Fantastic Children is an anime that, despite its more 80s/90s art style, ran from 2004 to 2005. It's an original 26 episode story with plot twists galore, and has received high praise from critics.The story begins with the mystery of a group of five strange white haired children, who have been sighted at various points throughout history, stretching from the 1600's to the present day. A detective who has heard of this enigma discovers a strange connection between it and a missing persons case he's been working on. Meanwhile, an island boy embarks on a journey with a mysterious orphaned girl who rarely speaks but is constantly painting pictures of bizarre, incomprehensible landscapes. These plots manage to link firmly together into a complex, deeply moving saga. To explain further would ruin things, but let's just say it's a story that links equal parts adventure, coming of age, mystery, tragedy, history, the fantastic, and romance. Yep, there's quite a bit going on in this one. | |

| Fantastic Children / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Just about every character does this, most notably when they get their memories back, typically taking an entire episode to snap out of it. Seth also gets one after Soran rescues Tina. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Fantastic Children / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: The ending theme song, "Mizu no Madoromi," appears in three languages in the dubs: The dub language (when Aghi sings it to his sister), Japanese (as the first ending theme song), and Russian (as the second ending, because the singer Origa speaks Russian as a first language). In the Japanese version, there are only two, Japanese and Russian. | |

Missing Child | |
| Fantastic Children / int_2de495bb | comment |
Missing Child: Your 5 year old child disappears one night and police specialists are completely sure he / she left willingly. You wait the next 6 years for any news only to be informed that his / her body was just found along with other missing children, who died in mysterious circumstances. If you even accidentally meet your child during these 6 years he / she will immediately run away and disappear again. | |

Reincarnation: All of the main characters except for Cooks, his assistant, and Chitto are reincarnations of Greecians. The Children are Greecian scientists, Gherta is Mel having lost her memories, Helga is Tina, Thoma is Seth. All of these reincarnations except for Soran's were intentional. | |

Reincarnation-Identifying Trait: Having been reincarnated on earth another time, Tina meets a man that looks rather like Soran. She confirms this when she sees her name on his arm in Greecian, the language of their home planet during their previous lives. He responds with a smile. | |

Unexplained Accent: Despite everybody else speaking regular English without any noticeable accent, the English dub has Thoma (and to a lesser extent, his mother and father) speak in some strange unidentifiable accent. | |

Arc Words | |
| Fantastic Children / int_7464705c | comment |
Arc Words: There is a poem that appears several times in the series. It's always spoken aloud, and usually the one reciting it is Aghi. It turns out to be well known in Greecia. There is also an arc picture,◊ which Helga is fixated on and draws constantly. This is the water tower in Greecia, and all of Tina's reincarnations have been artists who drew this picture, although in different styles and with differing degrees of accuracy. | |

Aliens Never Invented Democracy: The people of Greecia have the power to travel to the land of the dead. They can reincarnate themselves and live several lifetimes. They can even put a soul into a mechanical body. Yet they're still a monarchy. They're ruled by a senile and slightly insane king to add extra insult to the injury. | |

Go Mad from the Revelation: Dr. Radcliffe became obsessed with unraveling the mystery of the Children of Befort. Needless to say, the more he found out, the madder he went. He could have been saved a lot of suffering if he knew that his theory was actually as far from the truth as you could get. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Fantastic Children / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: During the episode where Helga stays temporarily at Thoma's home, his mom gives Helga a dress and compliments that Helga "looks like a princess"—which she was in her past life as Princess Tina of Greecia. From the same episode, Thoma's mom tries to read Helga's future through her fortune telling cards, she reads that someone—most likely a sibling—will reveal themselves in Helga's life later. Which turns out to be true, she does have a sibling: a brother named Dumas. | |

Status Quo Is God: At the end of the series, nothing on the grand scheme of things changes. The Children stay on Earth and lose their memories of Greecia, and Helga / Tina and Seth / Thoma don't leave either. This may seem like a Downer Ending, even though most everyone is happy. | |
