Summary:
"On November 22, 2010 ten missiles strike Japan. However, this unprecedented terrorist act, later to be called as "Careless Monday," does not result in any apparent victims, and is soon forgotten by almost everyone. Then, 3 months later... Saki Morimi is a young woman currently in the United States of America on her graduation trip. But just when she is in front of the White House, Washington DC, she gets into trouble, and only the unexpected intervention of one of her fellow countrymen saves her. However, this man, who introduces himself as Akira Takizawa, is a complete mystery. He appears to have lost his memory. and he is stark naked, except for the gun he holds in one hand, and the mobile phone he's holding with the other hand. A phone that is charged with 8,200,000,000 yen in digital cash." - http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encycloped...me.php?id=10474

Length:
11 episodes + 1 movie

So far there are 3 episodes out. It's pretty interesting and fresh, not like your typical anime and keeps you interested. Not to mention the art directing and animation in general is just beautiful. smile.gif

(Not sure if I'm allowed to post links to where to watch it, if it's ok, let me know.)

this is the most interesting show to me this season. the mystery is pretty intriguing. i like all the other things it has going for it too, like the director, OP and ED, actual english voice actors, character designs, etc.

I just hate weekly waits, so I'm going to wait until it's over and watch it in one go.
but i did watch the first 2 episodes just for curiosity sake (honey and clover was very good!) and i really, super, really liked it XD
their ending credit is interesting to watch~

The story and setting sounds like a good start. Don't follow IG Production too much but I'm thinking of trying this show. Now how long has it been out for?

I've just begun with the first episode. Quite a start it's got. There are stuff about this show that I think should be cleared up.

Why does this anime look like Honey and Clover? Feels like the same style. Not that I'm trying to make it out to be a bad thing.

This series is amazing! It is definately the big surprise for me this season. I didnt think much of it when i saw the trailers but now I'm hooked!
so far, the production quality has been amazing and the story is very intriguing. Plus, the choice of OP and ED really fit the artistic mood of the show, especially with the kinetic typography in the OP. I think they've done a great job with it so far.

Ive been wanting to watch this since the trailers~ I love the OP. Haha. So far this series is not disappointing. I hope the ending isn't either but I'm doubting it will.
