Destiny’s Hand

Welcome aboard Destiny’s Hand, a ship captained by the chivalrous “Gentlemen Pirate” that is literally unsinkable. The second most noteworthy member of the crew is young Olivia Soldana, a brash sixteen-year-old that can outdo any man. An unfortunate turn of events places Olivia in charge of the ship while the Captain is ill. His dying wish is to seek out the Devil’s Eye, a relic of destructive power that the worst of the worst desire, before it falls into the wrong hands. It is a seemingly impossible task that not only requires four pieces of a map, but a certain veil, a special crystal and a reluctant scholar that hates pirates as well! While seeking these items, Olivia faces the challenge of leading a crew that doubts her authority. This lack of trust is more than just an inconvenience, for the crew certainly needs to be united in order to take on Captain Mulgrew of the Kraken, a vicious pirate also seeking the Devil’s Eye who is not merely a thief, but a relentless murderer. Pirates such as he are causing all of the cities with ports to take action to stamp out piracy once and for all, and even the moralistic pirates of Destiny’s Hand are receiving no mercy. The ship might be unsinkable, but the crew members can easily die, and it seems that many of their deaths are drawing near. Will they be able to carry out the Captain’s wish amongst all of the chaos?

Chobits

Chobits takes place in world where humans and humanoid computers called persocoms live in harmony. Cram school student Hikdeki Motosuwa is broken-hearted because he lacks the money to buy a persocom of his own, but miraculously, he stumbles across a one lying in an alley with some trash! Finders keepers; who wouldn’t take it? Upon powering it on, he realizes that the persocom’s memory has been completely wiped. All she can even say is “Chi,” so that’s what Hideki begins to call her. He is about as experienced with persocoms as she is with the world, but nevertheless, Hideki finds himself teaching Chi about everything that you can possibly think of; even how to speak! As Chi regains her memory and adapts to life with Hideki, she acts surprisingly human-even more so than other persocoms. Hideki begins to question if she has real emotions–could she be a legendary Chobit? Is it possible for a human and a computer to share true love?

Card Captor Sakura

Nights in Tomoeda have just become a little more interesting recently, ever since the appearance of some weird events. Most people have passed them off as mere weather phenomena or maybe hooliganism, but if one would observe closely, they would see that these events are caused by supernatural spirits. Enter Kinomoto Sakura, a.k.a. Card Captor Sakura, a 10 year old fourth grade girl who attends Tomoeda Elementary School, likes PE, and hates math. You see, it was Sakura who unleashed these spirits, known as “Clow Cards,” into the world in the first place, and now it is up to her to recapture them with the help of the newly awakened Guardian Beast of the Seal, Cerberus (a.k.a. Kero-chan).
