Alt titles: Narutaru
- TV (13 eps)

While visiting her grandparents on a remote island, Shiina Tamai, our young protagonist, inadvertently finds a strange star shaped creature, which she names Hoshimaru. This creature, while seemingly harmless and unusual, holds many secrets.

add recIn both Brigadoon and Narutaru, the main characters have similar personalities and face similar problems.
Both series involve creatures of a somewhat strange obscure nature.
Both series lean a little to a darker and more depressing aspect of life that most anime stay clear of, contain deaths of main characters, and abuse of deserved human rights. If you liked one try the other.
Don't be fooled by the cute and childish exteriors of these two shows, as Brigadoon and Narutaru have a seriously dark underbelly. I would say that they are both definitely unsuitable for younger viewers, as there are some very troubling issues dealt with.
Both feature a young girl meeting and then becoming a partner to a seemingly alien creature. They must fight against not only other monsters, but deal with some difficult realities back at home.
If you enjoyed one, I can guarantee you'll like the other.
Alien Nine
- OVA (4 eps)
- 2001
At a typical elementary school in Japan, yearly chores are being distributed. Yuri and 3 other students are chosen to be the beneficiaries of the alien hats for the year. Alien hats?! Yuri's sentiments, exactly. Despite her misgivings, she and her classmates must round up stray aliens that have escaped from a crashed spaceship -- with the help of the alien hats, of course.

add recBoth Alien Nine and Brigadoon are set in a school, with the earth under attack from an alien force. With the fate of humanity in the hands of some young schoolgirls, they must use some of the friendly monsters against those trying to destroy the planet.
The cute, wide eyed innocence of the characters is very deceptive and there are some very dark and twisted tones in the story. If you enjoy a good mindf**k, then both of these shows are a must see.
Shingu: Secret of the Stellar Wars
Alt titles: Gakuen Senki Muryou
- TV (26 eps)
- 2001
In the year 2070, a giant object appears over the skies of the small town Tenmo, scrambling the electrical grid and confirming the existence of extra terrestrial life. To young Hajime Morata, this news is exciting and new - but to the townspeople, school council members and even the new exchange student Muryou Subaru, nothing going on in the skies is out of the ordinary. For it seems that Earth houses both intergalactic ambassadors and planet defenders alike - at least one of whom can use the power of the giant Shingu to battle incoming invaders - and Hajime is somehow connected. In addition to helping plan school festivals and living his day to day life, Hajime slowly begins to discover the secret behind his town and himself.

add recBoth of these titles have a certain vibe that is both light hearted at times and can get serious as well. Shingu a tad bit more lighthearted than Brigadoon.
The over all "look" of the designs are very fresh and unique.
Both deal with the same age kids.
