Language: Japanese

Episodes: 52

Release Date: 2005

Synopsis:

The story is set in the "Dark Ages", a term referring to the time since Vandels appeared and started attacking humans. Beet is a boy who dreams of joining the "Zenon Warriors", a group of "Vandel Busters" who are considered to be the strongest on the continent. When the group comes to protect his village from the Vandel, Beltorze, Beet tries to join them but is rejected.

When Beltorze appears, the Zenon Warriors seem to have the upper hand until Beet cheers them on, causing the Vandel to notice his presence. Beltorze attacks Beet, and the Zenon Warriors are forced to drop formation to help him. Beltorze uses that moment to attack again, which mortally wounds all of them. Hidden in the smoke, the Zenon Warriors decide to rescue Beet’s life by putting their life force into their “Saiga” and giving them to Beet.

When Beet complains and asks them why they are doing this, it is revealed that Zenon is Beet’s brother. The now weaponless Zenon Warriors then emerge from the smoke and continue to attack Beltorze. When Beet regains consciousness, both Beltorze and the Zenon Warriors are gone. Guilt-ridden and sad, he cries and vows to destroy all the Vandels and end the Dark Ages. He then goes on a three-year training expedition.

His childhood friend, Poala, who Beet keeps impressing that she is going to marry him, later joins Beet and they form the “Beet Warriors”. As the story continues more is learned about the fight between the Zenon Warriors and Beltorze and the fantasy world of Beet is expanded on.

Rating: Your turn to rate! ^-^

Personal Note:

A very interesting episodic animation that is unique for its style of story telling. Although the last episode becomes a bit hard to follow,the connections between the episodes are very interesting. The director is Makoto Shinkai who has become internationally well known for his earlier animation in 2004; “The Place Promised in Our Early Days” ,and unlike his previous films which were mostly Sci-Fi, this time he has chosen a romantic story. It’s a good animation and I believe you will enjoy watching it.

Subtitle: English (Soft-subbed)

Release Date: 2005

Genre: Drama / Romance

Synopsis:

The main character is Hiroshi Suzutani (played by Hideaki Ito), a 30 year-old advertising executive who returns on business to his childhood hometown of Moji in Kyushu. Also on the airplane are an elderly blind woman, a skittish college professor (Kankuro Kudo), and a 19 year-old yakuza thug named Nunokawa (Ryo Katsuji) who is hiding out following a failed hit assignment.

Visiting Moji for the first time in decades, Hiroshi discovers that the port city is exactly as he remembers it; the buildings, the narrow streets, and even the inn his grandmother once owned are completely unchanged. While standing outside his old home, Hiroshi encounters a young boy and is stunned to see it is his 10 year-old self, Hiro (Ryo Tomioka).

As he recovers from his shock at a nearby restaurant, Hiroshi is tracked down by Nunokawa. The pair attempt to piece things together and soon realize they've somehow been transported back in time twenty years. With no idea of how they ended up in 1986 or how they will return to 2006, the two realize there's nothing they can do but settle in and make the most of their circumstances.

Nunokawa returns to his criminal roots and Hiroshi takes a job at the inn, rooming with his younger self. The boy Hiro is initially distrustful of the strange man who knows such much about his inner thoughts and feelings, but gradually the two develop a strong bond of trust. Hiroshi also delights in spending time with his unsuspecting grandmother (Chieko Baisho) and a beautiful young violinist named Kazumi (Mimura) who befriended him as a child but had died from a mysterious illness.

• Hideaki Ito as Hiroshi Suzutani
