actionAction anime usually involve a fairly straightforward story of good guys versus bad guys, where most disputes are resolved by using physical force. It often contains a lot of shooting, explosions and fighting., 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., genetic modificationStory-wise, genetic modification is usually centred on humans, probably the most subtle and creepy way of messing with mankind. Playing with the fear of the unknown, genetically altered humans are technically a new species, that may not only surpass but actually replace unaltered humans. The level of modification will vary from subtle changes in "look" (e.g. beauty), to mental enhancements (PSI powers), to more or less atrocious adaptations to extreme environments (breath under water)., gunfightsFights where two or more parties are firing guns at one another., human enhancementHuman enhancement can take various forms: It can be something comparatively non-intrusive as a power-up drug, a form of machine implantation or cyberization ("SAC Solid State Society"), or outright - possibly atrocious - genetic manipulation ("Ao no 6-gou"). Plot-wise enhanced protagonists in anime usually have to pay a price for their enhancements, be it physical or mental., mechaMecha in Japanese basically means mechanical things; everything from an electric whisk or a car to a spaceship or a robot. Here however we limit it to the more exotic things usually referred to as mecha anime: robots, whether controlled by a human or not, and their ilk., newNot based on anything, the story is a new work, usually made up by the people involved in creating the anime. Generally if an original work (原作) credit is given, it will be to the studio, or director, or other members of the production team., piloted robotPiloted Robots are, as the name suggests, robots that cannot control themselves; they need to be steered from somewhere, this can be from a human sitting inside or a remote controlled option., post-apocalypticAfter a major cataclysm has occurred. World War III, an alien invasion, plague, global warming or some other general disaster are common themes to build a post-apocalyptic world upon, where the effects were severe enough that mankind barely survived., robot helperIn a science fiction setting, the robot helper is, in a comedic sense, pretty much equivalent to what the "cute comic relief animal sidekick" is in a fantasy setting. The usually small machine has artificial intelligence, enabling it to support their owner / master with advice or help with menial tasks.

Androids should not be considered robot helpers since these are far more complex; use the android tag instead., science fictionScience fiction stories usually focus on how situations could be different in the future when we are more technologically advanced; due to either our own achievements or having met with other civilizations whom we have learned from., 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.
The story begins in the distant future in the far reaches of the galaxy. The Human Galactic Alliance has been constantly fighting for its survival against a grotesque race of beings called Hideous. During an intense battle, the young lieutenant Ledo and his humanoid mobile weapon Chamber are swallowed up into a distortion of time and space.

Waking from his artificially induced hybernation, Ledo realises that he has arrived on Earth, the planet on the lost frontier. On this planet that was completely flooded by the seas, people live in fleets of giant ships, salvaging relics from the seas' depths in order to survive.

Ledo arrives on one of the fleets called Gargantia. With no knowledge of the planet's history or culture, he is forced to live alongside Amy, a 15-year-old girl who serves as a messenger aboard the Gargantia fleet. To Ledo, who has lived a life where he knows nothing but fighting, these days of peace continue to surprise him.

Darkness lurks everywhere, in every human heart, and sometimes it takes just a second of weakness for it to take root. For Kasuga Takao, that germination begins when his obsession with his beautiful classmate Nanako meets the opportunity to borrow her used gym clothes. Unfortunately, his loathsome act of laundry theft is witnessed by Nakamura, the strange girl who sits behind him in class. Soon, Nakamura's own dark obsessions begin to hook their twisted tendrils into Takao's miserable existence. Blackmailed into a contract under the threat of having his guilt revealed to his entire class, the former bookworm who could spend hours reading Beaudelaire's The Flowers of Evil now finds himself entwined in Nakamura's growing fantasies as she leads him down the garden path to damnation. As their blossoming relationship becomes ever darker, even the seemingly innocent Nanako is pulled into the nightmare. Just what are Nakamura's ultimate plans, and will the increasingly trapped Takao really be willing to carry them out? What you sow, you must ultimately reap, and there's certain to be a harrowing harvest ahead in FLOWERS OF EVIL!

Fukumune Iria announces over the school's speaker system that the swimming pool is finally open tomorrow, and that she has prepared a special event for everyone: the Momozono Academy's Swimsuit Contest. Lisara Restall finds this highly suspicious and would prefer to continue her mission to locate the other six special people. Kaga Ryousuke thinks it is a great idea. And the rest of the male class is ecstatic, having voted for their preferred female contestants: Lisara Restall, Ookura Mina, Cule Zeria, and Fukumune Iria. All this is just a ploy by Fukumune, though, to find out who is more popular, Lisara or herself. Should Lisara win, she will get information about the other members of the Eight Misfits, and thus Lisara grudgingly accepts the challenge.

And so, in preparation for the contest, Ryousuke selflessly offers to coach — top of her class at the Grimworld's Reaper Training Academy — Lisara on how to win in a skimpy swimsuit...

* Based on the light novel series written by Tachibana Koushi and illustrated by Tsunako.

"30 years ago a large Spacequake occurred in Eurasia. 150 million people died and human life and infrastructure was laid to waste.
Spacequakes: A destructive phenomenon of unknown origin. Like the name says, it is a void which destroys everything in and around it. An unexplainable disaster. It has been thirty years after the apocalyptic Spacequake, in the six months that followed smaller scale Spacequakes occurred all over the planet. Japan, the place where I live, also faces similar occurrences. It is known as the South Kanto Void Zone. Twenty five years had passed without anything happening. But suddenly, five years ago, it started again, around the Tenguushi City area. This phenomenon increased by the day, and these occurrences seem to be centred around Japan." — Itsuka Shidou

As another Spacequake is about to hit the town, Itsuka Shidou and his class run for the shelters. Then he remembers how insistent his sister Kotori was about their meal at a family restaurant. He rushes back out into the open, when locating her GPS signal at said restaurant, frantically rushing to save her. When a Spacequake hits nearby, Shidou discovers a non-human girl, a Spirit named Yatogami Tooka, at the epicentre of the quake. Tooka asks him if he is also here to kill her. Still confused, several girls in combat suits, the Anti-Spirits Team (AST), among them his genius of a classmate Tobiichi Origami, attack Tooka. Shidou loses consciousness, awakening in sickbay, on board the Fraxinus, a floating ship located 15,000 metres above Tenguushi City.

The commander of this ship and the ongoing operation is none other than Shidou's sister Kotori! As she explains, when the Spirits drop down to Earth, this usually ends in a Spacequake occurrence. There are only two ways to stop a Spirit: one is to go on the offensive and kill it (rarely succeeds), the other, of all things, is to go on a date with the Spirit girl... and that will be Shidou's responsibility!

But along with old foes, come new: The Forge Resistance, a manufacture bent on destroying the world with Wild Core Bombs; The S.T.O.R.M. Strike Squad, a team which could be considered the anti version of Team Core-Tech handpicked by Charlemagne; The Hand of Destiny, a team of century-old tribes who have hidden from the world underground long ago; and Six, a teenager clone of Dr. Klispe, now on Team Core-Tech's tail. Chase and his friends are ready to take the heat, but as the battle becomes tougher, the team must face new problems and must come to connect to their monsunos more than ever before.

Advances in genetic engineering research allow humans to adapt to the new frontier, leading to the advent of evolved children.

* Based on a light novel series of the same name by Fushimi Tsukasa, illustrated by Kanzaki Hiro.

Kousaka Kyousuke, a normal seventeen-year-old high school student, had not gotten along with his fourteen-year-old sister, Kirino, in years. For longer than he could remember, Kirino had ignored him entirely and even abused him. It seemed their relationship would continue that way forever.

However, one day he found out that Kirino was secretly addicted to anime, manga and visual novels, including adult games, and had a gigantic collection of them all. Having discovered her secret, he was forced into a long chain of events that included helping hide it all, but would lead him to help her learn to deal with her hobby in a better way, including eventually finding real-life friends with similar tastes, and with whom he, too, would get acquainted. Several months passed.

The time spent so far may be fairly long time for their ages, but still little has changed. Kirino is still less than nice to her brother, her inability to deal with her hobby properly has not quite subsided, and she is still very passionate about her favourite anime, Hoshikuzu Witch Meruru (Stardust Witch Meruru), and her adult games. While now Kyousuke has means of reaching some of her friends, a few of whom are also his friends, her behaviour still forces him into dealing with a lot of unexpected trouble. Meanwhile, it could be said that, among her friends, there are one or two who might be interested in being more than just friends with him... Or could it?

Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by titans. Titans are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of titans.

Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a titan in over 100 years. Teenage boy Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a super titan that appears out of thin air. As the smaller titans flood the city, the two kids watch in horror as their mother is eaten alive. Eren vows that he will murder every single titan and take revenge for all of mankind.

Colleges also have clubs. There is the element of social commentary, making it clear that you have to join a club. Since self-founded clubs need at least 3 members, the desperate search and advertising for new members can be cause for hilarity in anime., 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., 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., shoujo aiShoujo Ai means girls love, and as such it explores what happens when two girls (or women) fall in love. This is not to be mistaken for Yuri 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 graphic sex. The male version is Shounen Ai. Cute girls doing cute things (CGDCT) is often mistaken as low level Yuri or Shoujo Ai. If there is no Yuri or Shoujo Ai subtext, i.e. if there is no romantic subtext, only tag CGDCT.
* Based on the 4-koma manga by Mikami Komata.

It is the first day of high school for the level-headed Yui. Wearing her new school uniform for the first time, she does not look forward to the anticipated teasing by her best friends: the mischievous energetic Yuzuko and the sleepy-head Yukari.

About to attend the enrolment ceremony at school, the first-year high school students are delighted to discover that they made it into the same class. But as freshmen they are expected to take part in club activities, but what club should they choose? They note that the Data Processing Club has zero members, situated in a small cosy room with two workstations. Their teacher and also the DPC's club advisor is Matsumoto Yoriko, who the girls lovingly call Mom, even though she is not even 30 years old yet.

The girls decide to join the Data Processing Club, giving them many strange topics to look up and talk about. No wordplay can be too strange not to be enjoyed by this close group of friends.

* Based on the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun manga written by Kamachi Kazuma and illustrated by Fuyukawa Motoi, which in itself is a spin-off of the light novel, manga and anime series Toaru Majutsu no Index.

Academy City is the home to circa 2.3 million citizens, about 80% of whom are students working to develop psychic powers and advanced technology. Students are ranked according to levels corresponding to their psychic powers: those without any are ranked at Level 0, and those with some manner of powers progress from Level 1, the weakest, to Level 5, the strongest. Only seven students in the whole city are ranked Level 5, and these seven are ranked among themselves as well.

Electro-master Misaka Mikoto is a headstrong Level 5 esper, ranked third in the city. Her perverted and passionate roommate, Shirai Kuroko, is a Level 4 Teleporter and a member of law enforcement and public safety corps Judgment. Uiharu Kazari is Kuroko's shy Level 1 partner at Judgment and a specialist at hacking and information gathering. Saten Ruiko is Kazari's mischievous friend who has a habit of flipping the latter's skirt to find out what color of underwear she is currently wearing, much to her chagrin, and a Level 0.

In this city where supernatural powers abound and urban legends are an integral part of daily life, there is never a dull day, and things are about to get more exciting again, not necessarily in a desirable way. The latest and greatest urban legends talk about money cards hidden all over the city and some mysterious project that involves clones. Having once agreed to cede her DNA map to a research that aimed to cure a form of muscular dystrophy, Mikoto isn't any pleased to hear about that project, fearing that these clones may be hers.

She sets out to investigate the case, and her preliminary results show that she was indeed considered for the project, but the city's supercomputer, Tree Diagram, indicated that her clones would be far weaker than herself. Mikoto is relieved, but not for long, as she is about to discover many sleep-depriving truths about the cloning project. Meanwhile, just what are those money cards about, and, more importantly, are they anyhow related to the clones?

In Japanese, however, it is a catch-all term for all things anyhow sexual in nature, mild or otherwise., haremThree or more characters, generally female, are under the influence of one character, normally male. Their interactions are romantically or sexually loaded. The female characters often draw heavily from stock archetypes. Sexual tones are applied to the lead`s behavior and to the members` depiction.

* Based on the light novel by Sagara Sou with illustrations by Kantoku.

Yokodera Youto, a second-year high school student, is driven by his earthly desires, but due to a false facade he cannot help but put on, no one sees him as a pervert. He very much wishes to live freely and show his real self though.

One day his friend Ponta mentions the Stony Cat Statue on the Lone Cedar Hill that supposedly grants wishes. Youto plans to pray for a life where he no longer puts up a front, dodges questions or tells lies. At the statue, Youto encounters Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, a girl from his high school with her own wish — not to show her real emotions on her face so readily.

Having made light of the Stony Cat's powers results in their wishes being interpreted all too literally: Tsukiko now has no facial expressions at all, and Youto cannot help but say exactly what he is thinking, quickly acquiring the nickname Pervert Prince. And so, to find a way out of this predicament, Tsukiko and Youto form an alliance...
