Weiß Kreuz originated from radios then finally developed into an anime. It's composed of 24 episodes, started May 8, 1998 then ended on September _ _, 1998 (?). This anime is considered violent because it involves dangerous stunts, merciless killing and dealing with revenge and treachery. Because of that it was aired every Wednesday nights on TV Tokyo.

Featuring four guys whose pasts were troubled by one guy whom they seek revenge upon, Reiji Takatori. They take their cases from their mysterious commander and regarded them not as a duty but an urge to kill for vengeance. This very reason links them, making a team composed of four assassins - Ran, Youji, Ken and Omi. Unique plot, unique charas appeals to those who loves a new kind of skit.
