Bakuretsu Hunter

Posted on January 18, 2017 5:36 pm by Offkorn Comment

When sorcerers cross the line and start using their powers for evil, the Sorcerer Hunters are contracted to eliminate them: Carrot the skirt-chaser, his magic-inclined brother Marron, the brawler Gateau, and the dominatrix sisters Chocolate & Tira.

An action comedy, centered primarily on Carrot’s manic behavior, set in a grim world where the common people live in fear and poverty. It mostly consists of episodic stories with only about a quarter of it being plot-driven.

Maze☆ Bakunetsu Jikuu

Posted on January 16, 2017 5:18 pm by Offkorn Comment

Maze and the gang stumble upon a fairy and become enmeshed in the troubles surrounding the nearby country of Babylonia.

An alternate version side story not much different from the TV series featuring higher quality visuals. If you can ignore the minor (character design) and not so minor (Randi’s introduction, more nudity) differences it fits into the series well enough right around the 10th episode or so.

Maze☆ Bakunetsu Jikuu (TV)

Posted on January 16, 2017 5:18 pm by Offkorn Comment

Waking from a bad dream Maze find her room a mess and her memory in shambles. Worse, it seems she’s been transported to some sort of fantasy world. There she becomes entangled with a princess on the run and develops strange powers… not least being the uncontrollable ability to transform into a completely different person at night.

An action comedy whose comedy comes from silly faces and harem antics. Two things to be aware of are that the romantic attractions here are remarkably varied, with there being all sorts of pairings (though girl<->girl is the most prominent), and a little ways past the midpoint it begins to acquire a distinct focus on an incestuous relationship.

Akatsuki no Yona OVAs

Posted on January 14, 2017 8:27 pm by Offkorn Comment

Yona and the gang head to a hot spring, where some of Kija’s background is revealed after Jeha notices a scar on his back.

The first OVA is half standard hot springs fanservice episode and half serious flashback. It’s not directly connected to the second two.

After a drinking contest one night, Zeno finds himself dreaming of the past.

A two-episode flashback showing the beginnings of the Kouka kingdom and the details of Zeno’s history. There’s only a small amount of comic relief here with the rest consisting of reflective scenes and serious drama.

Flip Flappers

Posted on January 12, 2017 12:16 am by Offkorn Comment

As a studious, slightly boring girl, Cocona doesn’t have any particular direction or goals in life. One morning that all changes when she encounters the wild, impulsive Papika and finds herself suddenly tossed into a bizarre dream dimension.

Bouncing as it does between settings and genres, this is a difficult series to pin down. I suppose at its core you could call it an embellished magical girl family drama. The comedy is a mix of reaction and situational while the ecchi aspects do not often have any particular attention drawn to them.

Agarest War Zero

Posted on December 29, 2016 5:08 pm by Offkorn Comment
While originally I had no intention of ever playing this game, when I went to try out the PC version of Agarest 2 I found that you could import a Zero save to get some free items.

Since the GOG version of the game does not appear to have access to any of the DLC (and I obviously can’t import a PS3 save file) getting a Zero clear save appeared to be the only way to cut down on the early grinding. Which gave me an excuse to stop ignoring it.

Honestly I wish I kept ignoring it.

While it does show you exactly what the characters in Agarest 2 were talking about during the artifact and Chaos/Summerill conversations (and you get to see an early version of Eva) it turns out that nothing of note was omitted from those conversations. When you combine that with the large amount of required grinding and ‘unwinnable’ battles that you’re supposed to lose… well, there really ends up being no reason whatsoever to play it.

I’ll just leave these here though in case anybody else wants to see for themselves:

DRIFTERS: Battle in a Brand-new World War

Posted on December 29, 2016 9:47 am by Offkorn Comment

After Toyohisa Shimazu is critically wounded while holding the rearguard against the Eastern Army, he finds himself suddenly transported to a different world. There he meets others like himself, transplants from Earth called Drifters who have been recruited to fight a war against an implacable foe who wishes to eradicate all human life.

A mix of hyper-violent action scenes and picture-drama style comedy skits. While it involves characters from a wide variety of time periods, it mainly depicts warfare out of the medieval and Sengoku eras.

Magic-Kyun! Renaissance

Posted on December 28, 2016 4:44 am by Offkorn Comment

Wanting to be more like her mother, Kohana transfers into the Hoshinomori School of Magic Arts. There she meets six boys, each with their own artistic specialty, who all take an interest in her unusual talent for arrangement and cheerful smile.

A school life harem with a comedic style closer to that of a gag comedy. It doesn’t actually begin to focus on romance until around the eighth episode, instead mainly being concerned with resolving the characters’ personal issues and getting everyone together to organize a successful school festival. It’s also not much of a fantasy show; up until the twelfth episode the ‘magic’ on display only exists to visualize the artists’ skill level.

Arslan Senki: Gaiden

Posted on December 27, 2016 5:11 pm by Offkorn Comment

After leaving Kashan Fortress, while on the road to Peshawar the protagonists stop for the night and make camp. Having to patrol the area and not trusting Arslan to stay away from danger, his guardians leave him with Gieve… who turns out to be something of a danger himself.

An Anime-original comedic supplement for the main series. The focus of the comedy doesn’t require any particular knowledge of the characters, so it may be possible to watch this as a stand-alone.

Following the events within Sindhura, a banquet is held to thank Arslan and his companions for their assistance in resolving the inheritance issue.

This OVA also consists of pure comedy, which puts it in a difficult position. You can’t watch it as a stand-alone because it’s directly tied into the franchise’s plotline, yet it would also be difficult to watch during the parent series due to the drastic difference in tone.

This promotional Anime for the upcoming second Gravity Daze game is split into two parts, which are presented in non-linear order.
