Excel Saga

Excel Saga (Japanese: エクセル♥サーガ, Hepburn: Ekuseru Sāga) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kōshi Rikudō. It was serialized in Shōnen Gahōsha's seinen manga magazine Young King OURs from 1996 to 2011, and its individual chapters were collected and published in 27 tankōbon volumes . The series follows the attempts of Across, a "secret ideological organization", to conquer the city of Fukuoka as a first step towards world domination. The title character of the series, Excel, is a key member of the group who is working towards completing this goal, while the city is being defended by a shadowy government agency led by Dr. Kabapu. The manga was adapted into an anime television series by Victor Entertainment. Directed by Shinichi Watanabe and animated by J.C.Staff, the series was broadcast on TV Tokyo from October 1999 to March 2000. TV Tokyo aired 25 of its 26 episodes. The finale was deemed too violent, obscene, and lengthy for broadcast on Japanese television and was only included in DVD release of the series.
