Uta∽Kata (うた∽かた) is the second anime from gímik, the main creative team behind Kiddy Grade, comprising of Keiji Gotoh (Director), Megumi Kadonosono (Character Design), and Hidefumi Kimura (Screenplay). Twelve episodes aired in Japan with a 13th 'OVA' episode released on DVD. No US licensee has been announced yet.
The series title has been written in English variously as Uta~Kata, Uta-Kata, Uta Kata or Utakata. The meaning is unclear: the Kanji used (詩片) translate to 'poem' and 'piece' respectively (although, in context with the series, I think something like 'shard' more appropriate), but the Kanji used in the ED song (泡沫) can refer to bubbles.

The series is about a girl named Ichika who's life changes completely one day when she meets a mysterious girl named Manatsu who comes from the other side of a mirror. The encounter causes the 12 stones on a charm bracelet, given to her by someone important, to change colour. In order to return the charm to normal, she has to experience in turn the powers of 12 'Djinn', spirits representing forces and elements of nature.
