Various thoughts on a variety of topics.
The show was aired on TV.
Though a gifted soccer player, due to his extreme germophobia Aoyama has developed an eccentric style of play where he avoids contact with both the ball and other players as much as possible. A quirk that puts him at odds with the hot-headed Kaoru Zaizen, who believes Aoyama doesn’t take the game seriously enough.
A gag comedy with a strong soccer focus and somewhat limited joke variety.

At first glance the girls of Shinjugamine high school seem to be just normal everyday students, but they are in fact elite fighters trained to combat incursions by mysterious creatures called Irous. However, after having won two major battles in the past they’ve since grown complacent and sloppy… so much so that they must now undergo complete retraining.
A schoolgirl show based on a game featuring a mix of action, comedy, idols, daily life events, and minor ecchi content. While the story takes place after certain events in the game, it does not seem to be necessary to play that in order to watch this.

Suddenly, without warning, characters from popular works of fiction begin appearing in the real world. Souta Mizushino finds himself at ground zero of the phenomenon and seems to be recognized by the apparent instigator of the incursions, despite being just an ordinary student with no creations of his own. What is his connection to this mysterious girl and how will the authors and artists cope with coming face to face with their creations?
An action drama with a strong 4th-wall breaking focus, moderate comedic presence, and a couple concentrated spots of ecchi. The first half is heavily skewed toward physical conflict between the creations while the second features more dramatic tensions regarding the creators’ work.

The town of Sakurada is home to a monitored population, many of whom possess special abilities of some form. Kei Asai’s is the ability to remember everything perfectly, which puts him in an ideal position to work with Misora Haruki. Her’s can periodically ‘reset’ the world to a state up to 3 days prior; everything returns to how it was at that earlier point and normally everyone, including herself, loses any memory of what occurred during the reset period. Being unaffected by the memory loss, Kei becomes the only one able to direct that power.
It starts out as a laid-back detective-like series with a secondary focus on a complicated love triangle. Then in the second half things become more adversarial, though the romance elements remain the same. Overall it’s mainly dialog-driven while also containing a few deadpan comedy and action elements.

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.

Having defeated the massive alien construct that mysteriously appeared in their town, the magic club must now deal with the giant sakura tree that has been left in its place.
This continues directly from where the OVA series left off and so it would be a good idea to watch that first. That said it’s very different from the prequel, aside from the comedy style, and takes a much slower slice of life approach.
