About Tokyo ESP

Looking for background on Tokyo ESP (東京ESP)? This action, fantasy and supernatural series by Xebec (2014) starts out like this. What the story covers: Rinka is a financially struggling high school girl living with her single father in Tokyo. One day, while going home from school, she sees a penguin flying in the sky towards the Tokyo Sky Tree.

Along the way, she chases after it only to find fish swimming in the air! One of the fish goes through Rinka and causes her to pass out. She wakes up to find that she has developed the ability to slip through solid objects.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Kagura Tsuchimiya (Minori Chihara) and Yomi Isayama (Kaoru Mizuhara) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
