The Quiz Animation: Nana Maru San Batsu

Posted on September 22, 2017 10:06 am by Offkorn Comment

A shy and introverted bookworm, the last place Shiki Koshiyama wants to be is in the spotlight. Yet that’s exactly where he ends up after getting dragged into an impromptu competitive quiz. Initially hesitant, he soon discovers that he can’t get enough of the rush of adrenaline that comes from successfully answering a question.

Essentially a sports shounen centered on quiz shows. Though it has comic relief in the form of exaggerated character behavior, it treats its subject matter seriously.

Koi to Uso

Posted on September 22, 2017 7:44 am by Offkorn Comment

Yukari Nejima has long had a crush on Misaki Takasaki, who it turns out reciprocates those feelings. However, to combat a declining birthrate the Japanese government has instituted a system of arranged marriage in which people are paired up on their 16th birthday based on a ‘compatibility calculation’, and to his dismay it assigns Ririna Sanada as his partner instead. Ririna is not thrilled by this development either and decides to encourage Yukari and Misaki’s relationship.

A love polygon romance with minor ecchi harem elements. In addition to the central relationship triangle, it also includes a tertiary unrequited yaoi love aspect.

To its everyday Japanese customers nothing seems out of place at the western-themed restaurant Nekoya. However, every Saturday its doors open to exclusively serve the varied denizens of an alternate dimension resembling a medieval high-fantasy world.

A semi-episodic show about both food and character interactions. While most of its time is spent on scenes at the restaurant, which are almost completely dialog-driven, conflict-centered events from the alternate world also occasionally make an appearance along with small patches of ecchi.

Re: CREATORS

Suddenly, without warning, characters from popular works of fiction begin appearing in the real world. Souta Mizushino finds himself at ground zero of the phenomenon and seems to be recognized by the apparent instigator of the incursions, despite being just an ordinary student with no creations of his own. What is his connection to this mysterious girl and how will the authors and artists cope with coming face to face with their creations?

An action drama with a strong 4th-wall breaking focus, moderate comedic presence, and a couple concentrated spots of ecchi. The first half is heavily skewed toward physical conflict between the creations while the second features more dramatic tensions regarding the creators’ work.

Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasuka? Isogashii Desuka? Sukutte Moratte Ii Desuka?

Posted on August 14, 2017 3:01 pm by Offkorn Comment

Centuries in the past seventeen beasts appeared and wiped out the human race while the other races fled to floating islands. There they now live out their lives with the fairies, who resemble human girls and are the only ones able to use the weapons humanity left behind, acting as a defense against any of the beasts that manage to attack from the surface. Into this new order steps Willem Kmetsch, a human who was frozen in time and has become a caretaker for these living weapons.

A mixed-genre series that starts out as almost a slice of life comedy before eventually fully transforming into an action-infused romantic drama. As far as ecchi content goes, there are only a few scenes scattered around.

Natsume Yuujinchou: Roku

Posted on August 12, 2017 2:59 am by Offkorn Comment

Having resolved to trust and rely more on his friends, Natsume has begun to become more outgoing and approach supernatural situations with less uncertainty.

A mixture of episodic stories and overarching character development much the same as the previous seasons. This one has a slightly greater number of violent ayakashi in it than the prequel and features more varied themes.

With the events surrounding Souichirou Shimogamo’s death resolved a sense of peace and quiet returns to the city. A peace soon broken by Akadama’s son, who has returned seeking revenge after a century-long absence.

A mostly laid-back and ambling character-driven slice-of-life that has occasional bursts of dramatic plot development. You don’t have to see the prequel to follow events here, but it would help immensely since this is a relationship-focused series.

Walking home from the store one night Koyomi Araragi finds a vampire on the verge of death, and against his better judgement he decides to sacrifice himself so that she can survive. He does not die however. Instead, she transforms him into a vampire and tasks him with recovering her lost limbs from the hunters who stole them.

A prequel to Bakemonogatari, this series of movies fully fleshes out the brief flashback you get there. Content composition is similar with the main difference being that a larger percentage is dedicated to action and horror.
