    I thought it was a fun watch and maybe interesting to some to see UFOs represented in pop culture.

    Here is the synopsis from Wikipedia:

    “Momo Ayase is a high school girl who believes in ghosts but not aliens, while her classmate Ken Takakura, whom Momo nicknames “Okarun”, believes in aliens but not ghosts. In a bet to determine who is correct, the two decide to separately visit locations associated with both the occult and the supernatural—Momo visiting the former, and Okarun visiting the latter. Momo is abducted by a group of aliens who accidentally unblock her chakras, enabling latent psychic abilities. Meanwhile, Okarun is possessed by a spirit who takes over his body. By using Momo’s abilities and Okarun’s possessed form, they defeat the aliens together.

    The rest of the story follows the two, as they team up with fellow students, friends, family, and new acquaintances to fight spirits and aliens; the overarching plot themes include retrieval of Okarun’s testicles ([*kintama*](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E9%87%91%E7%8E%89_(%E4%BF%97%E8%AA%9E)&action=edit&redlink=1) %5B%5Bja%5D(https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%87%91%E7%8E%89_(%E4%BF%97%E8%AA%9E))]) and the development of romantic feelings between Momo and Okarun.”
