Kiba is a fantasy anime by director Hiroshi Koujina about Zed, a 15-year-old boy who lives in a place called “Calm”. He is frustrated by his current situation in life and feels that somewhere out there is a place where he can live more fully. One day, at the invitation of a mysterious wind, Zed dives into a space-time portal, seeking the “answer” that might be there. Riding on the wind, he is transported to a war-torn world where magic users called “Shard Casters” fight endlessly with each other, using magical crystals. With the power of the Shards, the Shard Casters are able to use magic and control monsters called “Spirits”. Fascinated by that power, Zed aims to become a Shard Caster. However, he still doesn’t know that residing in his body is “Amil Gaul”, a mighty Spirit with the power to influence the world’s future.

Five episodes have aired as of this writing. I just saw this show over the weekend and thought it was fantastic; definitely worth checking out!
