Golden Boy

Oe Kintaro is a 25 year old single male touring Japan on his trusty bike, the Crescent Moon. A former student in Tokyo University’s Law School, he dropped out, only after completing all course requirements, to become a “freeter” – someone who switches between many odd jobs. Engaging in unlikely endeavors ranging from computer programming to anime production, these are the adventures of the golden boy.

Gokudo

Gokudo is rude, crude, and greedy – in other words, the perfect adventurer. His main purposes in life so far have been to eat good food, get lots of gold, and piss off as many people as possible. But all that’s about to change when he manages to obtain Jinn, a lecturing drunkard of a genie, and goes off to rescue the kidnapped daughter of his landlord (after charging an exorbitant fee, of course). And what was that old lady in the inn yelling about, anyway?

Ghost in the Shell

In the year 2029 a hacking program, created by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for espionage purposes, is on the loose. This program, or rather a virtual being without a body, goes by the name of Puppet Master. Major Kusanagi Motoko, an android who had most of her body replaced with high-tech parts, and her male companion Bateau are put on the case. It’s a race against time to capture this rampant hacker, before it manages to find a mechanical body, suitable for defecting to another country. In this ‘neo-punk’ setting, nothing is what it seems to be, and everyone are to be treated as suspects.

Genshiken

Kanji Sasahara is an incoming college freshman with a goal in mind: to join a group that can appreciate his secret interest in anime, manga and video games.

As the year progresses, Sasahara partakes in many activities with his newfound friends, such as visiting doujinshi stores, attending conventions, and playing video games.

Futari Ecchi

Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid

Three months after the Tuatha de Danaan Incident, everything appears to be back to normal at Mithril. The de Danaan has been fully restored to complete operational status, and SRT missions have recommenced. However, during a hostage rescue operation in a poor nation torn apart by civil war, Mithril is shocked to discover that the military government possesses anti-ECS weaponry, something that was previously thought to be only in the arsenals of the superpowers. Signs point to another force attempting to bend international politics to their will, and this is all too well confirmed by a shocking incident that threatens to incite further conflict in a divided China clinging to a shaky ceasefire. Mithril must now venture into the unknown with a familiar pilot and his unreliable Arbalest unit for the sake of world peace.

Full Metal Panic!

Mithril, an organization that destroys terrorist cells, breaks up smuggling rings, and intervenes in civil wars, can best be described as a neutral “world police.” Armed with weaponry 10 years ahead of the superpowers, and made up of elite personnel from around the globe, they are well equipped to handle any conflict. However, their latest mission appears to be a bit more peaceful: guard one Chidori Kaname. While Kaname appears to be a normal Japanese high schooler, she is actually a “Whispered,” one of a special group of people born with extraordinary subconscious intelligence. As such, Mithril has sent three of their top agents: SGM Melissa Mao, Sgt Kurz Weber, and one Sgt Sagara Sousuke – who has been assigned to infiltrate Kaname’s high school. The slight catch – Sousuke does not have the least shred of civilian common sense, and this, combined with his duty to keep a young schoolgirl under constant observation, inevitably leads to a more interesting life for all involved.
