Has anyone here heard of an anime called Tegami Bachi before?

...No, I haven't either. Thus, I feel inclined to let you guys all know something(s) interesting.



The boy on the left is Lag; the man in the center is Gauche. Yes, they both look like a certain character from Tutu, I know. But that's not all!!


From good ole Wikipedia:

Lag Seeing
He is a 12 year old boy with a very focused mindset, regardless of what situations he gets into and always focuses on delivering the package. He has a special gun called the Shindanjuu, literally the "heart bullet gun" where he loads a "fragment of heart" into the gun, then fires Akabari (Red Needle) at the target. He is seemingly being able to control the direction of the shot. His spirit amber visualizes memories of an imanimated object. As a child, he was "delivered" by the letter bee Gauche Suede, and was inspired by him to become a letter bee. He is searching for his mother, who was kidnapped to the capital of the country. His left eye is made of red spirit amber, allowing him to better use the Shindanjuu and also allowing him to fire a heart bullet from his own body. He originally has an antique from Campbell, though he receives the Nocturne #12, Gauche's gun. In chapter 29, after Sunny lost her heart to a Gaichuu, Lag's body glowed like spirit amber as he fired a special letter bullet at Noir (Gauche) in hopes of restoring his heart.

Gauche Suede
Subconsciously, Aria says that to fill the void in his heart left by the missing shards of his memories of his mother, he started focusing all his attention on making Sylvette happy.

Gauche's Spirit Amber attack is called Kurobari (Black Needle). During his time as a Letter Bee he owned the Nocturne #12, but his current Shindanjuu is Gymnopédie. (note: Gymnopedie is Kraehe's piano theme music)

Sylvette Suede Voiced by: Nana Mizuki (note: she voices Rue in the Japanese version of Tutu)

Gaichuu: Giant insects covered in jeweled armor, said to be spirit insects that lost their hearts. They live in the dark lands outside of the artificial sunlight and attack anyone who travels along the darkened paths. Each Gaichuu that has appeared thus far in the manga is named after an alcoholic beverage.

Shindan (lit. "Heart Bullet"?): The "fragments of heart" used when firing the Shindanjuu "heart bullet gun."

Letter Bullet (Tegamidan?): A bullet used to convey one's heart to another person. A small letter is written and placed within the bullet, with an address to a specific person on whom the bullet will only work. The bullet also stores more "heart" than a normal heart bullet. This is also a physical cartridge with a red liquid within it.

...Okay, TL;DR--



LOOK! MYTHO PACKS HEAT WHILE STILL LOOKING ADORABLE! =D

*is shot*

BY A HEART BULLET OMG

*is shot by a normal gun*

...Okay I'm done.
