazard, is credited with the series concept. The pseudonymous Kaishaku, creator of Kannazuki no Miko, "originated" the idea in the manga of the same name, although similarities to Tenchi Muyo! and Birdy the Mighty are obvious. The second series, December Nocturne (Junigatsu no Yasokyoku), followed in October 2003 with the arrival of the mysterious Valkyrie Ghost, another alien girl whose main agenda is getting Kazuto for herself but who also reveals more of the mysterious past of Valkyrie's home planet of Valhalla. A third series, subtitled Deluxe, was announced for 2004 but instead our happy band of Tenchi clones got a video series, Bride of the Star Spirit Season (Seiretsu no Hanayome). The show's Japanese title reflects the German pronunciation of the word valkyrie, presumably better known to the Japanese than the Anglo-Saxon variant thanks to the Richard Wagner opera Die Walküre (1862).
