Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, sci-fi fans and animation lovers. If you loved Moonlighting, start here.
The mood
Tense and unsettling.
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 5 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

On August 16, midway through a seemingly endless summer vacation, middle school third-year student Nagara, transfer student Nozomi, classmates Mizuho, Asakaze and their entire class are suddenly transported from their tranquil lives to a school adrift in an alternate dimension. They must survive with the super powers that have awakened within them.
