Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru: Washio Sumi no Shou

Posted on April 6, 2018 2:02 pm by Offkorn Comment

Chosen by their god to fight off the invaders known as Vertex, Sumi Washio and two of her classmates are granted the power to transform into heroes with superhuman fighting abilities. Strength alone is not enough however, and they must learn to effectively work together in order to defeat a progression of ever more powerful foes.

A stand-alone prequel to Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru featuring a similar mix of action, drama, and often comedic schoolgirl slice of life elements. There are no content differences between the movie and TV versions.

Hina Logi: from Luck & Logic

Posted on September 21, 2017 1:39 pm by Offkorn Comment

A princess from a small country, Lion has transferred into Pirari Academy in order to learn about being a Logicalist. There she meets many other girls from different backgrounds, all with their own reasons for becoming Logaicalists.

Though a sequel to Luck & Logic, this features a different setting, a new cast, and drops nearly all of the action/drama elements. It has a minor ecchi/yuri streak and apart from one or two episodes it’s almost entirely a standard schoolgirl daily life show.

Nanatsu-iro Drops: First love that encompasses you

Posted on September 15, 2017 12:39 pm by Offkorn Comment

Masaharu Tsuwabuki has difficulty talking to people he doesn’t know, and as a result comes off as anti-social and uncaring. Despite this his life can still be called an ordinary one… until the day he accidentally drinks a potion that turns him into a stuffed animal. Now he must help Sumomo Akihime, a classmate who has been chosen to become a magical girl, collect stardrops in order to fully reverse the transformation.

A slightly unconventional romance featuring a large amount of comedy alongside secondary dramatic aspects which come to dominate the last few episodes. While it does have ecchi scenes, they’re almost entirely contained in the 5th episode.

Princess Tutu

Ahiru pines for Mytho, yet both may as well be worlds apart based on their personalities and abilities. No one is more aware of this than Ahiru herself and she wishes she could do something, anything, for him. A wish that ends up granted late one night by a mysterious man.

A ballet-centric story about a story about a duck who becomes a magical girl. It’s very heavy on comedy and absurdity, to the point that the dramatic and romantic aspects are almost completely overshadowed.

Twin Angel Break

Posted on July 10, 2017 8:50 pm by Offkorn Comment

Soon after moving to Tokyo, the aspiring hero of justice Meguru Amatsuki finds a strange medal in her dorm room. It turns out to be a magical transforming device and soon she’s fighting evil with the help of the more reserved Sumire Kisaragi as a Twin Angel.

A straightforward magical girl show of the light and fluffy variety that leans more toward school-life comedy than action. There’s little drama and the ecchi is mostly restricted to episodic episodic transformation and bath scenes.

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.

Soushin Shoujo Matoi

Posted on January 5, 2017 7:57 am by Offkorn Comment

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.

Mahou Shoujo Nante Mou Ii Desu kara. Second Season

Posted on January 2, 2017 1:45 pm by Offkorn Comment

Yuzuka’s everyday life goes on as she continues to try to find any use at all for the magical powers she’s been given, while Mafuyu is happy just to have another magical girl to talk to.

A daily life comedy with reaction-based and slapstick humor. As a result of Mafuyu and Daiya’s larger presence it ends up having more of an ensemble approach than the first season.

One night while playing a free-to-play RPG, Koyuki is given the opportunity to become a real magical girl. With visions of being able help people with magic dancing in her head she accepts almost instantly… only to discover that the magical girls of the real world have a very different purpose than those in fantasy.

An example of the ‘innocent game actually has sinister motives’ variety of show, this starts out earnest and cheerful only to quickly become dark and violent. Unlike some others though it doesn’t fall back on comedy or rapid mood shifts.
