About Children of the Whales

Here is what Children of the Whales (Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau) is about, retold in plain terms: a fantasy, super power and mystery anime by J.C.Staff (2017). At its core: In a realm covered by an endless sea of sand, there sails an island known as the Mud Whale. In its interior lies a long-lost town, where the majority of its inhabitants are said to be "Marked," a double-edged trait that grants them supernatural abilities at the cost of an untimely death.

Next up: Chakuro is the village archivist; young and curious, he spends his time documenting the discovery of newfound islands. Each one is like the rest—abandoned save for the remnants of those who lived there long ago. For the first time in six months, another island crosses the horizon, so Chakuro and his companions join the scouting group.

As a fantasy title, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. Think of it as a pick for fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds.
