Though the latter - head-related features - may vary. As "DearS" shows some aliens actually exhibit super-human beauty, or as in the case of "Onegai Teacher" they are genetically compatible to humans for some strange reason., militaryThe military, also known as the armed forces, are forces authorized and legally entitled to use deadly force so as to support the interests of the state and its citizens.

It is the dawn of the 21st century. Mankind has terraformed and colonized Mars, but is not alone in the universe. An ancient race of alien beings, known only as The Gods, has been watching mankind's progress... and waiting. Now, these mysterious aliens have returned to halt mankind's expansion into space... by force.

Presently, the planet named after the God of War, Mars, will become the final battlefield, as mankind fights a desperate battle with the latest in high-tech, military hardware: hyper-advanced aircraft, orbital fighters, and gigantic, desert battleships brimming with the most advanced weaponry.

But will it be enough? The aliens have awesome, incredibly destructive weapons at their disposal — including Hell — an unstoppable stealth carrier. But the alien's primary weapon is insidiously quiet and invisible — a mind control plaque. Incurable. Inevitable. Contagious. Humans are powerless to resist its effects, which transforms even the most loyal soldiers into dangerous subversives.

Mankind's last hope lies with Captain Akuh and the crew of the Battleship Aoba. If his top-secret mission is successful, mankind will deal a decisive blow against the alien armada. But Akuh's girlfriend is showing signs of nymphomania — the first symptom of alien subversion!

To make matters worse, after martial arts training at the Magical Springs in China, Ranma's father Genma is cursed to change into a panda and Ranma is cursed to change into a beautiful buxom female whenever doused in cold water.

Things get personal, however, by the fact that the plane's other cargo is none other than the woman he loves.

Sonic Boom Squadron — the pilot of an Ohka bomb, the purest kamikaze desperation weapon of the Pacific War, once dreamt of flying a rocket into space, but instead he is to fly a rocket into an American ship for the glory of his homeland. If they would only have let him live another 30 years...

Knight of the Iron Dragon — on the Philippine island of Leyte, a rusted old motorcycle tells the tale of two Japanese soldiers who returned to a captured airfield to fulfil a promise that neither could ever keep.

Akihiro's amorous intentions are abruptly shagged however, when, while fondling the deep plush pile, the cute, cuddly and very female sprite Malon pops into his hands.

While this might seem not so bad, the question quickly becomes not whether Akihiro is deserving of such "good fortune", but whether he will even survive the attention of The Girl from Phantasia.

Swept into one predicament after another, Akihiro is faced with not only the mischievous Malon, but also her ruthless magician-rival Roll, her combative elf associates Bith and Mont, and, worst of all, an extremely annoyed Michiko. What a crewel fate.

The fragrance of a flower at the botanical gardens reminds Mamoru of a long forgotten memory from his childhood when he met Fiore, an alien boy who was travelling the galaxy on his own. Before Fiore left, he made a promise to Mamoru to bring him flowers.

Once banned from society to a far away galaxy, the Kisenian flower, a plant that grows by consuming the energy of living beings, awaits to be found by someone with doubtful heart and weak will on whom to prey, since it is harmless without a proper host — to then transform the host's weakness and fear into dark power.

What will happen when lonely Fiore finds Kisenian during his journey? How will he react to finding out about the passionate relationship between Mamoru and Usagi? Will Sailor Moon be able to save Earth and the ones she loves from Fiore's jealousy powered by the accumulated hatred of the Kisenian against people?
