Founded by a former gangster and a yazuka boss’ estranged daughter the R&R detective agency isn’t particularly well loved among Kirin Town’s local criminal element, so the violent response they receive after accidentally stumbling upon a weapons trafficking scheme is unsurprising. What is surprising is that the encounter that should’ve led to their deaths instead results in the two sharing the same body, a body which swaps appearance and control between them at the stroke of midnight. Why were their bodies combined? And just who is the mysterious woman who’s taken an interest in them?

An investigative-themed action comedy with minor mystery and ecchi aspects.

Often mistaken for a gal due to her tanned skin and light hair, Momo Adachi frequently has to fend off assumptions about her character. Making matters worse is that the scheming and more classically beautiful Sae Kashiwagi seems dead-set on outshining her in every way. Particularly where boys are concerned. So it comes as a shock when Sae’s attempt to steal the attention of Kairi Okayasu, whom Momo feigns interest in, backfires spectacularly: Kairi has in fact been long interested in Momo. But will Momo ever return his feelings when she’s in fact interested in someone else entirely?

A school life romantic comedy with a large amount of relationship drama.

Warned as a child by the Golden Saint Scorpio Milo of the impending rebirth of a dark god and her own cruel fate, Kyouko resolves to become strong enough to defy fate and protect her sister Shouko from all harm. A resolve tested a mere five years later when minions of the dark goddess Eris suddenly appear with the intention of using Shouko’s body as a vessel for their master’s rebirth.

Though having returned to space after saving the world decades earlier, Ultraman did not leave the planet undefended: An Ultraman Factor was left behind in the body of Shin Hayata, the human who fought with him against the giant monsters attacking Earth, to be passed down through his descendants in case another alien menace ever appeared. That time has arrived, and it now falls to his son Shinjirou to don the Ultraman mantle.

An action series with a moderate level of drama and minor comic relief elements toward the end. While it’s a sequel to the first Ultraman TV series, no familiarity with the franchise is required to watch it.
