Seraphim Call

is a Japanese media franchise that first originated as a writers' project hosted by Mediaworks, through the following magazines, Dengeki PC Engine, Dengeki G's Engine and Dengeki G's Magazine.

An anthology anime series was produced by Sunrise which aired on TV Tokyo from October 7th to December 23, 1999.

Overview
The series is considered avant-garde in several respects. For example: it is an anthology of individual stories while most other anime is serialized. Other examples include a surprise ending that comes at the beginning of one of the stories, an episode seen entirely through the eyes of a plush toy, one is largely a Thunderbirds parody, and two nearly identical episodes from individual twin perspectives. The experimentation in plot structure can be very subtle often requiring the viewer to watch each episode twice before noticing it.

Plot
The story takes place in the year 2010, in a futuristic city named Neo-Acropolis, an artificial island in Japan. Among the city's residents are 11 girls, each facing a different dilemma.
