Clockwork Planet

Posted on July 9, 2017 7:20 am by Offkorn Comment

A thousand years after the destruction of the Earth, humanity now lives on a clockwork replica planet. It’s here that the failing student Miura Naoto finds his life turned upside down one night after an advanced android is accidentally airdropped into his apartment. While not having any luck fixing clocks, he manages to get her working again and ends up on a quest to repair the city’s failing mechanisms before it all falls to ruin.

A mixed-genre action series, heavier on comedy than drama, with minor ecchi and romance elements.

Roped into becoming a substitute teacher at the prestigious Alzano Imperial Magic Academy, to all appearances Glenn Radars is a lazy, incompetent slacker. In truth he’s a highly specialized mage with a very specific skill set… skills which make him the perfect instructor once properly motivated.

A multi-genre school life series with a moderate focus on ecchi and a much greater fondness for comedic misunderstandings.

Known as the “God of Fighting” in the hugely popular MMO Glory, Xiu Ye ends up screwed over by the manager of the pro-player club he leads and forced into early retirement. Contractually barred from re-joining the professional scene for the next year, he decides to work his way up from nothing on a new game server with the intent of eventually taking back the top spot.

Half set in a fantasy gameworld where all the action takes place, and half set in the real-world where the tone is more serious/reflective. Both parts are peppered with comic relief.

Following a nasty fall during a figure skating competition, Tazusa Sakurano awakes to find herself possessed by the spirit of a recently deceased stunt pilot. Now the two of them must find a way to co-exist while Tazusa redoubles her efforts to reach the Olympics.

Part ‘rise to the top’ competitive sports show and part romantic comedy. It’s a bit more of the former than the latter and has a particular focus on reaction shots.

Koyomimonogatari

Posted on May 3, 2017 5:23 pm by Offkorn Comment

A collection of short stories that take place all throughout the Monogatari series, each featuring one of the girls discussing some sort of supernatural-seeming phenomenon with Koyomi.

Almost all of the episodes are effectively stand-alones that resemble the main series entry they take place near. A couple however (8 & 12) have explicit ties to the core storyline and won’t make much/any sense if you haven’t seen several of the main entries.

Youjo Senki: Saga of Tanya the Evil

Posted on April 1, 2017 3:32 pm by Offkorn Comment

After a sociopathic salaryman is pushed in front of an oncoming train, he finds himself being addressed by a being claiming to be God. Unwilling to believe the entity, and telling it such in great detail, he finds himself reincarnated as a young girl on a different world. A world at war where magic is real.

An action series set during a period of time greatly resembling the early 1900’s. Its two central conflicts are ’empire vs. the world’ and ‘protagonist vs. God’.

Lilith’s grimoire turns into a young girl after Arata touches it and awakens the White Demon Lord, an artificial demon lord who desires to become a real one by defeating Arata.

An adaptation of one of the light novels, this movie takes place an indeterminable amount of time after the TV series (which there’s a brief recap of) and features a similar mix of ecchi comedy and action. Perhaps weighted a bit more toward action.

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.

Cheating Craft

Posted on December 26, 2016 5:19 am by Offkorn Comment

The National Special-Level University Exam, a grueling test that anyone seeking happiness or success in this world must pass. Its existence has given rise to two types of people, those that try to pass through diligence and study and those that try to pass by cheating. Now Mu-Ming the cheater and Qiao Yi the learner have set out to take the exam and free Mu-Ming’s father from wrongful imprisonment.

A cartoon-like battle shounen fond of extreme over-exaggeration. Everything here from the setting, to the battles, to the character interactions is pushed well over the top.

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.
