BANANA FISH

Posted on December 26, 2018 8:19 am by Offkorn 1 Comment

A new drug called ‘Banana Fish’ has made its way over to the United States. Far from harmless, it triggers a berserk episode followed by complete catatonia. A pure sample of this drug happens to fall into the hands of the young gang leader Ash Lynx, who having lost his brother to it resolves to discover the source and get revenge despite heavy opposition from the Corsican mafia.

A crime drama with frequent action scenes, occasional comic relief, a few thriller aspects, and re-occurring yaoi elements.

Souten no Ken -REGENESIS-

Posted on December 25, 2018 10:10 am by Offkorn 1 Comment

Although Lu-Ying is safe and the Red Flower Gang has been defeated, World War II is on the horizon and the Japanese army is making moves to wipe out gang activity by employing martial artists of their own. Worse, the German army is in Shanghai as well looking to secure the List of Hope which Guise had intended to use in the creation of a sanctuary city.

An action series threaded with various types of comic relief. Though a sequel to Souten no Ken, the storyline here is almost entirely self-contained with little relation to previous events.

SSSS.GRIDMAN

Posted on December 24, 2018 4:11 pm by Offkorn 4 Comments

Waking up in a strange house, Yuuta Hibiki can’t remember who he is or who the people around him are. Following the sound of what he assumes to be his name leads to a computer where someone calling themselves ‘Gridman’ implores him to realize his identity. Someone apparently only he can see and hear. Initially writing it off as a hallucination, he’s eventually forced to face reality after being sucked into a computer to fight a giant monster that’s suddenly begun attacking the town.

A combination of character drama and tokusatsu action with a large amount of comic relief and minor romance elements. No familiarity with the live-action Gridman or Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad productions is necessary to watch it.
