The events of this show are not an adaptation of a previously existing work. It may have other attributes, such as character designs, based on one though.
To Be Hero

Posted on January 8, 2017 3:31 pm by Offkorn Comment

After being sucked into the toilet one night, the playboy toilet-seat designer protagonist is granted super powers and instructed to protect the world from an approaching alien invasion. Powers which unfortunately make him unrecognizable to his daughter and twist any references he tries to make to his normal life.

A random comedy heavy with toilet humor. Remarkably varied toilet humor peppered with fast-talking flashbacks that concludes with a large number of action scenes.

biohazard: DAMNATION

Posted on January 7, 2017 2:10 pm by Offkorn Comment

Following the events of Biohazard: Degeneration, Leon is investigating rumors of monster sightings in eastern Europe. There he becomes entangled in a civil war in which the rebel fighters have begun using bio-organic weapons to even the playing field against the government’s military superiority.

Unlike the prequel which doesn’t rely on any detailed references to the games, this one expects you to know what happened in the fourth Biohazard game. It mixes monster-horror action with a bit of war drama.

biohazard: DEGENERATION

Posted on January 6, 2017 2:04 pm by Offkorn Comment

Seven years after the events of the first two Biohazard games, Claire Redfield ends up trapped in the middle of another T-virus outbreak. Leon S. Kennedy is tasked with the job of rescuing her and some other survivors, and the two of them stumble upon another conspiracy after getting caught up in a terrorist plot.

A full-CG action/horror movie. If you’ve ever played a zombie-themed corridor shooter, well this is basically that in movie form capped off by an elaborate boss battle.

Soushin Shoujo Matoi

Posted on January 5, 2017 7:57 am by Offkorn Comment

Yuma works as a shrine maiden, hoping to one day awaken special powers like her ancestors had. Her friend Matoi on the other hand just wants to live a normal everyday life, a desire that ends up further away than ever after she accidentally gains the power to merge with a god.

A comedy with periodic bursts of action and a small streak of drama. What most stands out about it is the way Yuma and Matoi seem to be drawn/animated differently than the other characters.

One Monday morning the protagonist has a fateful encounter, ending up injured by a schoolgirl’s large breasts. The girl’s name is Ai and the two end up spending each Monday morning together on the train.

Shot from the perspective of an unnamed salaryman, the show consists of everyday segments of his life from week to week. Sometimes it features the train ride with Ai, sometimes it features his job, and sometimes it features places he goes to try to ease his job-related stress.

One day while setting up a meeting for her boss, Tokine Amino finds herself transported to a strange alternate dimension. There she meets a floating mascot character who explains that she must solve a riddle in order to escape this closed space.

Part slice of life comedy and part quiz show. Instead of being episodic it takes a more narrative-driven approach, showing scenes from the protagonist’s daily life that suddenly get interrupted by a trip to the riddle dimension.

Hagane Orchestra

Posted on January 1, 2017 7:13 am by Offkorn Comment

The characters from the smartphone game of the same name try various methods to increase its popularity, attempts which result in failure more often than not.

Half gag comedy (with an ever-shifting style of humor; 4th-wall breaking, situational, reaction, parody, etc.) and half literal advertisement featuring a notable streak of ecchi.

3-Nen D-Gumi Glass no Kamen

Posted on December 30, 2016 12:17 pm by Offkorn Comment

The five main characters of Glass no Kamen are transplanted into a modern-day school setting, where they seek to enliven the mundane through passionate performance.

A gag-comedy parody of the Glass no Kamen manga series. While the gags are centered on random school related topics, they all feature slightly exaggerated versions of the characters’ normally over-dramatic behavior. You’ll likely need to have either read the manga or watched one of the various Anime adaptations to get much out of it.

Arslan Senki: Gaiden

Posted on December 27, 2016 5:11 pm by Offkorn Comment

After leaving Kashan Fortress, while on the road to Peshawar the protagonists stop for the night and make camp. Having to patrol the area and not trusting Arslan to stay away from danger, his guardians leave him with Gieve… who turns out to be something of a danger himself.

An Anime-original comedic supplement for the main series. The focus of the comedy doesn’t require any particular knowledge of the characters, so it may be possible to watch this as a stand-alone.

Following the events within Sindhura, a banquet is held to thank Arslan and his companions for their assistance in resolving the inheritance issue.

This OVA also consists of pure comedy, which puts it in a difficult position. You can’t watch it as a stand-alone because it’s directly tied into the franchise’s plotline, yet it would also be difficult to watch during the parent series due to the drastic difference in tone.

Yuri!!!: Yuri on Ice

Posted on December 24, 2016 3:38 pm by Offkorn Comment

Yuri Katsuki has idolized the Russian figure skater Victor Nikiforov since first sight. Wanting a chance to meet his idol on the same stage, he works his way up to the national level… only to perform badly and return home to contemplate whether or not he’s really cut out for figure skating after all.

The first half is a sports shounen focused on figure skating. Aside from the choice of sport itself, its other distinguishing features would be the mostly 20+ year old cast, having a particularly cartoony comedy style, and the large amount of yaoi subtext. In the second half the show becomes more mature, in all respects, and closer to a romantic drama.
