Urushiba Rinka, a fairly normal high school girl, leads a rather penniless life together with her father, her only family. This forces Rinka to work as a waitress after high school to raise money for them to secure rent and food.
One day, she notices a flying penguin, Peggy, and follows it to the Tokyo Skytree, where swarms of glowing fish just swim through thin air. Azuma Kyoutarou, a boy from her school, also happens to be there, confirming that all this is not a hallucination. Contact with one of these fishes causes Rinka to pass out. Surprisingly, when she wakes up again, she has developed the power to move through inanimate objects such as the floor of her apartment. And she is not the only one to gain such extraordinary powers: Kyoutarou can teleport, and her father has developed very strong magnetic powers.
A series of unexplained art robberies puts Rinka and Kyoutarou on that case, using their ESP powers to take on individuals, who have decided to use their powers for evil. This is how they encounter Kuroi Kobushi, the so-called Black Fist, a thief out to make a name for herself using invisibility. However, there is an organization with far grander and more sinister plans employing strong ESP fighters to secure their version of a new world order.

The 1st episode might seem confusing, but keep watching and let the series progress to understand the turn of events. This series is very hero based and has supernatural powers given to random people. The characters meshed well together, both heroes and villains. I'll say this about the "white girl", she sure can take a beating. Hopefully they'll be a 2nd season as there are many unanswered questions still on the table. All in all, if you enjoy hero/supernatural powers/love interest series, this should be a good watch.

fans of superheroes genre might get a kick of this show. interesting concepts, great action sequences.
Fans of deeper storytelling, and character development might find this show disappointing.
My personal opinion is that it felt as a prologue to something rather than a story.

I expected more at the beginning when Ga Rei Zero characters. Turn out that this is a purely super hero anime. It gets actually better at the very end, but it is already the end of it. Perhaps if there is season 2, it will get into deeper of the story.

i jumped onto the hype train and got excited by the first episode, but the rest of the show was a major let down. the inconsistent story destroys whatever potential this series had. as long as you don't expect anything you might enjoy this one.

Interesting idea, nice character, but this anime is one of those where main characters are literally beaten to death(with lot's of blood), while bad characters don't die(and there's no their blood). But it's like the small intro to the very developed story, so let's check what the future brings! It promises to be interesting.

Some limitation(s) may apply, moleA mole, also called beauty mark, beauty spot, beauty patch, and sometimes birthmark, is a type of visible, circumscribed, chronic lesion of the skin or mucosa that may be congenital (present at birth) or acquired. Such marks are sometimes considered an attractive feature, hence the beauty-related names, and they are medically known as nevus (plural: nevi), from naevus, Latin for "birthmark". They are not to be confused with the animals commonly called moles., pleated skirtA pleated skirt is a skirt that contains pleats. Pleats are folds that are pre-defined with stitches and which can be both stylistic and functional. Common examples of specific skirt types with pleats include: school uniforms, tennis skirts, and kilts., ribbon tieA ribbon tie is a ribbon used to tie the collar of a shirt, blouse, or other clothing top. This means that the ribbon, with or without a bow loop, is tying a collar that is cut close to the neck (i.e. not a low-cut collar); otherwise, the ribbon is just a common case of ribbons on clothes. Please see the full description for more detailed instructions on when to apply or not apply this tag., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety., studentA student or pupil is a learner, or someone who attends an educational institution.
