The National Special-Level University Exam, a grueling test that anyone seeking happiness or success in this world must pass. Its existence has given rise to two types of people, those that try to pass through diligence and study and those that try to pass by cheating. Now Mu-Ming the cheater and Qiao Yi the learner have set out to take the exam and free Mu-Ming’s father from wrongful imprisonment.

A cartoon-like battle shounen fond of extreme over-exaggeration. Everything here from the setting, to the battles, to the character interactions is pushed well over the top.

Ren Homura has just returned to his hometown after a lengthy absence with no memories of the place. After being forced to replace his smartphone after an accident, he finds himself caught up in a game where monsters are summoned to do battle against one another… a game which seems to be related to his lost memories.

For the most part this is not a serious show and plays just about everything for laughs with a random sense of humor; it’s only in the last quarter or so it becomes a full battle shounen. It’s also shorter than the episode count would suggest, as each is only ~7 minutes long. Episodes with longer runtimes are padded with advertisements for various things related to the game and Anime.

Ling Xia has just graduated and is having trouble finding a job. After a run-in with a suspicious ‘fortune teller’ she finds herself embroiled in the spirit world, her fate entwined with that of a young general who oversees one of the limbo areas for the dead known as requiem streets.

The episodes alternate between a present-day time period focused on Ling’s tribulations (action/drama with a few bits of comedy) and flashing back to Yanbing’s past (mainly drama), showing how he became the area’s guardian. It’s essentially two separate battle shounens packaged as one and ends just as the real journey begins.
