Boogiepop and Others - S01

Whispers pass among the girls of Shinyo Academy about a strange supernatural being. That being is Boogiepop, a Shinigami said to kill people at the peak of their beauty before it fades. Few know his real nature: a guardian who, between long sleeps, appears as the alter ego of a high school girl named Touka Miyashita to fight off "the enemies of the world." Now a series of mysterious disappearances, which the school assumes are just runaways, has woken Boogiepop. But somewhere in the academy, a threatening creature hides, waiting for the right moment to strike. Boogiepop wa Warawanai quietly explores the built-in links between human beings and how they perceive time, while digging into its characters' tangled relationships, emotions, memories, and pasts.
