Idol Memories

Posted on May 16, 2017 12:40 am by Offkorn Comment

Virtual reality technology has now advanced to the point that people can now experience idol concerts from the comfort of their own homes. In the wake of this a worldwide idol ranking system has been created alongside schools specifically designed to train new idols. StarRing and Shadow are two such idol groups who seek to rise to the top of the charts.

Don’t let the first episode fool you, as this is not an action series. It’s a straight-forward idol show with all the attendant training, cute girls doing cute things, and industry/friendship drama that entails. Do note however that half of each episode is devoted to a live-action cast segment.

Sakamichi no Apollon: KIDS ON THE SLOPE

Posted on May 15, 2017 8:11 am by Offkorn Comment

An introverted boy with acute anxiety issues stemming from continuously having to move from school to school, Kaoru Nishimi tries to keep to himself. This all changes on his first day at a new school following a chance meeting with Sentarou Kawabuchi, a jazz-loving delinquent. It’s an encounter that will change the way he sees the world.

A school-life relationship drama set in the late 1960’s. While it has a bit of action in the form of schoolyard fights and some situational comedy arising from the mismatched pair of protagonists, for the most part it’s a serious coming-of-age story with a jazz-band backdrop.

Chuuta Kokonose finds himself suddenly asked to become a member of the Space Police after being spontaneously transported onboard their orbital spacecraft.

A not particularly serious action comedy that bears something of a resemblance to a battle shounen. The style of humor leans toward slapstick and awkward situations/reactions.

Idol Jihen

Posted on March 27, 2017 8:39 am by Offkorn Comment

In the hopes of turning around a stagnant economy and general poor perception of politicians, various political parties are created in the hopes of electing idols into top government positions. Not everyone is happy about this however, and now the most recent idol addition to the Diet must contend with both learning how the government actually works as well as interference from scheming old-school politicians.

An idol-centric comedy featuring cartoonishly evil politicians and special interest groups as its antagonists. In general, it presents and deals with serious issues in the least serious manner possible.
