Ajin OVAs

Posted on May 7, 2017 9:03 am by Offkorn Comment

Short stories taking place both before and during the main Ajin series.

The first is a prequel focused on drama featuring Shinya, a university student who discovers that he’s an Ajin following a fatal motorcycle accident. The second is a collection of comedic ‘behind-the-scenes’ character-based segments, each of which takes place at a different part of the parent series. The third is an action-centric prequel centering on the event that triggered Satou’s transformation from soldier to terrorist.

Kekkai Sensen: Ou-sama no Restaurant no Ou-sama

The members of Libra are invited to a dinner party as congratulations for successfully defending the town, a gathering that gets crashed by a criminal organization.

A mix of comedy and action similar to the parent series weighted heavily toward comedy. While it takes place after that, the story is essentially stand-alone as long as you know who the characters are.

Ao no Exorcist: Kyoto Fujouou Hen

Posted on April 5, 2017 9:07 am by Offkorn Comment

A thief has stolen the Left Eye of the Impure King, a piece of a powerful demon that had been safely sealed away. Yukio and Shura are sent to investigate while Rin accompanies them due to not being able to leave Shura’s supervision.

A continuation of the 2011 Ao no Exorcist series that acts as though the Anime original content of episodes 18-25 never happened. Unlike there, here the protagonist is treated with suspicion and fear because of his powers. Note that the series’ 13th and 14th episodes are mostly self-contained stories and were released separately in OVA format.

Giant Robo: The Animation

Posted on February 3, 2017 4:15 pm by Offkorn Comment

At an undefined point in the future the discovery of a new energy source has completely changed the face of society. Now two oganizations are fighting for control over this energy source, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.

Despite the name this does not have all that much in the way of giant robot action. It’s more of a character drama with secondary martial-arts aspects and only tertiary mecha action.

Super Danganronpa 2.5: Komaeda Nagito to Sekai no Hakaisha

Posted on January 24, 2017 4:20 pm by Offkorn Comment

The normal everyday life of the completely untalented and slightly unlucky Nagito Komaeda is thrown into turmoil after one of his close friends is suddenly murdered.

This takes place after Danganronpa 3‘s last Future episode and just before the Hope episode. It starts off with wacky school-life antics and ends with philosophical monologues.

ORGUSS 02

Posted on January 24, 2017 3:22 pm by Offkorn Comment

Some 200 years after a space/time collapse a world’s inhabitants uncover the remains of ancient robotic weapons. Following their restoration and use in warfare two major powers have emerged, and are now locked in a race to restore as many of these “Armors” as possible. Enter Lean, an Armor mechanic’s apprentice who finds himself suddenly forced into the role of military spy at a time of great political upheaval.

Set centuries after the first Orguss, this series is quite different and does not require having seen that one. It’s initially focused more on espionage and political intrigue than mecha action.

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.

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.

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.
