Various thoughts on a variety of topics.
Returning home to France after a business trip to Japan, Oscar has brought many souvenirs for his grandson. Among them is a young Japanese girl who has come to work as a live-in maid. Will she be able to adapt to this radically different environment?
An ambling daily life show set in 19th century Paris. It’s mostly ‘cute girl doing everyday things’ with touches of comedy and drama every so often to liven things up.

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.

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.

Yuuta Gamon runs an occult aggregator blog that’s not doing as well as he’d hoped financially. In an effort to increase its popularity he ends up getting involved with actual occultists and finds himself in the middle of an extremely dangerous situation.
A hectic show that alternates between firing off dialog and densely-packed visuals at a remarkably quick pace. It also switches things up by alternating between off-the-wall comedy and mysterious/violent drama/horror.

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.

Some time after the events of the first series, a new enemy has launched a surprise attack on Sound Planet and caused mass destruction. With it already being too late to fight back, a trio of ninja resort to time travel to warn the populace and hopefully prevent the impending tragedy.
While you don’t have to watch the prequel to follow the new storyline, that is where most of the characters and their quirks are introduced and it may be a bit overwhelming to have them all appear at once. The two seasons aren’t much different, having the same style of comedy (situational) and a similar mix of music, everyday cheerful situations, and bursts of personal/relationship-based drama.

A colony ship has an accident in orbit over a remote planet and six men are the only survivors. Now, 300 years later, an all-male society consisting of six different countries has been established through the use of cloning technology. On this world with no women, androids called Marionettes have been fashioned in their likeness to fill various menial and combat roles. One morning a young man named Otaru accidentally awakens a powerful combat Marionette with the rare ability to feel and express human emotions, a fortunate development considering that one of the descendants of those six men has just begun a campaign of conquest.
While this show shares a few setting and character details with Saber Marionette R, in most respects it’s completely different. Rather than being a drama with little in the way of romantic elements, it’s instead a slapstick comedy featuring standard harem-style hijinks with only tertiary dramatic aspects.
