For Jun Sakurada, just such an opportunity is presented to him in his darkest hour: a chance to communicate with a future version of himself who did not win the key and bring forth the Rozen Maidens, and a chance to fix the shattered remains of his own world. For Jun-who-did-not-wind, the messages from his younger self represent a beacon of light in his mediocre and disappointing existence. When the adult Jun discovers a box with parts and building instructions for a familiar red dressed doll, the goal becomes clear: revive Shinku in his world to save both worlds from succumbing to the evils of Kirakisho, the seventh Rozen Maiden in a desperate search for a body and master.

SYNOPSIS: Most families have a skeleton or two in the closet, but Marika is understandably shocked to learn that her family has been hiding a skull and crossbones!  The revelation that her late father was a space pirate would have been earthshaking enough, but discovering that he was the captain of the notorious pirate ship Bentenmaru will change Marika’s life forever.  You see, pirating is a family business, and she’s just inherited the position of captain.  So what’s a girl to do?  Well, if you’re a high school student whose prior total naval experience consists of working at the space yacht club, there’s really only one moral dilemma that has to be resolved: are pirates allowed to wear really short mini-skirts?  Get ready for intergalactic buccaneering unlike any you’ve ever seen before as the spaceways get broad-sided by cutting lasses, curvy knaves and the sexiest pirate’s chest ever in Bodacious Space Pirates!

SYNOPSIS: Yasuna Oribe isn’t your typical Japanese high school girl.  For one thing, she’s a little slow on the uptake, and for another, her best friend, Sonya, is actually a highly trained foreign assassin.  Though, as Sonya has the habit of regularly attacking her, perhaps Yasuna’s definition of “best friend” is a bit strange.  However, as noted, Yasuna isn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.  And while Sonya knows precisely what to do with every one of those sharp objects, even she is hard pressed to deal with the day-to-day oddities that seem to fill their class schedule.  Things like: escaped bears, voodoo curses, juggling, and killer mosquitoes.  Not to mention puppet shows.  And just in case Yasuna’s school-life wasn’t weird or hazardous enough, there’s her ninja classmate, Agiri, assassins targeting just about everybody, a mysterious red haired girl with a personal vendetta, and the perils of slipping in the public bath.  They say a little education can be a dangerous thing, but with a school life like this, Yasuna will be lucky to keep breathing past third period in KILL ME BABY!

SYNOPSIS: You don’t necessarily have to wear rose-colored glasses to get a better view of the world; you just have to wear glasses!  At least, that’s the philosophy of Akira Souma, a high school student who breaks humanity into three kinds of people: those who wear glasses, those who don’t, and girls.  Akira’s focus on eyewear has so framed his thoughts that he’s formed a Glasses Club at Himaraya Third Technical High School with the goal of creating X-ray glasses.  Fortunately, his X-ray vision inspires all his glasses wearing (and ridiculously good-looking) friends to join as well, even if it sometimes means making a huge spectacle.  You won’t believe what happens when these sexy techs flex their specs in the series that’s guaranteed to hit the top of the eye charts: MEGANEBU!
