    A colony ship has an accident in orbit over a remote planet and six men are the only survivors. Now, 300 years later, an all-male society consisting of six different countries has been established through the use of cloning technology. On this world with no women, androids called Marionettes have been fashioned in their likeness to fill various menial and combat roles. One morning a young man named Otaru accidentally awakens a powerful combat Marionette with the rare ability to feel and express human emotions, a fortunate development considering that one of the descendants of those six men has just begun a campaign of conquest.

    While this show shares a few setting and character details with Saber Marionette R, in most respects it’s completely different. Rather than being a drama with little in the way of romantic elements, it’s instead a slapstick comedy featuring standard harem-style hijinks with only tertiary dramatic aspects.

    Tomoya Aki is a well known otaku blogger who covers Anime, LNs, and VNs. One day he’s struck by the sight of a girl on a hill and becomes obsessed with the idea of creating his own VN based on that experience. He lacks the skills to do it on his own though and so sets out to recruit two old acquaintances (a doujin artist and a novelist), running into the mystery girl from before in the process. Can the four of them work together to create a game?

    A fully self-aware romantic comedy whose first episode, labeled “Episode 0”, takes place at the very end of the series. Unlike many harem comedies this one focuses primarily on reaction and dialog-based humor instead of ecchi comedy. It does still have a notable amount of ecchi however.

  • Aikatsu!

    Ichigo is the daughter of a lunch-shop owner and has no particular interest in idols. One day her friend Aoi, an idol otaku, takes her to a concert held by the current top idol Mizuki. The experience changes her life, and it’s not long before the two girls enter the idol-focused Starlight Academy to become idols themselves. Can Ichigo manage to reach the same heights as Mizuki?

    Aikatsu! is a lengthy series that paints the idol industry in a persistently upbeat light. Win or lose the girls are nearly always cheerful, and there is never any resentment or envy shown toward anyone. Each new season (apart from the last) shakes the cast up; the second season introduces a rival school with its own set of characters and the third replaces the original main cast while almost completely ignoring the other school’s existence. It’s also worth mentioning that the show is designed to promote an arcade game and so will occasionally come across like an advertisement.

    Following a mysterious mass disappearance that occurred 12 years prior, Rena just wants to live a quiet everyday life. This is not to be, as the past catches up to fling her and her surrogate family into a conflict over the power of lost gods.

    Primarily consisting of action and drama, the show also periodically dips into daily life territory every few episodes as a sort of reprieve. Don’t go into it expecting lighthearted fluff though, as while it’s not full grimdark it still tries to play things seriously more often than not.

    Rakshasa Street Title Screen

    Ling Xia has just graduated and is having trouble finding a job. After a run-in with a suspicious ‘fortune teller’ she finds herself embroiled in the spirit world, her fate entwined with that of a young general who oversees one of the limbo areas for the dead known as requiem streets.

    The episodes alternate between a present-day time period focused on Ling’s tribulations (action/drama with a few bits of comedy) and flashing back to Yanbing’s past (mainly drama), showing how he became the area’s guardian. It’s essentially two separate battle shounens packaged as one and ends just as the real journey begins.

    orange-title

    A story of regrets and second chances. The protagonist receives a letter from her future self, on the first day of the second year of high school, detailing events that will soon occur and the choices she made at the time which in retrospect feel like mistakes. The letter implores her to not repeat them.

    The time travel aspect is essentially just a gimmick, a bit of flair to make the show stand out. For the most part it’s a normal, realism-styled school life drama/romance that takes the uncommon step of dedicating a portion of each episode to showing how its characters (may have) ended up a decade later.

  • Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta?

    An MMO-playing otaku finds out that his online wife (Ako), who’s not a very good player, is a socially awkward girl in real life who can’t separate online fantasy from offline reality. Not only that, she and the other two members of his guild all turn out to attend the same school he does. Together they try to both improve Ako’s skills in game and help her separate fantasy from reality.

    The show alternates between virtual reality settings (primarily fantasy), depicting the characters’ online gaming adventures, and a modern day school setting. The comedic setup isn’t much different from an ecchi harem at the base level, the main difference being that only one of the girls is pursuing the male protagonist.

    d-gray-man-hallow

    A continuation of 2006’s D.Gray-man, this series picks up an indeterminable amount of time after the point that one ended. The protagonist(s) get their first chance to visit the Black Order’s new headquarters since being destroyed in the previous series, and Allen finds himself treated like an enemy after learning that he may no longer be alone in his own head.

    The show does a decent job explaining the plot for people who may not have seen the earlier 103-episode series, but doesn’t elaborate on or explain the characters’ relationships with one another. So while you can jump right into the story here, treating it as an example of in medias res, you’ll probably not get much out of it since the character behavior/interactions are fairly central.
