Tenchi Muyou!: Ryou-Ouki

Posted on July 10, 2018 10:13 am by Offkorn Comment

Content with his normal everyday life, Tenchi Masaki receives a nasty shock one morning after accidentally awakening the infamous space pirate who had been sealed within the depths of his family’s shrine. It turns out he’s in fact alien royalty, and soon two princesses, an accident-prone galaxy police officer, and a mad scientist show up to complicate things even further. With the number of Tenchi’s houseguests now constantly on the rise it seems his life will never be normal again.

UQ HOLDER!: Mahou Sensei Negima! 2 OADs

Posted on July 8, 2018 12:47 pm by Offkorn Comment

With Ialda Baoth having been forced to retreat life returns to normal for the members of UQ Holder. Or at least as normal as possible after Touta’s confession to Yuikihime, which prompts both Kirie and Karen to examine their own feelings toward him.

Taking place shortly after the TV series this set of episodes primarily focus on romance; the first being semi-dramatic with a bit of action while the other two are mostly comedic. There’s little reason to watch them as stand-alones.
