Synopsis

Please Save My Earth Music Image Video: The Passing of the Golden Age contains six music videos with footage not seen in the OVA and scenes taken from the manga, as well as a slightly different version of the OVA ending sequence, and the ending credits for the image videos. (Source: Wikipedia) See more info for additional information about these music videos.

Audience Consensus

The 'Boku no Chikyuu wo Mamotte: Kiniro no Toki Nagarete' music video special is primarily a treat for existing fans of the series, particularly those who have read the manga. Its strong point is the music and visuals, evoking a sense of nostalgia and sentimentality. However, it lacks substance for newcomers and doesn't offer a conclusive narrative, functioning more as an extended music video with scenes from the manga.

Strengths

  • Great music, typical of PSME, some new songs too
  • Includes scenes from the manga about Mokuren's and Enju's pasts
  • Features the important scene from the manga happening on Tokyo Tower
  • Enjoyable for fans of the music and art style

Weaknesses

  • Incomprehensible if you didn't pay attention to the OVA or read the manga
  • No conclusive ending, no secrets revealed
  • Anime-only viewers won't understand the plot or Rin's overall plan
  • Feels like an AMV
  • Serves primarily as fanservice
