A chance meeting intertwines her fate with that of the super-rich inventor, Uzal Delilah, and her adorable and grumpy companion, Clarion, who happens to be a cyborg just like Nene. Nene is thrilled to make a friend, but there is more to Uzal and Clarion — and the island of Cenancle itself — than meets the eye. When a super-powered terrorist threatens Cenancle, Uzal claims that the only way to avert disaster is for Nene to team up with Clarion and use their combined powers — abilities Nene never even knew she had.

For the older viewers a college setting with more mature real-life problems is appropriate. And since clubs take up so much time in the lives of students, these are obviously also important.

As the result of a viral outbreak, that occurred over a decade ago, the way the human brain works is irrevocably altered in such a way that beings, thought to be figments of imagination, like ghosts or monsters, become real... now collectively known as Phantoms. Since then children have been born with special abilities. Most of these apparitions at worst are a nuisance, but some of them can turn out to be quite troublesome...

Ichijou Haruhiko is a widely-read first-year high school student at Hosea Academy, with the special ability to summon and seal away Phantoms by drawing them; always accompanied by the carefree, helpful Phantom Ruru. While his energetic upperclassman, Kawakami Mai, fights Phantoms with the ability Spirit of Five Elements. The newest member of their club, the glutton Izumi Reina, uses her Phantom Eater ability to seal away Phantoms. There is another Phantom-hunting club member in the not very highly regarded Team E at the academy: the brave yet stoic Minase Koito, who, at least initially, prefers to fight Phantoms by herself.

Together they take on contracts their teacher, Himeno Arisu, gives them, dealing with all manners of troublesome Phantoms. In doing so, they experience the ups and downs of resolving issues with paranormal life, before an incident leads them to find out the truth about this world.

* Based on a light novel written by Nishio Ishin and illustrated by Vofan.

It is the afternoon of March 25, the day of the school year closing ceremony, and Araragi Koyomi's second high school year is at an end. As he, like many other perfectly normal students such as himself, heads into the spring break that precedes his third and final year, Hanekawa Tsubasa, the braided, bespectacled honour student from his grade, tells him about a rumour according to which there is a vampire in town.

That night, Koyomi finds a bloodstained woman with torn limbs seeking help on the underground platform, a woman who fits Hanekawa's description to the letter: a beautiful blonde with spine-chillingly cold eyes. That fateful meeting meant Koyomi's last spring break would not be like any other, and he himself was about to cease to be just another normal student; he had run into none other than the greatest among aberrations, the most powerful of all monsters. That night, Araragi Koyomi had met the legendary, centuries-old vampire Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade, who would remove him from the world of normal people and throw him into the nocturnal world, a chaotic world of deities, ghosts, curses, and all other imaginable sorts of supernatural beings, items, and events.

Galko is a nice, popular, good-looking, and fashionable, but also sharp-tongued, high school student. Due to how she looks and behaves, most people mistake her for a party girl. Galko's closest friends are Otako, an unkempt girl averse to attention and essentially Galko's polar opposite, and Ojou, a rather sheltered airhead from a rich family.

adventureAdventures are exciting stories, designed to provide an action-filled, energetic experience for the viewer. Rather than the predominant emphasis on violence and fighting, the viewer of adventures can live vicariously through the travels, conquests, explorations, creation of empires, struggles and situations that confront the main characters. Adventure films are often, but not always, set in an historical period., comedyAnime whose central struggle causes hilarious results. These stories are built upon funny characters, situations and events. A comedy anime is laced with humour and sets out to provoke laughter from the audience. Japanese humour can be a bit strange to westerners, so if you`re new to this type of humour, just bear with it; it`ll most likely grow on you if you`re a fan of other kinds of comedy., deitySome religions say that there is a supernatural being called God. Other religions say there is more than one god. A supernatural being is also sometimes called a deity. Many religions believe that a deity created everything that exists. In most religions, a god is believed to be immortal (cannot die), and to have powers to control nature far beyond the powers of humans., fantasyImaginative or fanciful work, especially one dealing with supernatural elements and themes., isekaiAn isekai story is one in which the lead characters are transferred to and become stuck or trapped in another world completely different from the one they lived in up until the transfer, commonly a fictional world. They generally cannot come back permanently without meeting a highly specific goal. In some cases, they will seek and eventually find a way to return; in others, they will gleefully embrace their new life., magicMagic is the art of purportedly manipulating aspects of reality either by supernatural means or through knowledge of unknown occult laws., novelA novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, normally written in prose form, and which is typically published as a book. Manga, comics, or visual novels do not fit this description and are not considered novels; including a small number of illustrations, however, is still permissible, which means that light novels are considered novels., parallel worldParallel world, parallel universe, or alternative reality is a self-contained separate reality coexisting with our own. A fictional world can just as well have an alternative reality, it doesn`t need to be our reality. To put it more simply, this category is to show if more than 1 world/universe/reality is present in the anime. Multiple timelines of the same world/universe/reality are NOT considered parallel worlds., seinenSeinen, literally "young man", is one of the main demographic classifications applied to manga, and, by extension, to anime, especially manga-based ones. As the name implies, seinen works are marketed primarily to an audience of young men; the age range commonly understood to be the target of such works goes roughly from 17 to somewhere in the 40s.

He responds: "So, I'll bring you." With that, he is transported to another world, and his great adventure quest for subjugating the demon king begins, but first goes the hard work like finding food, clothing, and shelter. Kazuma wants to live in peace, but the goddess raises one problem after another, and the demon king's army has its eyes set on him.

coming of ageIn the strict sense the Coming of age describes a young person`s transition from adolescence to adulthood. In anime the term is used in a more general sense where the protagonists have to face a challenge, make an important decision in their life, take on responsibility, or learn a lesson, and by overcoming these obstacles they reach a higher level of maturity., daily lifeThe antics of the protagonists do not take place in some exotic setting or time, but in everyday life. Daily Life is basically a synonym for everything normal, repetitive, and trivial happening to your average person., high schoolA secondary school that usually contains grades 10 through 12 in Japan, or 9 through 12 in America., mangaManga is the lifeblood that drives the anime industry. Everything and its mother is based on manga. However! There are exceptions where the manga was not the basis for the anime. See also manhua and manhwa., romanceRomance describes a story that deals with love between two or more characters typically also having an optimistic ending. Romance is also a difficulty encountered when creating a harem., school lifeSince a large part of the anime audience still takes part in school life or is visiting college, it is only natural to choose a setting the audience can identify with, be it elementary, middle, or high school. For the older viewers a college setting with more mature real-life problems is appropriate. And since clubs take up so much time in the lives of students, these are obviously also important., shounen aiShounen Ai means boys love, and thus explores what happens when two boys (or men) fall in love. This is not to be mistaken for Yaoi which is (or, at least, how this term is often used by the western audience) a hentai genre. This is not; that means there is no graphical sex. The female version is Shoujo Ai.
