This page contains some of the fictional media existing within the Taimanin world.

Some of it shared in their own version of the internet.

## TV Shows

### **Taimanin Five**

It is an in-universe 12 episode anime known by fans as **TiFi** that follows the exploits of fictional Taimanin **Iyama Aragi**. There was a second season called Tokyo Grand Slam, there were also two spin-offs Moegi and Kagero. Both clearly being a spoof of Igawa Asagi and Tokyo Kingdom. Dolores was at Lina's place and got her to watch the entire first season, at first she viewed it as pro-taimanin propaganda but got hooked. This gave her the idea to boost Nomads public image, with a show of their own. The show was a spiritual successor to the unsuccessful Shadow Fairy-chain.

### Shadow Fairy-chan

A TV animation in which the protagonists is a magical girl. It was Gosha propaganda material 10 years ago but was very unpopular and only 2 episodes aired before being canceled but after the recent success of a supposed sequel, Taima 5 or Taimanin Five, it became better known and some toys are now sold. A special within Taimanin Five, called Sakurapanick, brought back the old series.

### Corporate Warrior Ingrid

A propaganda OVA series of the Action Taimanin-timeline. As a result of the leaked negative information about Nomad, thanks to Momochi Toyo and Astaroth, Lina suggested this series to counter the bad image. Staring Ingrid as the main character fighting the corrupt and evil "Taimanin" analogous "Taemanin". Though approved, it isn't clear if this propaganda had any positive effect outside of making Oboro laugh hysterically.
