Level E

Level E (Japanese: レベル E, Hepburn: Reberu Ī) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi. The plot follows the misadventures of alien Prince Baka Ki El Dogra, who crash-lands on Earth and forcibly begins living with high school student and baseball player Yukitaka Tsutsui. However, Prince Baka gradually realizes that he is targeted by aliens from other planets, and he uses his clever wits to somehow maintain world peace each time. Along with its short length and more realistic art style, the story of Level E focuses much more heavily on humor than Togashi's more famous series Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter × Hunter.

Plot

edit

Earth has been populated by thousands of aliens from all over the galaxy. While all the other aliens are aware of their presence, it is a secret only from the Earthlings. Baka, the prince of the planet Dogra, crash lands on Earth and loses his memory. He forcibly moves in with Yukitaka Tsutsui, a first year high school student who had just moved out on his own. The normal life he once knew is quickly pulled away as he becomes the target of the prince's torment.

Production

edit

Level E was written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi, who had established himself as a prominent manga artist with his popular action series YuYu Hakusho.[3] When the decision was made to serialize Level E, Togashi had only created the first chapter. Because the story involved the protagonist as an alien changing each chapter, he titled the manga "Alien Crises".[4] He quickly changed it to its final name after being told the former title was too explicit. After renting a videotape called Level 4, he affirmed to himself that he should name the series using the first English language letter of the word "alien".[4] He was informed that the first letter was "A" and not "E", but he replied that he always associated the term with E.T..[4] Togashi has stated that he is a fan of the horror genre of films and has cited visual effects designer H. R. Giger (of the Alien franchise) as a major influence.[3] Togashi based the setting of Level E on his own hometown of Yamagata with close attention to detail. For the humor, Togashi took inspiration from the gag manga Gaki Deka.[5]

1"An alien on the planet"Toshiyuki KatōJukki HanadaJanuary 11, 2011 (2011-01-11)[23]
High school student and baseball player Yukitaka Tsutsui moves into his apartment, shocked that an alien named Prince Baka has already invited himself inside. Prince Baka explains that his escape pod crash-landed on Earth two nights ago. As further proof that he is an alien, Prince Baka even gives Yukitaka a controller to make the escape pod explode from a distance. Miho Edogawa swings by from next door and gives Yukitaka a welcoming gift. As the news later reports that there were no casualties, Yukitaka allows Prince Baka to stay overnight. After Prince Baka retrieves an orb seen on the news, Yukitaka witnesses him oozing blue blood. However, Prince Baka heals his wounds near a tree, causing it to bloom. The next day after Yukitaka has baseball practice, the police shows up at Yukitaka's apartment looking for Prince Baka. With Yukitaka playing it down, the police leaves after telling him that Prince Baka is wanted for murder. Prince Baka later shows Yukitaka a holographic image from the orb, an arthropod from the planet Jacqueline S known as a Clive, which is extremely adept in mimicry.
2"Run after the man"Toshikazu YoshizawaJukki HanadaJanuary 18, 2011 (2011-01-18)[23]
Prince Baka surprises Yukitaka by saying that the Clive is simply his pet and reflects on what he is as an alien. Captain Craft, Sado and Colin of the Royal Guard Army have landed on Earth with the sole mission of protecting Prince Baka. Miho stops by Yukitaka's apartment to check for hidden cameras. However, Prince Baka secretly escapes from his bedroom, much to Yukitaka's annoyance. Meanwhile, Captain Craft and Sado pass by monk Jinpachi Sakamoto in Konan Town to look for answers. Afterwards, Sado points out to Captain Craft that Earth is the only planet where the Diskunians coexist with the Ellerians. Colin has traced Prince Baka's distress signal to Yukitaka's apartment, while Yukitaka and Miho end up finding Prince Baka in a cafe wearing a different outfit. Prince Baka explains that he killed a thug named Lafferty in an alleyway, disposing the body in a trash can. Prince Baka, Yukitaka and Miho return to the apartment and encounter Captain Craft, Sado and Colin. When Prince Baka retrieves Lafferty's body inside the trash can, Sado realizes that Lafferty is of Diskunian origin.

Lafferty immediately jumps out of the trash can and departs from the balcony after warning everyone in Yukitaka's apartment that his Diskunian brethren will come after Prince Baka. The Diskunians soon corner the apartment complex, with Jinpachi demanding that Prince Baka must be handed over to the Diskunians by sundown. Sado suggests Captain Craft to jog Prince Baka's memory, but this knocks Prince Baka unconscious. As soon as sundown approaches, Colin tries to access information about the Diskunians using the crystal data system within the orb, while Jinpachi orders the Diskunians to raid Yukitaka's apartment. However, the jig is up, and Captain Craft reveals that the infiltration was actually staged by Prince Baka himself. It is shown that Prince Baka kept a secret video diary of a mock rescue operation. When Prince Baka wakes up, Captain Craft, Sado and Colin chase him out of Yukitaka's apartment to their spaceship. The Diskunians ask Yukitaka for his autograph due to being baseball fans. Three months later, Yukitaka shows Miho a letter written by Prince Baka, saying that Earth is now part of Dogra's domain, thanks to his involvement.

He gives them a business card addressed to Kyūshirō Yumeno, a detective who works at a rundown hospital. At the hospital, Yumeno explains to Itakura, Yamada and Nozaki that they saw an alien, which requires a large investigation fee. When Itakura goes missing several days later, Yamada and Nozaki finally contact Yumeno, giving up their parents' rings as payment and signing a contract. When Yamada and Nozaki find Higashio and Itakura in an isolated room, it turns out that Ungo tricked all of them into meeting Yumeno. Fortunately, Yumeno reveals that their lead suspect Yamamoto was the culprit, given that aliens do not leave behind fingerprints. Yumeno lets them go after showing them recorded footage of his incredible investigation. They happily share a box of fried chicken the following day. Surprisingly, Prince Baka was behind the production of this short film.

He secretly gives up the key, but the color rangers have no idea how to use it. With no other options left, Captain Craft, Sado and Colin team up to help the color rangers properly use the key to reveal their school crushes and unlock their bracelets. Nonetheless, only Akagawa and Momochi are unable to unlock their bracelets. On the following day at school, the color rangers are trapped in a role-playing game on the planet Calvary created by Prince Baka himself. Their mission is to go to the castle and defeat the Demon King. However, they decide that they must train to reach level thirty before going there.

Prince Baka is introduced as King Iidachi's daughter named Princess Apparel, much to the annoyance of the color rangers. Unfortunately, Prince Baka says that General Luch is at a much higher level than the color rangers. When General Luch enters the castle, Prince Baka tells the color rangers to head east to the Saint's Shrine in order to be safe from monsters, before he willingly departs with General Luch. Prince Baka manages to steal a rocket skateboard under General Luch's bed after some "bedroom role-play". The color rangers and Prince Baka each make it to the Saint's Shrine. The Demon King, a younger form of Prince Baka, approaches them with his desire to make Calvary a safe haven. The color rangers use a "golden hammer punch" to blast Prince Baka into outer space for being against this idea.

After failing to pursue Princess Saki and Mikihisa using snowmobiles, Captain Craft, Sado and Colin catch them at the end of a ride on an aerial lift.

Merchandise

edit

Several pieces of merchandise that tie into the anime have been released. These include CD singles for the opening and closing themes, apparel, and towels.[25] Aniplex released Level E on DVD in Japan beginning on February 23, 2011, concluding with the sixth volume on July 27, 2011. It included as between two and three episodes apiece, as well as extra features.[26]

Reception

edit

Carl Kimlinger of the Anime News Network gave an average grade to the first six episodes of the series, though he found that the artwork, animation, and music were good, and that its writing was "undeniably clever, even audacious". However, the reviewer felt the series to be less and less endearing to watch, particularly after the first three episodes, the absence of character Yukitaka Tsutsui, and the use of mini-story arcs. "There's a quixotic dignity in its use of entire story-arcs to set up single gags and a laudable courage in its willingness to experiment (check out the aged atmosphere created by episode four's thick lines and faded colors)," Kimlinger summarized. "That doesn't make it fun to watch, however. In fact, each successive episode leaves one feeling emptier and less charitable towards Prince than the last."[27] Erin Finnegan of the same website made similar comments regarding the narrative progression of Level E. Finnegan stated, "Maybe it's just me. I can't get attached to characters who are only going to be around for a few episodes unless they make an incredible impression, otherwise it's very hard to write loveable characters that will only last for three or four episodes. [...] In Level E, it's hard to get attached to the Prince, who doesn't appear at all in some episodes, and in other episodes he gets very little screen time. Plus he's such a jerk, it's hard to like him or care about his shenanigans."[28]
