Kenji is a motorcyclist enthusiast who loves nothing more than to ride around on his motorcycle. He invites Tomomi on a tour of Hakone, but by doing so is introduced to a car driver named "Wednesday's Cinderella", whose Porsche is supposedly haunted by the "devil". Motorcyclists show up every week to try and compete against the driver, but none of them ever win.
Kenji sees this as a challenge and asks a bike shop owner to tune his bike for the purpose of competing against this driver, just for pure fun. The bike shop owner refuses due to past trauma that gets triggered upon the sight of his bike (and due to trauma that the Cinderella driver has), but eventually does so anyway, in the hopes that Kenji can cure the Cinderella driver's trauma by winning.

An old fairy tale gets some new wrinkles in this fanciful animated adaptation. After young Jack is conned into trading his family's prize cow for a handful of beans, he plants them and discovers they produce a magical vine that rises through the clouds. Climbing the beanstalk, Jack encounters a strange and remarkable world ruled by the magical Princess Margaret. The princess is in love with Prince Tulip despite his unattractive features and harsh personality, but as it turns out, this is the work of Madam Noir, an evil witch who has cast a spell on the princess so she will marry Tulip, her only son. Can Jack help the princess avoid this awful fate? Directed by Japanese animator Gisaburo Sugii, this free adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk has won a cult following for its fanciful story and wildly colorful design. 

Based on the literary work of Shikibu Murasaki, The Tale of Genji is a story of the Emperor`s second son born by a courtier. Made a commoner, he served as a retainer to the court.

Based on a short story by the popular children’s writer Kenji Miyazawa, Galactic Railroad offers viewers a slow-paced, dreamlike journey through space and time. When Giovanni, a lonely boy in a hill town, goes to get milk for his ailing mother, he finds himself crossing the Milky Way on a faster-than-light steam railroad. The stations he visits in various constellations, like the planets explored by St. Exupery’s Little Prince, offer curious adventures and an assortment of human "types." Reality and fantasy blur aboard the train, and its travels across the light-years sometimes suggests the journey through life. The characters are depicted as cats, presumably to avoid the problems of animating humans. <br><br>
