Strike the Blood II

Posted on September 23, 2017 9:41 am by Offkorn Comment

Having already overcome many trials Kojou and his friends believe they finally have a chance to relax. This is not to be, as they soon find themselves under attack from both an organization that wishes to eradicate any possibility of a lost god’s re-awakening as well as that same god’s misguided disciples.

A continuation of the Strike the Blood franchise which takes place after the Valkyria OVAs. It has the same mix of content as the TV series and you can’t really watch this without having seen that first.

Sakura Quest

Posted on September 23, 2017 6:47 am by Offkorn Comment

Fresh out of college in Tokyo, Yoshino Koharu is having difficulty finding a job. Desperate for money she accepts a modeling agency’s offer to become the tourism ambassador for a small rural town on what she believes is a part-time basis, not knowing the job is supposed to last a full year. There she discovers that she’s been to the town before and that maybe living in the countryside isn’t so bad after all.

A mostly laid-back daily life show surrounding the activities of a small town tourism board. It features reaction-based comedic elements along with spots of usually low-key drama related to character backgrounds, the methods used to promote the town, and various population-related issues.

Re: CREATORS

Posted on September 18, 2017 3:12 pm by Offkorn Comment

Suddenly, without warning, characters from popular works of fiction begin appearing in the real world. Souta Mizushino finds himself at ground zero of the phenomenon and seems to be recognized by the apparent instigator of the incursions, despite being just an ordinary student with no creations of his own. What is his connection to this mysterious girl and how will the authors and artists cope with coming face to face with their creations?

An action drama with a strong 4th-wall breaking focus, moderate comedic presence, and a couple concentrated spots of ecchi. The first half is heavily skewed toward physical conflict between the creations while the second features more dramatic tensions regarding the creators’ work.

Sagrada Reset

Posted on September 17, 2017 10:02 am by Offkorn Comment

The town of Sakurada is home to a monitored population, many of whom possess special abilities of some form. Kei Asai’s is the ability to remember everything perfectly, which puts him in an ideal position to work with Misora Haruki. Her’s can periodically ‘reset’ the world to a state up to 3 days prior; everything returns to how it was at that earlier point and normally everyone, including herself, loses any memory of what occurred during the reset period. Being unaffected by the memory loss, Kei becomes the only one able to direct that power.

It starts out as a laid-back detective-like series with a secondary focus on a complicated love triangle. Then in the second half things become more adversarial, though the romance elements remain the same. Overall it’s mainly dialog-driven while also containing a few deadpan comedy and action elements.

Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasuka? Isogashii Desuka? Sukutte Moratte Ii Desuka?

Posted on August 14, 2017 3:01 pm by Offkorn Comment

Centuries in the past seventeen beasts appeared and wiped out the human race while the other races fled to floating islands. There they now live out their lives with the fairies, who resemble human girls and are the only ones able to use the weapons humanity left behind, acting as a defense against any of the beasts that manage to attack from the surface. Into this new order steps Willem Kmetsch, a human who was frozen in time and has become a caretaker for these living weapons.

A mixed-genre series that starts out as almost a slice of life comedy before eventually fully transforming into an action-infused romantic drama. As far as ecchi content goes, there are only a few scenes scattered around.

sin: Nanatsu no Taizai

Posted on August 12, 2017 11:47 am by Offkorn Comment

Cast out of heaven, Lucifer briefly crashes to Earth before falling into hell. There she meets the demon Leviathan who explains her situation and brings her to see the area’s rulers: Mammon, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Belphegor, Satan, and Belial. After declaring her intent to rule she’s quickly overpowered by their combined strength and forced to flee back to Earth, where she begins forming a plan to defeat them one by one with the help of both Leviathan and a human girl she’s formed a contract with.

An ecchi action comedy with bits of drama. The action scenes start out brief, being tertiary to the harem-style comedy and large amount of softcore porn-level fanservice, and it’s only in the ending third that they become the main focus.

Natsume Yuujinchou: Roku

Posted on August 12, 2017 2:59 am by Offkorn Comment

Having resolved to trust and rely more on his friends, Natsume has begun to become more outgoing and approach supernatural situations with less uncertainty.

A mixture of episodic stories and overarching character development much the same as the previous seasons. This one has a slightly greater number of violent ayakashi in it than the prequel and features more varied themes.

Kuai Ba Wo Ge Dai Zou: Ani ni Tsukeru Kusuri wa Nai!

Posted on August 10, 2017 10:50 pm by Offkorn Comment

To outside appearances Fen and Miao Shi look like an ordinary pair of siblings. But looks can be deceiving: Fen is actually a weak, irresponsible coward while Miao is quick to resort to physical violence.

A gag comedy with a mix of slapstick, misunderstanding-based humor, and romantic comedy.
