Battle Programmer Shirase (BPS バトルプログラマーシラセ, Bīpīesu Batoru Puroguramā Shirase?) is an anime TV series aired in 2003 and produced by AIC. The series' story focus is on computers and ecchi comedy.
The original series spans 5 story arcs across 15 episodes of 12 minutes each.
The story of BPS revolves around a "freelance programmer" named Akira Shirase. He's a very talented, yet mysterious computer programmer. Because of his incredible abilities, he's contacted by several individuals (curiously, all of them are very similar persons named Akizuki Kaoru) to do all sorts of strange computer-related hacking/security jobs. He's a very quiet guy who lives alone in a small apartment near his niece's house. At first, the episodes revolved around some freelance jobs that highlighted his abilities - however, later on in the series, characters came back and offered help or plot twists. The school that Shirase had gone to had been hinted throughout the series, and it finally made an appearance in the last episode, when some of the characters began to show their hidden relationships to the others. However, the series was not continued. (Source: Wikipedia)
Akira Shirase (白瀬慧?, voiced by: Nakai Kazuya)
He's the main character of the story. Akira is a very talented computer connoisseur and is known in the hacking world as Battle Programmer Shirase (which is typically shortened to BPS). A genius in computer hacking and security who can do anything on any computer, or phone.
Misao Amano (天野美紗緒?, voiced by: Fukuen Misato)
Misao is Akira's great-niece. She is a very shy girl who loves to spend her time with Akira, whom she often refers to as onii-chan (お兄ちゃん?). She cares for him deeply and it's very common to see her cooking for him or worrying about him. Sometimes, Misao says mau-mau (まうまう?), which doesn't have an actual meaning (this may be a "cute" form of speech the creators added for her to please fans of cute anime girls). Misao looks very young for a 6th grader.
For the offensive part, well.. It all kinda happen unintentionally, and not much elaborated.. or it did.. haha.. funny.. Especially with this kinda response reaction..
Which happened due to some earthquake(or watever reason in the next episodes), causing Shirase and Amano to fall so perfectly in position, perfectly timed for some officer(from wherever company/organization), always name Akizuki, to show up..
Just check out his response to it.. hilarious..
Shirase can hack into a supercomputer just by using a standard handphone...
Unfortunately , I don't know of the anime is available in DVD in any country.. I doubt it, unless you actually go hunt for it in Japan.. Probably u'd get something.. but if u can't. go watch the anime at BPS Episode 1. Look up for the rest of the episodes.. You can also download them by checking out Anime Open.. Hope you will enjoy it as much as i did... hahaha..
