Brynhildr in the Darkness (Season 1)

"Brynhildr in the Darkness" (極黒のブリュンヒルデ, 2014) — watch the full series online on iFILM. As a child, Murakami had one friend: a girl he called Kuroneko, who died in an accident she caused by trying to prove aliens were real. He barely survived. Now in high school, he still scans the night sky every year — partly guilt, partly a promise he can't take back.

Then a transfer student named Neko Kuroha walks in. Same face, no memories, and abilities that have nothing to do with being human. Directed by Shu Watanabe and adapted from Lynn Okamoto's manga — the same author behind Elfen Lied — the series earns its dark title. It goes to places most school-age action anime avoid, and doesn't look away. Stream every episode of "Brynhildr in the Darkness" on iFILM.
