Plot[edit]

Four young men consisting of Omi Tsukiyono, Ken Hidaka, Youji Kudou, and Aya Fujimiya, are members of a group of assassins called "Weiß". They cover their operations by working at a flower shop during the day and solving/fighting crimes during the night. This is no ordinary group: they kill the murderers, big businessmen, and other assassins that the law cannot touch. Each one is fighting for their own reasons, whether it is for revenge or to help the people that they care about. But they soon realize that there are connections between some of their cases and try to find out what is really going on. They use whatever they can to complete their missions and kill the people that are targeted by Weiß's leader.

Brad Crawford(ブラッド·クロフォード,Buraddo Kurofōdo): Voiced by:Ryoutarou Okiayu(Japanese);Michael Tremain(English); Crawford is the leader of Schwarz. Though Crawford seems to follow commands without so much as a question, he is not someone to be trusted. He is very focused, although what drives him is unknown.

Schuldig(シュルディッヒ,Shurudihhi): Voiced by:Hikaru Midorikawa(Japanese); Jeff Swarthout (English); Bothsadistic and masochisticto an extent, Schuldig enjoys messing with people's heads, which is all too easy given his power oftelepathy.He claims that people's minds taste like honey; however, he also complains that at times he can't tell which thoughts are his.Schuldigmeans "guilty" in German and Dutch. He is 22 in the first anime.^[2]

Nagi Naoe(Trực giang na kỳ,Naoe Nagi): Voiced by:Nozomu Sasaki(Japanese); Chris Fuller (English); Nagi was shunned as a child by the people around him because of histelekineticpowers. He was living on the streets for quite a long time, then taken in by a nurse who led an orphanage. Due to the fact that the nurse actually was using the children living in the orphanage to commit crimes, Weiss was ordered to kill the nurse. Ken, who knew a girl from the orphanage and thereby got to know Nagi as well, was the one to kill the nurse. Nagi witnessed the murder and as a result he made the church collapse by using his telekinetic powers - and from there on hated Ken in specific. He ran off and found shelter at Crawfords, who then took him in. Then he started to work with and for Schwarz to get revenge on both Ken and the world for the way everybody treated him when he was a child. He is very solemn and embittered towards the world. He is 15 in the first anime.^[2]

Farfarello(ファルファレロ,Farufarero): Voiced by:Ryuusei Nakao(Japanese); Rick Mann (English); Called demented by most, his multitude of scars and ability to grin at insane acts of violence toward others and himself makes this accusation seem true. His real name is Jei. When he learned as a child that his real mother was Ruth, the nun who had been his teacher, Jei snapped and murdered his adoptive parents and sister, then blocked out the memory, developing avendettaagainst God andChristians.In theDramatic Imagealbums III and IV, he and Schwarz meets a young woman named Sally Schumars while on the run. She is a timidwitchwho is trying to escape from Rosenkreuz, a group of people with special gifts similar to Schwarz's, and Schwarz has a complicated history with the Rosenkreuz organization. Farfarello and Sally fall in love, one of the main reasons being given is that she makes him feel again. At the end of the fourthDramatic Imagealbum, he and Sally part from Schwarz with Schwarz's sort of "blessing." Farfarello's name comes from one of the demons in Dante'sInferno.He is 20 in the first anime.^[2]

Schön(シェーン,Shēn): Voiced by:Miki Itou(Japanese);Shannon Conley(English); She was once a model, and has more than a healthy appreciation for her own beauty: it is a scratch to the face that angers her the most in one battle. While she seems very self-absorbed, she does not put herself before the rest of Schreient.Schönmeans "beautiful" in German, and her real name is Karen Kitaura.^[3]

Neu(ノイ,Noi): Voiced by:Kotono Mitsuishi(Japanese); Kaitlin O'Neal (English); A strike to her face in one battle breaks her visor and reveals to Yoji the eyes of someone he believed dead: his ex-lover and partner, Asuka. The anime never conclusively states whether she is or is not, but it is confirmed in theAll That Weißofficial artbook that Neu indeed is Asuka. After Youji lost her, she was forced into prostitution, then sold as a guinea pig to Kourin.^[2]In episode sixteen, she uses the name "Kyoko" when she tries to seduce (and then kill) Yoji.Neumeans "new" in German.

Tot(トート,Tōto): Voiced by:Yuko Mizutani(Japanese);Rachael Lillis(English); This seventeen-year-old girl acts much, much younger than she is, talking to her stuffed rabbit and referring to herself in third person, although a definitive reason is never given.

She is involved in a short, sweet love affair with Schwarz's Nagi before her apparent death at the hands of Farfarello.

Anime[edit]

Weiß Kreuz[edit]

Weiß Kreuzis the first of the Weiß anime series. It runs twenty-five episodes and follows Weiß in its mission to "defeat the dark beasts" that haunt Tokyo. The beginning episodes lend some back story to Aya, Ken, and Yoji, and show their motivations for being in Weiß. Omi's history becomes part of the storyline and is delved into halfway through.Weiß Kreuzintroduces Kritiker, Schwarz, Eszett, and Schreient.

Weiß Kreuzuses the character designs created by Kyoko Tsuchiya, and features the lowest quality of animation of the threeWeiß Kreuzanime series.

Because the last two episodes were aired as an hour-long special in Japan, this series is sometimes considered a 24-episode series. TheMedia Blasters'release has the episodes separate. Media Blasters released the series under the nameKnight Hunters(which isTMS Entertainment's international title for the series),^[16]and Anime-Virtual kept the title unchanged for the German release.

Weiß Kreuz OVA: Verbrechen & Strafe[edit]

The secondWeiß Kreuzseries,Verbrechen & Strafe( "Crime & Punishment" in German), is a two-episode OVA that takes place a short time after the end of the anime, and before the events detailed in the last set of Drama CDs. In hiding, Aya, Ken, Yoji and Omi work out of a mobile home, using their flower-selling business as a cover. Their location is never specified, but it is possibly in the area ofYokota Air BaseorCamp Zama,which are both American military bases near Tokyo. Their first mission involves a target by the name of Col. Nichol who evidently has his own enemies in a later target for Weiß and a young man named Akira. However, Ken and Omi decide to decline the mission to kill Akira after they hear Akira's (and his younger sister Kaori's) story. They only want revenge on Nichol for killing their parents several years before. Kaori was also a classmate of Omi's and the only surviving member of her group of friends, all supposedly killed by Nichol. Kritiker doesn't take to Ken and Omi's defection, and amends the mission. Yoji and Aya are instructed to target their teammates as well.

The OVA is notable because of the darker, bloodier storyline and the higher quality of animation compared to the first series.

Weiß Kreuz Glühen[edit]

The third series, calledWeiß Kreuz Glühen(ヴァイスクロイツグリーエン,Vuaisu Kuroitsu Gurīen,"White Cross Glow" in German)is a thirteen-episode series which is set after the OVA. Several of the original Weiß members are not immediately visible; two new ones are introduced in the first episode: namely Sena Izumi and Kyou Aguri. Also, Omi has assumed the position of Persia left by his father. Glühen takes place at Koua Academy, where Weiß are investigating a series of unusual suicides. The animation quality is far higher than the original series. However, the character design is vastly different due to legal disputes with the original character designer, Kyoko Tsuchiya. Schwarz also appears in Glühen; they also have changed appearances due to the lawsuit. Media Blasters released the series under the nameKnight Hunters Eternity(which isTMS Entertainment's international title for the series),^[17]and Anime-Virtual kept the title unchanged for the German release.
