Monster Hunter Stories: RIDE ON

Posted on June 23, 2018 2:52 am by Offkorn 1 Comment

Lute and his friends live in the isolated Hakum Village, which has a tradition of secretly taming and riding the monsters that the rest of the world constantly hunts. A practice which is put to the test when an old threat re-emerges to infect the nearby monster population with heightened aggression, forcing the riders to come up with a way to subdue the infected creatures without killing them.

A comedic action adventure series with occasional spots of light drama. The first 48 episodes are an adaptation of the related game, while the remaining 27 feature an original story.

Sengoku Night Blood

Posted on January 17, 2018 1:54 pm by Offkorn Comment

Without warning, Yuzuki suddenly finds herself transported to a fantasy-world version of the Sengoku period in which the various warlords happen to be vampires and werebeasts. There she finds out that the Himemiko, a guardian figure who kept the peace between the various armies, has disappeared and that her blood happens to have the exact same properties as the Himimiko’s.

A mostly lighthearted romance series that features a moderate amount of action.

Fate/Grand Order -First Order-

Posted on October 23, 2017 11:52 pm by Offkorn Comment

Detecting an abnormality in the past which threatens to cause the extinction of the human race, the Chaldea organization puts into motion a plan to send Master/Servant pairs through time to ensure humanity’s survival. However, after an act of sabotage only a single unprepared reserve recruit manages to make it through the process.

An adaption of the related game‘s prologue that starts out closer to a daily life comedy and later turns into an action-drama. Though for the most part unrelated beyond terminology, much of the movie takes place in an alternate version of Fate/Stay Night‘s setting (only the servants remain, some of whom have switched roles).

Kakyuusei (TV)

Posted on October 23, 2017 1:01 pm by Offkorn Comment

Late to school on the first day of the new year, Tsuyoshi Yamaguchi comes across a girl staring pensively up at a tree. Coincidentally, Tsuyoshi is one of the rare boys she can talk to and this event will prompt her to get closer to him.

A school life harem-ish romance with an outgoing protagonist, moderate amount of comedy, and high level of ecchi content which transforms into a dramatic love triangle toward the end. It’s an alternate version of an earlier OVA series, with no relation to the 1995 OVA series of the same name.

Kenka Banchou Otome -Girl Beats Boys-

Expected to fight his way to the top of his high school as part of a family tradition, Hikaru Onigashima has different ideas and decides to instead trade places with his twin sister. Now Hinako Nakayama must attend an all-boys school while fending off the constant challenges the name “Hikaru Onigashima” evokes.

The series is unconventional in two ways. The first is that it’s structured like a documentary of past events and has the characters re-telling the story from a future point in time, while the second is that parts of each episode are mixed into the OP sequence. Content-wise it balances brief action scenes, misunderstanding-based comedy, and harem-building.

GRANBLUE FANTASY: The Animation

Posted on August 3, 2017 6:26 am by Offkorn Comment

While attempting to escape from onboard an airship, Lyria and the former lieutenant Katalina end up separated in an explosion. Seeing the light from the ground, the adventurer Gran sets off to investigate and ends up having to protect Lyria from pursuing soldiers until Katalina can catch up. From there it’s not long before the three of them are bound together in an island-hopping journey spanning the world.

A high fantasy action-adventure series structured much like a JRPG game. Be aware that the show concludes in the 12th episode, with the 13th being something like an alternate universe bonus-OVA.

Alisha is a princess desperately trying to avoid war while searching for a ‘Shepard’ to save the land from an encroaching darkness. Sorey is the lone human in a village of seraphim, beings invisible to most humans, who loves exploring ancient ruins. A chance meeting between the two sets in motion events that just may change the world.

AKIBA’STRIP: THE ANIMATION

Killed while saving a mysterious red-haired girl from mysterious assailants, Tamotsu Denkigai is resurrected as a high-class ‘bugged one’; a being possessing superhuman abilities whose only weakness is having their clothes removed. No longer able to leave Akihabara, he must now fight against an opposing group of bugged ones that wish to take over the town.

An ecchi action comedy that focuses on different subcultures in each episode: Military otaku, audiophiles, eSports, and so forth. The one constant are the action scenes which always result in various amounts of torn, dissolved, or removed clothing.

Ao Oni ~The Animation~

Four students enter a deserted mansion and find themselves locked inside with a large blue monster.

An absurdist comedy that plays common horror tropes/situations for laughs. Each episode has a random theme and features either some or all of the students getting killed/eaten, then everything gets reset the next episode.
