Those Who Hunt Elves    Three humans are suddenly transported to a fantasy world populated by talking animals, pointy-eared creatures, and people who seem to live in a medieval European setting. However, they are not without their resources - one is a great actress who uses her trade to their advantage, another is a brawny fighter, and the third is a schoolgirl who happens to be a weapons expert. Luckily, the trio also happens to have a fully loaded tank and a barrage of sophisticated weaponry with them. The only thing they need now to to get home! To do this, they must find 5 female elves with special marks on their body - and they'd rather look than ask politely! This humorous series is light on plot but has plenty of laughs.

Those Who Hunt Elves has been released in the US with 12 episodes. To find out more:


3x3 Eyes    Yakumo Fujii is a normal, hard-working high school student. With his father missing for years on an expedition, Yakumo has supported himself by acting as a hostess in a gay bar ... until his fateful encounter with Pai. A strange foreign girl, she carried with her a letter containing Dr. Fujii's last words - claiming that Pai was the last member of the three-eyed race he had spent his life researching. Naturally, Yakumo is highly skeptical, but when a horrible accident occurs, he gives his life to save Pai - literally. In shock, Pai's third eye awakens, and she makes a pact with Yakumo - he will be her eternal slave, an empty shell without a soul, and he would live forever, no matter the damage to his body. Now he must join Pai in her quest to become human, battling demons thirsting for immortality, and along the way, falling in love.

3x3 Eyes is a very successful manga series that is still running after 30+ volumes. It's been made into 2 3-part OAV series. For more information:


Touch    Tatsuya and Kazuya Uesugi are identical twin brothers, but that's where the similarities end! Where Kazuya is hard-working, widely admired in school, and very good in athletics, Tatsuya is his complete opposite - he's lazy, unmotivated, and overlooked in school. But things aren't as simple as they seem. This beautiful series delves into the complex relationship between the two brothers and their old childhood friend Minami Asakura, an unwittingly huge influence on their lives. As Kazuya prepares to go to the National Baseball Championships, Tatsuya must resolve his feelings for both his little brother and Minami. The entire story takes place over several years and combines the characters's bittersweet relationships with fast-paced baseball scenes.

Touch ran for 108 TV episodes and came out with 3 movies. It was based on Mitsuru Adachi's popular manga, which finished in 26 volumes. For more information:
