Plot Summary:
Shiga, a mountaineer, leaves his isolated lodge and returns to Tokyo in order to track down Megumi - the missing daughter of Tatsuko (Shiga's deceased best friend) and Yoriko (whom Shiga has secretly been in love with since before Tatsuko died). Shiga's investigation takes him into the world of "compensated dating" and disaffected teens and what he discovers there suggests that Megumi may have been abducted by a paedophile with a great deal of power and influence. In order to save the girl and regain the self-respect he lost when his best friend died, Shiga must break through the wall of silence and do what the police dare not.

A wolf goddess who no longer feels needed takes on humanoid form to accompany a traveling merchant in this surprisingly mature, and very different, fantasy series. The naked wolf girl might get your attention, but the wonderful character dynamics and unique plots will keep you coming back.
Other than a waning of the first set's novelty, nothing has changed. Which is a good thing. Energetic and occasionally gut-
Doesn't rectify its shortcomings so much as it steamrolls them with brute narrative force. A propulsive ending to an often uneven first season.
Despite a shaky start, the first half of this light-
Clannad After Story Sub.DVD 2
Tomoya and Nagisa start formally building their lives and family together, but tragedy awaits, as this Key/Visual Art's title concludes. Though generally well-written and very emotionally powerful, the series pushes its drama too far and too hard, requiring a cop-out ending that will disappoint some.

Yes, it is exactly about a boy who must use his amazing powers to save the world, but such a clichéd description doesn't begin to explain the surprising layers of depth in this historical adventure.
