For those who haven’t been checking Madman Entertainment’s new AnimeLab streaming service recently, the company have begun to simulcast the new science fantasy anime Tokyo ESP. Tokyo ESP is a new series from the creative mind of Hajime Segawa, creator of Ga-Rei-Zero, with new episodes to begin streaming every week on Friday.
Rinka is an extremely poor high school girl, living with her father in modern Tokyo. On her way home from school one day, she encounters a “flying” penguin and chases it to the top of the Sky Tree, only to have fish suddenly appear before her “swimming” in thin air: one of which passes through her, causing her to pass out.
When Rinka awakes, she has developed the ability to slip through solid objects, and she soon meets Kyotaro, a fellow high-school student who has also developed strange powers. They decide join forces and use their combined ‘ESP’ powers to fight those who will use their new powers for evil. But they will soon learn that there are bigger forces at play in this psychic showdown.
Tokyo ESP features direction by Masato Takayanagi, with animation produced by the studio XEBEC.
