Sawa is a school girl, an orphan, and an assassin. She is being controlled by a corrupt cop who gives her targets to kill, detailing to her the crimes these men have committed in order to justify their death. Some of his power over Sawa has to do with her deceased parents and the promise of revenge. When another orphan, a teenage boy called Oburi, is brought in to assist Sawa, the two teenage killers form a bond of sorts. As they heal each other’s emotional wounds, they begin to dream of a life that would not be spent under the shadows of murder. This gritty story is one of the darker animes that isn't entirely ecchi, except for the completely uncut version which includes many graphic sex scenes. The most commonly released versions of Kite are edited, yet still R-rated, versions. The show begins fairly graphic, showing Sawa assassinating a target; a famous person who really seemed to be kind of a jerk himself anyway. She does her job ruthlessly and without questioning her orders, showing her skill as a world class assassin. It's not until she meets another assassin of the same caliber that she begins to question the situation she is in, and start making more harsh judgments on her handlers. By the end of the show, she has taken a more assertive position, but the ending could be considered tragic, depending on your interpretation. Ani.me's official stream provided by Media Blasters.

Three middle school girls are overjoyed to be soon graduating to high school status, and they sneak into their new high school, a private school, for a peak a day before their admission. But everything starts to get out of control when they meet three other middle schoolers who mistake them for high school students and start calling them Senpai. They run with the mistake, spouting off all kinds of nonsense about what high school is truly like, despite never having experienced it themselves. This causes headaches and angst the next day as all six middle schoolers are sorted into the same high school class ("Bamboo class"). In the first episode a war rages on between these two groups of three newly-minted high school students, culminating with two of them being locked in a room together to do battle. Everyone quickly finds out their original notions about the all female private high school may not be as true as they were thinking. They weren't guaranteed to get a boyfriend right away as they had hoped. Or would they? Fortunately Eriko and her friends are joined by more new friends. They all work hard to get through high school life together.

The Howard Resort, a resort hotel, draws customers from around the world with the lure of potentially winning a massive, unforgettable fortune. Mint Clark is a young girl who comes to the resort with her wealthy grandfather who simply can't resist spending all his time and money gambling at the resort. Her grandfather is wealthy enough to know the resort owner personally, which allows Mint a little bit of behind the scenes access to the resort. In the resort there is, of course, a popular casino that is central to the story. One of its dealers, the beautiful Rio Rollins, called the "Goddess of Victory" in resort promotional ads, is following in the footsteps of her famous mother. To achieve her goal, she is working to gather the legendary Gate card-set, since the person who gathers all 13 Gates is bestowed the title Most Valuable Casino Dealer. Rio is known among patrons as a Goddess who bestows luck on any person in the casino while she is there, even just by simply walking past them. This anime is based on game maker Tecmo's franchise of pachinko slot machines Super Black Jack.
