MoNSTER SONIC! D’Artagnyan no Idol Sengen

Posted on October 4, 2017 12:26 pm by Offkorn Comment

One night D’Artagnyan stumbles upon Lucifer singing alone in the moonlight and becomes overcome by a feeling she can’t explain. At the urging of her friend she attends a concert held by Lucifer’s former bandmates, now a famous idol group, and it’s there she realizes that she wants to sing as well.

While most of the series is a lighthearted take on becoming an idol, episode 0 is nearly a pure drama. Also note that although this is a part of the Monster Strike franchise, watching it does not require having seen any of the related shows.

When someone wishes strongly enough to turn back time they may attract the attention of horologues, demonic creatures which drain the time from their victims to cause age regression and memory loss until there’s nothing left. Standing against these creatures are Kiri and Victor Putin, so-called Chronos Rulers with the ability to control time, who are hunting a specific horologue in order to reclaim Victor’s devoured memories.

A mixed-genre battle shounen with a lighthearted reaction-based comedy style.

Haruto Tsukishiro awakes to find himself trapped in a dreamworld. There he meets a mysterious girl who calls him ‘brother’ and finds himself attacked by self-proclaimed witches, the dreamworld incarnation of girls who have rejected reality. Now in order to escape he must help these various girls either move past their trauma or fulfill their desires.

An explicit semi-episodic drama that deals with issues both large and small, ranging from lack of self-esteem to someone witnessing their family’s murder. It’s highly experimental and no two episodes look the same.

Kyoukai no Rinne

Though Sakura Mamiya has been able to see spirits since she was a child, it has never been of much use and she wishes it would fade away. In highschool however she meets Rinne Rokudou, who works to send lost/evil spirits on to their next reincarnation, and her ability allows her to help him complete his tasks.

A comedy with occasional action scenes, a love-polygon subplot, and an extremely strong poverty theme. The comedy style leans toward deadpan reaction humor and slapstick, with situational and parody elements also making an appearance.

Having already overcome many trials Kojou and his friends believe they finally have a chance to relax. This is not to be, as they soon find themselves under attack from both an organization that wishes to eradicate any possibility of a lost god’s re-awakening as well as that same god’s misguided disciples.

A continuation of the Strike the Blood franchise which takes place after the Valkyria OVAs. It has the same mix of content as the TV series and you can’t really watch this without having seen that first.

To its everyday Japanese customers nothing seems out of place at the western-themed restaurant Nekoya. However, every Saturday its doors open to exclusively serve the varied denizens of an alternate dimension resembling a medieval high-fantasy world.

A semi-episodic show about both food and character interactions. While most of its time is spent on scenes at the restaurant, which are almost completely dialog-driven, conflict-centered events from the alternate world also occasionally make an appearance along with small patches of ecchi.

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.
