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?

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.

Tales of a Street Corner

Tales of a Street Corner is the first experimental anime produced by the legendary mangaka Tezuka Osamu.

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.
