From Wikipedia:
"Earth Maiden Arjuna (地球少女アルジュナ, Chikyū Shōjo Arjuna), also known as "Earth Girl Arjuna" or just "Arjuna", is a thirteen episode anime series created by Shoji Kawamori that was originally aired by TV Tokyo between January 9, 2001 and March 27, 2001. The series was also later completely broadcast by the anime satellite television network Animax.
Arjuna is set in Kobe, Japan, where the protagonist, Juna, is attending high school. The story opens on her telling her boyfriend, Tokio, she feels too cramped in the city, and deciding to take a trip to the Sea of Japan. On the drive, they get in an accident, and Juna dies.
As her spirit leaves her body, Juna sees the Earth suffering, visualized by worm-like creatures, the Raaja, entwining the planet. A young boy, Chris, appears to her, and offers to save her life if she will help the planet. She agrees, and is resurrected."

This is a really strange anime, for me at least: the first time I watched an episode was on the German channel SAT 1 - and I wasn't impressed at all.
Then I found an AMV with footage from this series (the song was Coldplay's "Everything's not lost") and I got hooked...
The version I have is from ZX - sure it is good but it was made back in 2003 and I'm sure a "remake" in h264 with multichannel audio (if the source has it, I mean) will be wonderful.
