Chakuro is the 14-year-old archivist of the Mud Whale, a nigh-utopian island that floats across the surface of an endless sea of sand. Nine in ten of the inhabitants of the Mud Whale have been blessed and cursed with the ability to use saimia, special powers that doom them to an early death. Chakuro and his friends have stumbled across other islands, but they have never met, seen, or even heard of a human who wasn't from their own. One day, Chakuro visits an island as large as the Mud Whale and meets a girl who will change his destiny.

"This anime snuck up on me. I went into it very unsure of how I'd like it and ended up attached to every single character. The world is so interesting! I want to learn more and more! I immediately gave them all nick names and love even the villains! The animation is so pretty... I'll never get over it. All the characters are good. They all are. Such variety too! I can't explain my infatuation with this anime but it's there."

"Can be slow from time to time but the mystery of the world is interesting. Plus there’s only so many high fantasy anime. "
