While most of Amberground remains blanketed by perpetual darkness, the capital city of Akatsuki basks in the light of an artificial sun. But as Lag Seeing's investigations deliver him to the doorstep of Houdi Franklin, survivor of an ill-fated airship journey on the infamous Day of the Flicker, the secrets behind the light in the sky begin to cast dangerous shadows on the Letter Bee's future. Yet the death and blindness unleashed by the abomination in the heavens are only the first salvos in Lag's greatest series of challenges to date. The molten Gaichuu monster Cabernet is still on the loose, wreaking havoc and destruction. The sinister organization Reverse has agents working behind the scenes everywhere, attempting to undo the fabric that holds Amberground's society together. The Bee Hive, headquarters of the Letter Bees, is itself abuzz with treachery, and the restoration of Gauche's memory may be about to come back on them as a double-edged sword. Can Lag, Niche and Steak cancel out each of these incoming dangers and return them to their senders? the answers await in the final, illuminating collection of TEGAMI BACHI: LETTER BEE REVERSE!

Love Letters IV
This wholly remarkable anime is like nothing I have ever seen. In a sharply socially divided twilight world, illuminated only by a tiny artificial sun hovering over the unapproachable for most people wealthy district, communication is largely restricted to letters delivered through dangerous Gaichu monsters by armed postal carriers called Letter Bees. The hero is Lag Seeing, a boy who as a child was delivered like a letter to his aunt after his mother was sort of kidnapped, and though he put a lot of fight into it was so impressed by the Letter Bee who delivered him, Gauche Suede, that he ends up choosing to become a Letter Bee himself. But when he arrives at the Letter Bee Headquarters several years later, he is shocked to learn that the man who delivered him and inspired him has disappeared.Though there are a lot of filler episodes in which Lag determinedly delivers letters and/or reveals the memories associated with said letters or other objects, the main focus in the first season is on figuring out how the world works and in the second season is dealing with a group of terrorists known as Reverse. Problems? At the end of this rousing adventure, you will realize that nowhere near all the mysteries have been solved; in particular Lag never gets an answer to his most important question: what happened to his mother and why!Note: The 2 seasons of 25 episodes each series is available in 4 sets of 3 DVD’s each: Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee Season 1, Collection 1 , Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee Season 1, Collection 2 , Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee Reverse Season 2, Collection 1 ,Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee Reverse Season 2, Collection 2.Note: The episodes are shorter than you are used to because each one is associated with an entirely comic extremely short Letter Bee Academy episode that makes fun of things in the main episode, but these short bits are stored separately on each disc under the Special Features.Note: The series is available only in English subtitles; there is no English voice acting.

One of the best TV anime in recent years
Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee makes use of a lot of the elements that make a good anime: Engaging characters, an original plot, comedy, drama, cool action scenes, and of course, crazy hair! I need not expound on the plot, as you already have a decent product description, so I'll spare you of that.The show is beautifully drawn, with an equally beautiful color palette to go with it and as mentioned, the action scenes, while not as frequent as in other anime, are fun to watch. Tegami Bachi's biggest fault animation-wise, however, are the CGI Gaichuu (gaint armored bugs), which look horribly out of place in their (mostly) 2D animated world. But the writing makes up for it.This is a shounen series (aimed at teenage boys), so expect some action violence, a little profanity, and the occasional immodestly-dressed girl. Later episodes also have some nudity, but the naughty bits are covered up. There's also at least one Letter Bee Academy short that has a bit of off-color humor. The packaging says TV-PG, which more or less translates to PG-13.Overall, I enjoyed this anime very much.
