Tanaka Reina, a member of Hello Project's girl band Morning Musume, serves as the inspiration for the main character Reinya, a thief that is the stuff of urban legends.

Tanaka (Onegai My Melody Kirara's title character) will play Reinya, a girl who wears a signboard for the Faminya convenience store near a police station by day. By night, she is a whimsical thief chased by bumbling police officers, led by the handsome Keiji-san ("Detective," Okano Kousuke) and the cool Keibu-san ("Inspector," Youki Sou). ing Reinya on her escapades is her trusty assistant, the mouse Chuutarou (Okano).

content indicatorsThe content indicators branch is intended to be a less geographically specific tool than the `age rating` used by convention, for warning about things that might cause offence. Obviously there is still a degree of subjectivity involved, but hopefully it will prove useful for parents with delicate children, or children with delicate parents.

· violenceViolence is the use of physical force against oneself or another entity, compelling action against one`s will on pain of being hurt. *

· · animal abuseViolence against animals. The humane society will not like this. weightless

dynamicSome of the central structural elements in anime are Plot Continuity, Stereotype Characters and Plot Twists.

· castno description set

· · female protagonistThe anime has a female protagonist. weightless

· episodicAn episodic anime consists of many successive short arcs that are generally 1-2 episodes in length, with strong plot continuity within each arc but generally little continuity from one arc to the next; for long shows (well upwards of 50 episodes), the episode count constraint is less tight. weightless

· randomnessThe anime does not follow a predictable storyline. New, strange, obscure, or otherwise unexpected story elements are introduced at a whim. weightless

elementsNext to Themes setting the backdrop for the protagonists in anime, there are the more detailed plot Elements that centre on character interactions: "What do characters do to each other or what is done to them?". Is it violent Action, an awe-inspiring Adventure in a foreign place, the gripping life of a Detective, a slapstick Comedy, an Ecchi Harem anime, a SciFi epic, or some Fantasy travelling adventure?

· comedyAnime whose central struggle causes hilarious results. These stories are built upon funny characters, situations and events. A comedy anime is laced with humour and sets out to provoke laughter from the audience. Japanese humour can be a bit strange to westerners, so if you`re new to this type of humour, just bear with it; it`ll most likely grow on you if you`re a fan of other kinds of comedy. *

· · absurdist humourSurreal humour is a form of humour predicated on deliberate violations of causal reasoning, producing events and behaviours that are obviously illogical. Constructions of surreal humour tend to involve bizarre juxtapositions, non-sequiturs, irrational or absurd situations, and expressions of nonsense. The humour arises from a subversion of audience`s expectations, so that amusement is founded on unpredictability. Its appeal stems from the situation being exceedingly ridiculous or unlikely. *

· · parodyAnime that imitate other stories (can be from TV, film, books, historical events, ...) for comic effect by exaggerating the style and changing the content of the original. Also known as spoofs. It can also refer to when whole elements of one work are lifted out of their context and reused. *

· · running gag(Bit) character(s) play out a short skit several times during the course of the anime. The skit may or may not be exactly the same but does tend to have the same theme throughout. weightless

· · slapstickSlapstick humour is generally recognized by lots of physical abuse, horseplay and practical jokes. Also often seen are impossible situations, using sounds to illustrate impossible stunts that aren`t shown on-screen and to create tension for audience anticipation. *

· detectiveA detective is an investigator, generally either a member of a law enforcement agency or as an individual working in the capacity of private investigators, tasked with solving crimes and other mysteries, such as disappearances, by examining and evaluating clues and records in order to solve the mystery; for a crime, this would mean uncovering the criminal`s identity and/or whereabouts. *+

· juujinKemono is a Japanese art and character design genre prominently featuring anthropomorphic characters, referred to as juujin. Kemono employs animal traits considered cute and endearing; most kemono characters retain a fundamentally human personality, seldom behaving as the actual animals from which they have been anthropomorphized, instead depicted living as humans. Juujin leans more on the human-looking side when compared to anthropomorphism, which leans more on the animal-looking side. **

· romanceRomance describes a story that deals with love between two or more characters typically also having an optimistic ending. Romance is also a difficulty encountered when creating a harem. *

· · unrequited loveAt least one character has a romantic interest in another one, but the feelings are not returned. This is the cornerstone of all love triangles or love polygons. *

· tropesA trope is a commonly recurring literary and rhetorical devices, motifs or clichés in creative works.

· · adults are uselessFor when adults can`t do anything right.

· · · police are uselessThe civilian law enforcement representatives do not seem to be of much use, when trying to take on the usually vastly superior foes. The "helpless" and often clumsy antics of the police can be used as a comedy element. weightless

· · show within a showA fictional TV (or radio, or stage) show that takes place within an actual TV show; or, occasionally, a fictional instalment or incarnation of an actual show. Many comedies have short one-off gags where they parody existing shows. Example: A large part of Martian Successor Nadesico is centred around the fictional popular anime Gekigangar III, which is being watched by several characters of the Nadesico crew. weightless

originno description set

· Japanese productionno description set weightless

original workWhat the anime is based on! This is given as the original work credit in the OP. Mostly of academic interest, but a useful bit of info, hinting at the possible depth of story.

· mangaManga is the lifeblood that drives the anime industry. Everything and its mother is based on manga. However! There are exceptions where the manga was not the basis for the anime. See also manhua and manhwa. weightless

· · 4-koma mangaA comic-strip format, which generally consists of gag comic strips within four s of equal size ordered from top to bottom. weightless

settingThe setting describes in what time and place an anime takes place. To a certain extent it describes what you can expect from the world in the anime.

· placeThe places the anime can take place in. Includes more specific places such as a country on Earth, as well as more general places such as a dystopia or a mirror world.

· · EarthThe Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is a ball of hot mud, but on the surface it`s cold enough, so most of us live on it (or are supposed to). To its inhabitants, our planet is their home, so, as a species, we cherish it to the point many cultures even to this day deify it. The Earth is the main setting of most fiction, but many titles are set in other places, such as unrelated fantasy worlds, and in a considerable number of fictional titles the Earth is actually destroyed by invaders. ***

· · · AsiaAsia is Earth`s largest and most populous continent. Asia covers an area of 44,579,000 square kilometers. The continent, which has long been home to the majority of the human population, was the site of many of the first civilizations. Asia is notable for not only its overall large size and population, but also dense and large settlements as well as vast barely populated regions within the continent of 4.4 billion people. ***

· · · · JapanJapan is a sovereign island nation in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies off the eastern coast of the Asian mainland and stretches from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and China in the southwest. ***

· timeThis placeholder lists different epochs in human history and more vague but important timelines such as the future, the present and the past.

· · presentSomewhere between past and future. ***

· · seasonIn temperate and subpolar regions, four calendar-based seasons (with their adjectives) are generally recognized: spring (vernal), summer (estival), autumn (autumnal), fall and winter (hibernal).

· · · summerAt least one of the episodes takes place in summer. Think oppressively warm weather, summer vacation, summer school, summer festival, or a visit to the beach. +

technical aspectsIt may sometimes be useful to know about technical aspects of a show, such as information about its broadcasting or censorship. Such information can be found here.

· flash animationMade in Adobe Flash (formerly known as Macromedia Flash), a software package for rich multimedia and Web animations and applications. Very popular on amateur fanproductions (like the ones found in places such as YouTube) weightless

· live-action imageryThis anime incorporates still images and/or video footage of real-world objects and locations into the animation. weightless

· short episodesShort episodes are regular episodes that are much shorter than the standard length. This means up to and including 10 minutes; shows with episodes that are 11 to 20 minutes in length are half-length episodes instead. Not to be confused with multi-segment episodes, which are regular episodes that are split into several short segments (parts), usually with separate titles and independent storylines. weightless

themesThemes describe the very central elements important to the anime stories. They set the backdrop against which the protagonists must face their challenges. Be it School Life, present Daily Life, Military action, Cyberpunk, Law and Order detective work, Sports, or the Underworld. These are only but a few of the more typical backgrounds for anime plots. Add to that a Conspiracy setting with a possible tragic outcome, the Themes span most of the imaginable subject matter relevant to anime.

· crimeThe underworld we talk about here is not to be confused with the place where people are believed to go after they die, but the general term for organized crime. It is a shady world, unknown to most people, where illegal things like murder, smuggling, drug dealing and similar are happening daily. Groups known to be acting in this world are for example the mafia or the yakuza.

· · thieveryno description set **

· law and orderWhere there is "wealth", there are criminals. It is up to the civil law enforcement, i.e. detectives, Police or Special Squads, to keep the lawless activities in the real world or in cyberspace under control. Note: Do not confuse this with Military presence. *

· · special squadsThe Special Squads are called in when the police is completely outclassed, e.g. fighting criminal syndicates. These special forces are trained to combat specific forms of crime, e.g. the anti-cyber-crime division. There are several such squads: Whereas Section 9 of Ghost in the Shell is an official government organisation, there are also "benevolent" vigilante groups like the Knight Sabers (Bubblegum Crisis). Criminal syndicates also have their special forces e.g. "death squads".

· · · shinsengumiThe Shinsengumi were a special police force of the late shogunate period. *

· otaku cultureOtaku (おたく/オタク) is a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime, manga, and video games. A female otaku is occasionally referred to as a fujoshi. (Source: Wikipedia) Here certain aspects of this "fandom" are presented in more detail, e.g. the creation of doujinshi (self-published amateur manga). weightless

episode specific

dateA date is a romantic meeting or outing with a lover or potential lover. A date may also involve more than 2 people, a "tag-team" date; for example, 1 male and 2 females. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 8

flashbackA flashback is a moment where events from the past are recounted. Flashbacks are used primarily to give insight into a character`s mind or to reveal information previously kept from the audience. They normally consist of mostly new content; they are different from and should not be confused with recaps, where old content is shown again for no particular purpose. Generally, to qualify as a flashback, the scene must advance the narrative. The opposite is a flashforward. See also in medias res. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 10

nopanThe character foregoes underwear. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 9
