Short Outline
Earth Girl Arjuna is a show about some neo-environmentalists in a diesel-fueled helicopter that blow up sandworms to save the planet.
Main Description
Not hamstrung by being over serious or preachy, "Arjuna" instead wraps it's message and profound moments in a highly watchable anime full of mysticism, spirit creatures, and incredible animation that will hold you spellbound. The CGI effects in this series represent some of the best of what's possible in animation today, and the show's high production values are on par with that of a full budget animated movie. Thoughtful and thought provoking, Earth Girl Arjuna is a delightful series you need to see!
Unfortunately, every single thing in the previous paragraph is a gigantic lie perpetrated by gigantic retards who get their opinions on environmental issues from "Pet Shop of Horrors." Long story short, the entire show is the world's best animated but worst thought out argument for 100% of the world's population immediately abandoning our cities and becoming no-till, no-fertilizer, organic subsistence farmers.
There are some characters floating around in there, but they're mostly uninteresting 2d mockeries of people the writer hates. Tokio- He doesn't "get" environmentalism and likes cheeseburgers. This is why he is never portrayed favorably in any way. Alan (or something)- He is a Bene-Gesserit witch with the powers of Dr. X and Superman combined in addition to raising people from the grave. Huge author self-insert.
There are some other guys, but none of them matter.

This show is the worst unintentionally hilarious show on the planet, excluding Eiken. Watch it with friends and cheeseburgers for maximum effect.

I know ADTRW hates this show, and maybe it's just the fact that I'm a tree-hugging hippy loser, but somehow I found this show tremendously enjoyable. I marathoned it in one (very long) train ride, and didn't find it preachy, but instead found it to be very emotionally moving. If environmentalism doesn't piss you off, give it a try. Maybe you'll love it.
