DearS, a race of voluptuous aliens whose spaceship crashed into Tokyo Bay, have become Japanese citizens. They're about to start living with ordinary families, when alien Ren appears and attaches herself to Takeya, a nerdy high school student. Ren declares that Takeya is her Master and she lives only to please him. Predictable contretemps ensue, with Ren failing to grasp the concept of wearing clothes and arousing the dark suspicions of Takeya's nosy neighbor Neneko. The appearance of DearS exchange student Miu and the arrival of the horribly cute cat-girl Nia, who's out to capture Ren, add to the complications, if not the fun. Virtually every joke and story element in DearS has been used many times before. (Rated 16 and older: nudity, risqué humor) --Charles Solomon Review: A Series Deserving More Publicity - At first look, I thought it would be a series I would just put down after a single episode. Though what really caught me off guard, was how quickly the series hooked me in. Be that many anime series have striking similarities, this one still managed to keep its own level of individuality, in an extremely enteraining fashion. I won't get into too many details over it so I do not spoil it for those who have not seen it yet. What I can say, is that viewers should expect plenty of good laughs and levels of intrigue with this series. Suspenseful? Not so much, but I would not call it predicatble. Some events or actions kind of have the feeling like they hit you on the face with a toy hammer. What you can also notice is animation consistancy and the amount of detail the animators went into every shot. Voice acting for both Japanese and the English voices were very exceptional, and really emphasized on expression, which for me personally, is VERY important to keep in mind. This series, though not as well known as some of the hot-shot series out there, then, and now, still ranks as one of my all-time favorites. The only complaint is that it was only a 13 episode series, would it have been better if a little bit longer? that I cannot be for certain, but I am happy with how it all turned out. Review: A Highly Underrated Series - While I admit there is nothing groundbreaking within this series it nonetheless has an infectious quality to it which drew me in from the first moment and left me loving this anime. There is much to love about this anime even within what others have said is lack of originality, so much so that I think it becomes a very comfortable anime to watch, and one that will leave you wanting more by the time you finish this first disc. Others have compared DearS, and rightly so, to a Chobits meets Girls Bravo type of plot mix. It is very much filled with ideas found within both of those anime, however it is also within these very similarities that the characters of DearS start to shine and take on lives of their own, making them unique within a commonplace set of ideas. It cannot be understated that it is the writing itself which allows this characters to be brought so to life and create such a wonderful feeling that you will love this anime from start to finish on this first disc and be left wanting more, the mark of a great performance. So while I cannot deny there is nothing groundbreaking and much of the plot might seem familiar, I can say that in spite of this DearS has an irresistible charm all of it's own that makes this anime a worthy entry in anyone's collection. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0008191V0 | | Actors | Karen Strassman, Taliesin Jaffe | | Best Sellers Rank | #212,668 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #4,650 in Anime (Movies & TV) #20,503 in Comedy (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (24) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | MPAA rating | Unrated (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Animated, Color, Dolby, Full Screen, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | August 2, 2005 | | Run time | 2 hours and 40 minutes | | Studio | Geneon [Pioneer] | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Karen Strassman, Taliesin Jaffe - **Format:** Animated, Color, Dolby, Full Screen, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled - **Genre:** Animated - **Language:** English, Japanese - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 40 minutes ## Images ![DearS - 1st Contact (Vol. 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71m-9TRZklL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Series Deserving More Publicity *by D***Y on October 7, 2010* At first look, I thought it would be a series I would just put down after a single episode.

I read the first chapter in a manga sampler, and the review for it made it sound like "Alien Nation". A spaceship of alien slaves crash lands on Earth and the country they landed in "Japan" adopts them in to their society. The country sets up an exchange program, where Families take care of these beautiful alien visitors as they go to school to learn more about our Planet. The aliens are given the name DearS, which means "beloved friend", and one high-school student Named Takeya ends up taking care of a girl named Rin. This story sounds innocent enough right. Wrong! In the first episode we find out Takeya's teacher is a Nymph and more or less forces her students to read the Erotica she wrights out loud in class. She also acts inappropriately in class as they're reading. Rin, who arrived 1 year after the other DearS, has no understanding of anything. Our languages, our cultures, when and when not to wear clothing (Your not suppose to wear your school uniform in the Shower.) is naked in most of the show. Whether you like shows like this or not, its got a certain charm in a "Girls Bravo" sort of way. I'd recommend this show to any "Girls Bravo" fans and not to Parents who want to buy their kids a Cartoon. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/28904532-dears-1st-contact-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/28904532-dears-1st-contact-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
