Kidou Senshi Gundam: Tekketsu no Orphans

Posted on April 4, 2017 1:46 pm by Offkorn Comment

When the CGS mercenary group is contracted to transport the leader of a Martian independence movement to Earth, they become the target of Gjallarhorn, a police-like organization which seeks to keep Mars under Earth’s control through any means necessary. Earth however is not united, and the mercenaries quickly become entangled in an elaborate political scheme.

A mecha action drama with child soldiers as the protagonists. Like many Gundam series it focuses on the themes of colonialism, prejudice, rivalry, and chains of revenge. Less common are the mafioso elements it eventually adopts.

Schoolgirl Strikers: Animation Channel

Posted on April 2, 2017 3:52 pm by Offkorn Comment

Goryoukan Academy is a prestigious all-girls school located in the middle of the city. Unknown to the general public this school is the training ground for the Fifth Force, a group of girls with the ability to see and fight the inter-dimensional invaders known as O’bli.

Equal parts daily school life antics and monster-fighting action with an early focus on training. The ecchi level is moderate and mainly takes the form of skimpy clothing and numerous bathing scenes.

Rewrite: 2nd Season

Posted on April 2, 2017 9:15 am by Offkorn Comment

Kotarou Tennouji wakes from a dream of past memories and climbs to the peak a flower-covered hill where a lone girl awaits. There he dies, only to awaken again the next night to repeat the journey.

This is two shows in one. The first part is less a continuation of the first season and more the framework in which the first season took place (almost nothing that occurred there matters here, but you have to watch that first if you want to know who the characters are). The second part is a complete reset that begins in the 4th episode; it has little comedy and can be watched without having seen anything else.

Youjo Senki: Saga of Tanya the Evil

Posted on April 1, 2017 3:32 pm by Offkorn Comment

After a sociopathic salaryman is pushed in front of an oncoming train, he finds himself being addressed by a being claiming to be God. Unwilling to believe the entity, and telling it such in great detail, he finds himself reincarnated as a young girl on a different world. A world at war where magic is real.

An action series set during a period of time greatly resembling the early 1900’s. Its two central conflicts are ’empire vs. the world’ and ‘protagonist vs. God’.

Mousou Kagaku ADV – Chaos;Child

Posted on March 31, 2017 4:10 am by Offkorn Comment

Strange suicides have begun occurring in Shibuya, deaths which bear a resemblance to the ones from the ‘New Generation of Madness’ incident from six years prior. For reasons of his own, the president of Hekiho Academy’s newspaper club has decided to investigate these incidents… ending up a target as result.

A horror thriller that eventually acquires the aspects of an ESP action series. While it’s a direct sequel to Chaos;Head, watching that is not required to watch this (though if you haven’t it would be a good idea to skip the ‘episode 0’ recap since it only works as a refresher).

AKIBA’STRIP: THE ANIMATION

Posted on March 30, 2017 3:18 pm by Offkorn Comment

Killed while saving a mysterious red-haired girl from mysterious assailants, Tamotsu Denkigai is resurrected as a high-class ‘bugged one’; a being possessing superhuman abilities whose only weakness is having their clothes removed. No longer able to leave Akihabara, he must now fight against an opposing group of bugged ones that wish to take over the town.

An ecchi action comedy that focuses on different subcultures in each episode: Military otaku, audiophiles, eSports, and so forth. The one constant are the action scenes which always result in various amounts of torn, dissolved, or removed clothing.

Sousei no Onmyouji

Posted on March 30, 2017 11:27 am by Offkorn Comment

Rokuro Enmadou and Benio Adashino are both exceptionally powerful exorcists with tragic pasts. Though Rokuro responded to the tragedy by swearing off exorcism, in Benio’s case it only motivated her to become more powerful. Now the two of them have been proclaimed the ‘Twin Star Exorcists’ and must work together to cleanse the world of evil spirits.

A battle shounen slightly darker than usual with a fairly even mix of comedy, drama, and action. The romance aspect, despite being introduced early, does not become a central focus until the 10th episode while the comedy eventually ends up taking a backseat to the action/drama.
