Tokyo ESP English Sub & Dub

About Tokyo ESP

Tokyo ESP (東京ESP) blends action, fantasy and supernatural by Xebec (2014). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: 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.

From there, 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.

As an action title, 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. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Xebec, so the studio's house style defines how Tokyo ESP looks and moves on screen. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.1/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Minori Chihara as Kagura Tsuchimiya, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2014, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
