Inuyashiki: LAST HERO

Posted on February 18, 2018 5:46 am by Offkorn Comment

Unappreciated by his family, dismissed by everyone else due his geriatric appearance, and dying from cancer, Ichirou Inuyashiki has little to look forward to. That changes one night after he’s accidentally killed by a crashing alien ship and awakens to discover that his consciousness has been implanted into a combat android. Initially shocked by the situation, he soon resolves to use this new body to become the hero he’s always wished he could be… but he’s not the only one who has received these abilities, and Hiro Shishigami has no intention of using them to save strangers.

An action-drama with a few small bursts of situational comic relief and a minor romance subplot.

During the third Holy Grail War the Grail was lost due to outside interference, only to suddenly resurface sixty years later in the hands of a group of loosely allied magi who proclaim their independence from the Clock Tower association. A proclamation marking the start of a new Holy Grail War, one in which two teams consisting of seven master-servant pairings fight to the death in order to have their wishes come true.

An action-drama with a touch of ecchi, comedy, and romance. It’s a stand-alone story taking place in an alternate reality where the events of Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night never occurred.

Mass disappearances, outbreaks of violence, and people with mysteriously high physical ability are all on the rise.

A hyper-violent drama with a large quantity of sexual content and occasional early splashes of absurdist comic relief. It’s a completely new adaptation of the source material and does not require having seen anything else.

Children of the Whales: Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau

Posted on December 31, 2017 2:10 pm by Offkorn Comment

Adrift in a seemingly endless sea of sand, the people of the ‘Mud Whale’ live and die on their ship-like island with no knowledge of how their existence began. The elders of the society know more than they let on however, and when a mysterious girl is found on a passing piece of land they begin to ask her questions related to the ‘mainland’. Overhearing this, the young archivist Chakuro realizes that she just might be the key to unlock the mystery surrounding his world.

A mystery-tinged drama focused on the trials and tribulations of a small isolated community. Though it becomes a war drama for a while, the majority of the focus is on social conflicts.

Another day another disaster in the ever-changing environment of Hellsalem’s Lot, where there’s never a dull moment and the members of the independent crime-fighting force Libra are never short of work.

Shoukoku no Altair

Posted on December 25, 2017 1:03 pm by Offkorn Comment

Orphaned by war as a child, Mahmut joined the army as soon as possible and quickly worked his way up the ranks to become Türkiye’s youngest Pasha in order to prevent any future wars from occurring. Titles alone are not enough though, and with little worldly experience his resolve is soon tested when the powerful Balt-Rhein Empire begins taking covert actions to weaken the country.

A politically-themed war drama with a decent amount of early comic relief alongside small bursts of action which become more prominent as it progresses.

Every twelve years the Twelve Tournament is held to grant one lone survivor any single wish they desire. This year marks the 12th such tournament and once again twelve warriors, each one in alignment with an animal from the Chinese zodiac, face off in a deadly battle royal.

A philosophical monologue-heavy character drama that spends roughly half its time on flashbacks revealing the characters’ pasts/personalities, and half on detailing the development of the current conflict from various angles.

URAHARA

Posted on December 21, 2017 1:44 pm by Offkorn Comment

It’s just another normal weekend in Tokyo’s Harajuku district for the PARK shopgirls Rito, Mari, and Kotoko… or at least it was before aliens suddenly invaded and began stealing the Earth’s cultural landmarks. Now it’s up to them to stop the invasion from claiming Harajuku as well, with the help of an alien defector in possession of imagination-based tools of great power.

This starts out as a mix of slice of life and action with undercurrents of personal drama. At the halfway point however the dramatic aspects take over completely to turn it into a very different series for a time.
