Tokyo ESP has arrived on both Hulu and Crunchyroll, offering a complete 12-episode binge for those looking for a high-concept supernatural thriller. The series centers on Rinka Urushiba, a struggling waitress whose mundane life in Tokyo is upended when she gains telekinetic abilities after encountering a school of glowing, phasing goldfish. Alongside her classmate Kyoutarou Azuma, she must navigate a city where a new class of 'espers' are being weaponized for acts of urban terrorism.
Produced by the now-defunct studio Xebec, the series leans heavily into the chaotic, fast-paced tropes of 2010s action anime. It functions as a grounded-yet-superpowered drama that contrasts the mundane struggles of poverty with the high-stakes politics of a city under siege. With the full series available to stream, it serves as a concise, self-contained watch for fans of the super-power genre who enjoy urban settings and escalating stakes.
