Rins brother Yukio is also riddled with uncertainties after an encounter with an exorcist/demon makes him question his motives and purpose.

Plus it doesn’t help that she’s developing a god-sized crush on her way too pretty guardian fox spirit guy, the cunning and handsome Tomoe!

Do you love racing enough to die for it? Your life is on the line when you race the Redline!
This is a phenomenal spectacle in animation! It is set in the distant future, in a galaxy far away where die hard race fans still compete in supped up cars at death defying speeds to win it all – the glory, the fame and for some, the money. JP is a racer who has racing in his blood. He could be a serious contender but his past and ties to the criminal syndicate force him into having to take the fall in races he dearly longs to give his all to win. However Redline has more than a few surprise and many dangers. For one, the planet the final race is to be held on is a surprise announcement where not the racers or even the planet knows until the announcement. When it is announced to be Roboworld, a military planet that has no desire to hold the race and is fine killing anyone that tries, racers drop out. JP suddenly is given the chance of a lifetime and a chance at the beautiful number 1 racer Sonoshee.
SYNOPSIS:
Remember those nightmares you had as a child, where your toys came to life? That’s the reality that Jun Sakurada suddenly finds himself living in when Shinku arrives in a box. She’s the first of several magical Rozen Maidens to invade the secluded life he has made for himself since refusing to attend school anymore and living the life of a hermit. Worse, he finds himself magically bound to Shinku, his life force powering hers, and she’s not too crazy about the way he’s been living his life.
Unfortunately, fixing everything that’s wrong with Jun is going to have to take a back seat to making sure that Shinku survives the Alice Game, a competition that pits Rozen Maiden against Rozen Maiden for the prize of becoming a real girl, while the losers’ life essence is drained and they become lifeless toys again. In order to win this deadly game, Jun and Shinku will have to find a way to work together – but to do that they’ll have to start trusting each other first!
