An injured man named Hakuoro is found unconscious in the forest by Eruruu, grand daughter of the local healer Tuskuru. He awakens to find a mask attached to his face and that he lacks any memories of his past. He quickly rises in importance because he is seen as a natural leader who helps those in need.
Hakuoro has lost his memory after succumbing to serious injuries; but thanks to a elderly woman and her granddaughter Eruruu, he is nursed back to health. His face is covered by a strange irremovable mask and he occasionally sees beastly visions. Eruruu now cares for him as he becomes accustomed to the village and its inhabitants who all bear strange ears (the women have tails too). Though these people venerate the forces of nature, desecration of an alter forces them to take drastic measures to preserve their lives from the wrath of Mutikapa-sama, guardian of the forest.

The war between England and the Danes grows worse with each passing year. Death has become commonplace, and the viking mercenaries are loving every moment of it. Allying with either side will cause a massive swing in the balance of power, and the vikings are happy to make names for themselves and take any spoils they earn along the way.

Welcome to the N.H.K. (Dub)
Satou Tatsuhiro, 22 years old, thinks that everything that happens around him is a conspiracy. He even figured out who is behind it all: The NHK, an evil secret company.
"When you think anime, you think otaku. When you think otaku, you think people that dislike other people. Those people become hikikomori (people who shut themselves in)". So Satou manages to uncover the plot of The NHK (stands for Nihon Hikikomori Kyokai), after three years of shutting himself in (and rapidly approaching the fourth).
In reality, he is nothing more than a NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training), desperately in need of a cure from that "disease". He wants to break out from the curse, but going out and getting a job is frightening enough for him. That is until he gets selected for a "project"; it is a plan to help hikikomori like him in facing the reality of this world.

Satou Tatsuhiro, a 22 year old young man, is a NEET (Not in Employment, Education, or Training) and a hikikomori (meaning acute social withdrawal). He believes everything around him is a conspiracy, including the reason why many people, himself included, become hikikomori.
Due to this, Satou creates a strange conspiracy theory which includes the Nihon Hikikomori Ky?kai (NHK), a secret organization with the intention of producing a hikikomori filled world. Satou intends to break free from the NHK’s clutches, but cannot, since he finds it too frightening to go outdoors by himself; that is, until he meets Misaki Nakahara, who selects Satou for her “project” that she claims will cure him of his hikikomori ways.

X-Men Evolution
X-men Evolution scales back to the time when our superheroes were still in their teens and unknowingly awaiting a significant adventure that bends their life path...
The movie takes its audience back to the sweet memories of the 90s when cartoons were pieces of art that engraved the awesome childhood onto one’s mind. The X-men series was an exceptional anime series at the time with kids forgetting everything else and getting engrossed into the world of superheroes and supernatural powers. X-men Evolution was a very famous name back then. The series has received profound compliments and favor from the audience of various age groups.
X-men Evolution scales back to the time when our superheroes were still in their teens and unknowingly awaiting a significant adventure that bends their life path. The series setting was Bayville, a fictionalized town in New York, where our beloved protagonists went to school and dealt with everyday stuff. Each of the episodes of the series was made in an attempt to be individualized, in order to avoid making Continuity Lock-Out, yet still holding some bonds with the other episodes and with the overall story. The script and story of the episodes were carefully built to keep the hardcore audience entertained, all the same time catching the attention from the new audience and leading them to the marvelous Marvel world. And it worked like a charm! Audience were very fascinated and intrigued with the supernatural powers as well as the value offered to them from the show, such as “Great power comes with great responsibility” and peace goals. Throughout the episodes of the series, X-men officially became one of the most idolized characters by children, especially the protagonists playing in the show. Many of us are now recalling the days when we sat in front of the TV waiting solely for this gem and felt so satisfied, and disappointed at the same time when an episode ends (good fun should never end).
The well-developed plot of the series is just one of the things that make this series an engraving in minds of generations. The sound system, alongside with animation techniques and director’s skills, has once set up the standards for “good show” back then. X-men Evolution soundtracks were very catchy and appealing. It has the vocal depth and the intonation in lines, combined with the script mentioned above, making the dialogues even more impressive and memorable. Some said that this series has gained great popularity ever since its release on the TV up till now also thanks to its being “real” in animation, effects and other side matters. The superheroes, the mayhem, the adventures and life portrayed in the series are of “real” influence over the audience thanks for the fluid animation of characters and special cartoon effects well performed in the show.
All in all, X-men Evolution is a childhood-calling series that sets us back to our simple and happy days watching TV when the cartoons were still excellent and meaningful. We want our sweet days back, and we want to get back to our sweet days watching X-men Evolution every weekend and dreaming of fighting side-by-side Prof. X against the cohort of Magneto. Now we can only watch high quality anime online to collect pieces of our childhood. Such a significant and valuable show like X-men Evolution should never be forgotten or ignored.
