Hunter Robin
The Solomon organization
goes after Craft users, the so-called witches. Robin is transferred to the STNJ
branch which prefers to capture instead of killing the witches.The witch hunters
themselves also have Craft ability and use the Orbo liquid to neutralize the witches'
powers, though Robin refuses to use it. Who is Robin exactly, why does Amon tend
to avoid her, and what is Solomon really up to? These and other questions pop
up during this mysterious and intriguing new show from Sunrise. |

Defense Force Mao-Chan
(Rikujyou
Bouei Tai Mao-chan)
This cute magical girl
show features character designs from Ken "Love Hina" Akamatsu. Mao-chan
has to protect Japan from cute aliens dropping from the sky in gashapon capsules.
She has the aid from her friends Misora (Air defense) and Sylvia (Sea defense),
but it's a good thing the aliens aren't much of a threat, because they aren't
that good at defending :-) |
 | Saishu
Heiki Kanojo
(Saikano,
The Last Love Song on this Little Planet)
Shin
Takahashi's popular manga has been made into a brand new anime series by Gonzo
(Vandread, Hellsing, Full Metal Panic!). Small, clumsy and a little dense, Chise
doesn't seem to be the girl Shuuji imagined to be his girlfriend, but he's willing
to give it a try. Of course things get a tad complicated when he finds out she
is the ultimate weapon created by the military. |
 | Kogepan
What?
An anime about scorched bread? Kogepan can be bitter and depressed and jealous
of the perfectly baked bread, but deep beneath his hard crust lies a soft heart. |
 | Secret
of Cerulean Sand (Patapata Hikosen no Boken, Adventures of the Airship
Patapata)
Based on Jules Verne's "Facing
The Flag" and "City in the Sahara" (though I'm not sure how close
the resemblence is), Secret of Cerulean Sand is a classic adventure story set
in the 19th century and featuring young and spunky Jane Buxton. If the designs
look vaguely familiar, it's probably because the character designer worked on
Batman, and the art director on Totoro. |
