Speed Grapher (スピードグラファー) is a 2005 anime series, created by GONZO Digimation. The series ran for 24 episodes from April to October 2005.
Synopsis
Template:Spoiler Speed Grapher follows the exploits of former war photographer Tatsumi Saiga, who investigates a secret fetish club for the ultra-wealthy. He tries to photograph the club's "goddess", a 15-year-old girl named Kagura, but is discovered. As he is about to be killed, Kagura kisses him, granting him the ability to destroy anything he photographs. Kagura's body fluids can give people bizarre abilities related to their fetishes or obsessions. The story develops as Saiga aims to grant Kagura's desire (her freedom), while on the run from the Secret club and the Tennouzu Group megacorporation that operates it.
Speed Grapher is also an indictment of the capitalism and materialism of Japanese society. Kagura is the daughter of the wealthiest woman in the world, but she is kept prisoner and nearly starved. Her mother bribes any person who tries to help Kagura. Yet, the main villain smokes cigarettes made from 10,000 yen bills and collects play money from board games. Template:Endspoiler
