  • Tejina Senpai & ITAI no wa IYA nano de BOUGYORYOKU ni KYOKUFURI Shitai to OMOIMASU.

    Posted on August 23, 2020 4:19 pm by Offkorn 1 Comment

    The half-length episode series Tejina Senpai starts out as an amusing enough version of Ueno-san, only to run out of steam partway through and lean ever more heavily on lewdness as a crutch. The joke variety is also lacking and the additional two members that eventually get added to the club don’t really help much in that department (unless you’re a fan of inexplicable pseudo-incest).

    Also a comedy, Bofuri takes the virtual fantasy land action-adventure aspects of Sword Art Online and combines them with a somewhat random style of reaction humor focusing on Mary Sue parody. Before the guild gets formed most of the amusement comes from the sharp contrast between Maple’s appearance/personality and fondness for unintentional brutality… and this part of the show works fantastically. Eventually however it leans too far into the ‘overpowered main character’ shtick to the point event developments become tiresome. Remarkably high-quality action scenes throughout though.

    That’s the danger of parody: You run the risk of becoming the very thing you’re trying to laugh at.

  • SHINCHOU YUUSHA ~Kono YUUSHA ga ORE TUEEE Kuse ni SHINCHOU Sugiru~ & Hataage! Kemono Michi

    Posted on August 19, 2020 1:53 pm by Offkorn 1 Comment

    Shinchou Yuusha is an interesting series in that you can clearly see it’s an amalgam of earlier works, yet the fusion is pulled off competently enough to result in a consistent whole. The reaction-based comedy is stylistically identical to Konosuba‘s, but in content it’s quite different with a much greater focus on JRPG parody than sex/ecchi. Meanwhile it also has a Goblin Slayer-like stoically single-minded main character and splashes of similar gory drama.

    The combination never comes across as forced, with the one seamlessly blending into the other.

    After that somewhat surprising success story, it seemed like a good idea to try another series (strike while the iron’s hot and all that). Which is where Hataage! Kemono Michi comes in. Also a comedic isekai with a… monomaniac central character the two seemed like they might complement one another. And despite this being more ecchi-centric they actually do. There’s no genre shifts here though; it’s pure comedy.

    As a sidenote: I didn’t realize these two aired at the same time when deciding what to watch after Shinchou Yuusha. It’s strange that shows with such a similar theme (and I’m not talking about them both being isekai) got scheduled in the same season.

  • COP CRAFT & Kyokou Suiri: In/Spectre

    Posted on July 28, 2020 1:55 am by Offkorn 1 Comment

    After seeing a comment that made it sound like Red Data Girl, and noticing the rather large disconnect between the early (edgy) and current (goofy) promotional imagery, I decided to finally get around to watching In/Spectre… and I’m undecided on whether it was a mistake or not. While the beginning is enjoyable, the remaining two-thirds to 50% is for the most part pretty boring and/or distractingly implausible. Rather than an engaging mystery/thriller, exciting action series, or amusing romantic comedy it just ends up something like the second coming of Kyoukai no Kanata.

    Cop Craft on the other hand I didn’t have any particularly strong desire to see, but the ‘odd couple’ relationship angle seemed like it might complement the previous series. It did not. Rather, it reminded me rather acutely of why I mostly stopped watching Anime in the first place. While the series has a lot of ideas and messages to impart, some of them even pretty good, it never manages to sell any of them. Stuff is just sort of thrown at the wall and then forgotten an episode or two later.

    What’s interesting is that both of these series (despite their source material having been written 11 and 9 years ago, respectively) seem tailor-made for current events. In the former’s case you have the central theme of using lies and ‘questions’ to obfuscate and/or distract from the truth, while in the latter you have democracy being boiled down to ‘not choosing which one is good, just which one is better’ and corrupt police. So in the end these two series did end up complimenting one another… just not in the way I had expected.

  • Youjo Senki: Saga of Tanya the Evil

    Posted on September 21, 2019 1:02 pm by Offkorn Comment

    The war should have ended following the Empire’s crushing victory on the Rhine Front. It did not. Instead the conflict has shifted to the southern continent, where remnants of the Republic’s army continue their stubborn resistance. A resistance Tanya is tasked with eliminating once and for all.

    A direct continuation of the earlier TV series featuring similar content. It expects you to have already seen that and won’t work well as a stand-alone.

    The sudden appearance of an 8th continent in the middle of the ocean triggered a new age of exploration. Explorers of all types ventured to the landmass in search of previously unknown lifeforms and resources… only to instead be faced with hardship and assorted disasters. A cottage industry of relief workers specializing in search & rescue has sprung up as a result, and despite his chronic laziness You Yin is one of the best.

    A mostly episodic action-drama with intermittent comic relief and a slight adventure theme. Be aware that the 5th and 9th episodes are comedic parodies in a completely different style than the others.

    Tokyo is home to many people of all different varieties, both human and not, and it’s the Night Community Exchange Department’s job to handle any problems which may arise from the various nonhuman entities inhabiting the area. Arata Miyako has just joined the department’s Shinjuku office, and despite having no previous experience quickly finds himself thrown into the deep-end of mediating supernatural relationships due to his unusual ability to understand their speech.

    A partly episodic procedural series with daily life elements, an occasional dramatic subplot, frequent comic relief, and a few minor action elements. Note that the manga-bundled extra episode is considered the 13th, while the other two are considered the 14th-15th.
