Kunyan is just a girl with a talent for getting herself into improbably bad situations. Each episode begins with her stuck in a bizarre and physically painful position. It doesn't really matter how she got to that point - as far as we know she just has an instinct for this sort of thing. What matters is how she can get out of them. Faced with these challenges, she must use strength, skill, the laws of physics, and what little wits she has to extricate herself - preferably after much trial and error and ultimately in the most difficult way possible.

In the Taishou Roman period, a Steel Angel is an android that has an Angel Heart created by powerful magic. In other words a Steel Angel is a creature of both science and magic.

Kurumi is the first Steel Angel, and she is awakened when Nakahito kisses her. Nakahito is the second child of Onmyoudou Shuke (a house of a Japanese Yin and Yang spiritual leader). Kurumi has so much affection for him that she calls him "my master", and only follows his orders. Now, Nakahito, a boy with a gentle heart, and Kurumi, an android with an Angel Heart and incredible power, join forces. And when the second Steel Angel Saki, the third Steel Angel Karinka appear, things really start to mix up...

Omishi Magical Theater: Risky Safety is a rather mild shoujo-esque series from (bizarrely enough) Omishi Rei, the creator of the somewhat perverse Bakuretsu Hunters, to which it is not even remotely similar. Mild is the operative word here, as there is virtually no action to speak of, very little music, or even much dialogue. In fact, the series is built entirely on visual cuteness and lots of introspection, leading me to believe that it's probably much better suited to the manga version, and that you might have a hard time getting into the anime.

Katusragi Moe was feeling blue one day, when a tiny little death god appeared before her and attempted to kill her. Fortunately for her he didn't have much experience at his job, and in a moment of her happiness was suddenly replaced by an equally tiny angel. As it turns out, Risky and Safety are both apprentices in their respective jobs, and as their final challenge must share a body and attempt to win their full title by taking or protecting souls, respectively. Of course that makes life kind of difficult for them, and for everyone around them...

Born in a Bunraku family, Tachibana Sakon is trained to become a Bunraku puppet master. With a pretty face, timid character and such dependency on his puppet friend Ukon, no one would expect that he is the one his policewoman aunt Kaoruko would turn to when she tries to solve seemingly perfect crimes.

When controlling Ukon, Sakon instantly changes from a timid boy into a quiet, contemplative detective. Quite a contrast to Ukon, an exuberant chatterbox, who is much more into pop stars and talking to girls.

This unlikely pair can untangle the criminal's web of deception, and comprehend the victim's way of thinking. As Sakon's grandfather once said: "Controlling a puppet is like reading the heart. You have to put yourself in the shoes of the one you want to portray."

Shuu tries numerous attempts to communicate with the young girl but she acts rather emotionless and quiet, and hardly acknowledges his presence. After decoding her name from her lips (Lala-Ru) the only other piece of information he finds out about her is her love of watching sunsets. There is a sudden explosion and time stops; Shuu finds himself defending Lala-Ru from abductors in mechanized snakes. After attempting to defend the girl, he is caught in a transportation to the world from which the strangers hail, a wasteland devoid of water and dominated by a red giant star. Lala-Ru possesses a pendant containing a vast reservoir of water, and has the ability to control that water.

Shuu is trapped in this new, harsh reality, and he is beaten and interrogated repeatedly inside the warship commanded by the ruthless, manic dictator, Hamdo. While locked in a cell he meets an abducted girl who introduces herself as Sara Ringwalt of America. Sara's reason for her capture was being mistaken for Lala-Ru by Hamdo's minions. Sara goes through extremely horrific experiences and eventually becomes emotionally scarred. After an assault by an unknown enemy landship, Shuu is forced to join an army of child soldiers; children trained to for the looting of villages, in which they kidnap female villagers for breeding, and conscript orphaned male children into the ever dwindling ranks of Hamdo's army.
