A self-proclaimed alien crown prince with a talent for chaos moves in uninvited with a Yamagata-bound baseball prodigy, and the comedy that follows is sharper and stranger than it has any right to be. Level E is a 2011 sci-fi comedy series based on Yoshihiro Togashi's manga, built around an extraterrestrial fool of royal standing whose schemes range from tormenting his own subordinates to bestowing bizarre powers on unsuspecting children. Fans of dry, clever humour will find it a satisfying watch before or after exploring Yamagata's quieter, less touristy corners.
