I just remembered that I saw an ad on this show in a Tokyopop manga. I guess Tokyopop has this.

I remember seeing the streams from... Lycos Japan, IIRC. Same site that did the Maho Yuugi streams. They've been removed for quite a while now.

It was most likely released on R2 DVD. The anime, AFAIK, is unlicensed.

?????????
It's a boy in the manga! No, I hope you've just got it confused with the 2 girls chasing him.
I read they were short eps, so I'm not too hopeful of it making it to dvd.

It takes place in a world where psychic powers have only just been discovered, so any child exhibiting them is shipped off to the academy like it or not. Our protagonist likes it not. All he wanted was to attend a normal school & stay away from his doting brother who saved the world.

No they didn't. The protagonist is still a boy, although his first name is quite feminine (Ai is ususally a female name).

As for its story, well, it ended abruptly due to the same reason of Ai Yori Aoshi ~Enishi~: manga has not finished yet. Worse yet, its short episodes give little time for character interaction and development. I've read the manga so I understand what's going on, but I don't recommend it to those who have never read the manga.

Lots of fan service. I like Aki Katsu's girls, BTW. Laughing

And please note the correct title is Psychic Academy or, if you feel Greek, Ψchic Academy.

EDIT: To CCSYueh: R2 DVDs have been released. It has regular and limited editions at amazon.co.jp.

Yeah, TOKYOPOP does have Psychic Academy anime and manga.

No release date info or specifics, though.

I'm losing faith in Tokyo Pop anime.

Psychic Academy is a so-so anime, I'm sorry to say. Furthermore (at the risk of spoiling it for you), it has a somewhat abrupt and not very satisfying conclusion - for the usual reasons.

Still, it has its funny or charming moments, and PLENTY of fanservice. It's worth a viewing, but don't strain yourself trying to find it.

Well, it was just a collection of like 10 min. episodes, right? So..you can't really expect too much from that.

True enough, but the counterexample is Asagiri no Miko, which had the same format - and did very well with it.
