Experience the magic of grade school all over again . . . with the help of a disintegrator ray.

Based on the hit TV series of the same name, Advanced Dimensional Green Ninja-Educational Preparatory Super-Elementary Fortress 555 chronicles the lives of children attending the elementary school in the suburbs surrounding the city at the center of the universe. The show was a mixture of many types of children's Anime, but there were also a smattering of elements from many other influences (some from Anime, some from Western animation, movies, and television programs). The creators have attempted to tread the fine line between homage and satire in the creation of each of the characters, as well as the setting itself, but you'll have to judge for yourself how well they've done.

At the Center of the Multiverse there is a city simply called The City. Here, all realities collide and intermingle tumultuously. Little is constant other than change, as reality itself is in constant flux, as though the many paradigms are actively fighting one another. Some locations are constant, but what reality holds sway over them changes from time to time. Most places, however, hold tightly to their reality of choice, but tend to shift location from time to time. Not only do the relationships between one reality and another change, but even the internal elements of a reality are subject to change. So, one day you may live in a quiet set of rowhouses on a side street, with many of the kids you go to school with in the neighborhood, and then the next you find yourself the only house among high-rises in a mostly-commercial district, with nobody you know in the area.

The further you get from the center of The City, the less chaotic things become. In the 'burbs, associations between locations are stronger, so reality tends to shift in larger clumps, and whole neighborhoods may remain undisturbed for months at a stretch. It is here that Advanced Dimensional Green Ninja-Educational Preparatory Super-Elementary Fortress 555 is located -- part of the Advanced Dimensional Ninja-Educational Preparatory Super-Fortress System, run by the government and paid for with taxpayer currency, and free to all citizens (although the definition of "citizen" has always been a bit of problem, what with the difficulty of determining who has lived where and for how long -- thus the City-wide school system).

Navigating The City and surroundings is no mean feat, and most rely on professional transportation (buses, taxis, the subway, and so on) when they need to go to anywhere less familiar than the grocery store, work, or school. Many of these, in turn, are "manned" by various and sundry Things Whose Names Shall Not Be Spoken -- but whose bizarre alien minds can comprehend the shifting and interlocking realities as easily as you or I could contemplate the route from one side of our kitchen to the other. Ironically, the greatest, and thus most dangerous, of the Things Whose Names Shall Not Be Spoken are generally school bus drivers, because everyone agrees that the most precious cargo shipped on the public transit is their children. Every parent's strictest instruction before a child's first day of school is to never, under any circumstances, look the bus driver in the where-its-face-should-be, and, no matter what happens never, ever read the bus-driver's name plate, not even silently to yourself, and especially not three times in a row. Oh, and never mind the tentacles creeping down the aisle -- just bash them with your bookbag if they get too close.
