Touch

Uesugi Kazuya is an outstanding student, a well-rounded athlete, and the top male at Meisei Junior High according to a poll of the female student body. Uesugi Tatsuya is a subpar student, a lazy slob, and only received one vote in that same contest. Yet, no matter what anyone says, Kazuya and Tatsuya are actually twins. The two live next door to the Asakura family and their daughter, Minami. Naturally, being the same age as well as neighbours since birth, Tatsuya, Kazuya, and Minami are the best of friends. However, Minami has also changed, and is a top student as well as “Miss Meisei.” Of course, her newfound womanhood has not gone unnoticed by Kazuya or Tatsuya.

Tokyo Godfathers

From just their names, Gin, Hana, and Miyuki might sound like three members of a happy family, and in some respect, they are. It’s just that Miyuki’s a teenage runaway, Hana’s a homosexual man who desires nothing more than to be a mother, and Gin’s a lackadaisical bum whose only care is his next meal. Oh yeah, and they’re all homeless too. One Christmas Eve though, while searching for some thrown out books, the three find an unexpected gift: an abandoned baby girl. Opting not to take her directly to the police, the three decide to try and find her true parents. But how can three homeless people take care of a baby, let alone find her real parents in a city the size of Tokyo?

This is where it all starts…

Tales of Phantasia

In the year 4304, an event occurred near the small town of Totus that would shape the future of the world of Aselia. Encouraged by his worldly ambitions, the knight Mars ordered the Euclidean military to seize Cless Alvein and Mint Adnade so that their pendants may be retrieved to break the seal on Daos, the great Demon Lord. However, rather than serving Mars’ whim, the Demon Lord uses his reawakening to facilitate the continuation of his own plans, and neither Mars, nor Cless, Mint, Chester Barklight, or Tornix D. Morrison are able to stop him. In desperation, Tornix sends Cless and Mint to the year 4204, and instructs them to find Klarth F. Lester and Arche Klaine, thus beginning the adventures of the “Heroes of Time.”

Tales of a Street Corner

Tales of a Street Corner is the first experimental anime produced by the legendary mangaka Tezuka Osamu. It portrays how life circles around a certain street corner, with music leading the way, as animals, people, even posters and lamps interact with each other. Tezuka deliberately left the plot quite vague and concentrated his efforts on the emotional side. As every event is in sync with Takai Tatsuo’s musical score, and all characters are represented by their own distinct tunes, Tales of a Street Corner displays the whole gamut of emotion, varying from peacefully calm to warlike rage.
