Posted on December 27, 2016 1:22 am by Offkorn Comment

Kat and Raven are exploring new areas far from Hekseville after a gravity explosion, and find themselves being attacked by unusual numbers of Nevi.

This promotional Anime for the upcoming second Gravity Daze game is split into two parts, which are presented in non-linear order. The first half has the two protagonists fighting off a hoard of Nevi that attack a port city, while the second half shows the initial gravity explosion that launched them away from Hekseville.

The private investigators of the Armed Detective Agency handle cases the police and military cannot, thanks to the unique powers at their disposal. They’re not the only ones with supernatural powers though and often find themselves facing off against those who direct their abilities toward more nefarious ends.

An action-comedy featuring a mix of character deformation and reaction-based humor peppered with periodic bursts of drama and mystery. It starts off slightly episodic, with each episode being focused on either a single case or a particular part of an ongoing case, eventually becoming plot driven with a greater focus on drama.

SM Girls – Saber Marionette R

Posted on November 27, 2016 12:34 pm by Offkorn Comment

On a world with no women, populated by clones, androids called Marionettes have been created to both fill that absence and act as soldiers. One night a masked man launches a military coup in the country of Romana, forcing the ruler’s son to flee the capitol city with the help of his two attendant Marionettes. He’s soon joined by a third, and the new quartet must find a way to return to the city in time to save his father from execution.

This OVA series is mostly a dark action/drama lightened with occasional splashes of comedy. Aside from the ecchi aspects, what most stands out about it is the character naming style.

Ruda is the son of a Wind Master and lives in a small peaceful village. One night that peace is shattered as mechanized forces raze the town and trigger the awakening of a long-dormant power.

Set in a fantasy world featuring wind magic, gods, airships, and mechanized infantry, this movie (originally split into a pair of OVAs) goes in a number of different directions. It’s part RPG plotline, part military-themed actionfest, and part mysticism-heavy mystery.

Appleseed

Posted on November 26, 2016 2:28 pm by Offkorn Comment

The gleaming utopian city of Olympus has been built atop the ruins of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, offering the promise of a peaceful life in a war-torn world. However, one person’s utopia is another’s prison. The city has its fair share of terrorists looking to upset the status quo and, with the help of a disillusioned ESWAT officer, they’ve decided to set their sights on stealing the prototype for a new autonomous weapons platform.

This movie is the first of several Appleseed adaptations, and it unfolds the most like a police procedural/thriller. Rather than being completely focused on Deunan and Briarios it’s more about the setting as a whole, with Calon (the disillusioned officer) playing a large role.

Set in a world where humans are fighting a war against werewolves, this TV special tells the tale of how a soldier and young linguistics expert try to befriend a captured werewolf in order to break their language code.

Note that this arose from a ‘Create an Anime Scenario’ competition, so do not expect a complete story. It’s a mix of drama and battle shounen with a hint at the end of eventually becoming something altogether different.

Hachiman goes on a ‘date’ with Iroha to research date locations. Later on, Yukino and Yui go out with Hachiman to the same area.

This is a side-story for the parent series‘ second season. It’s primarily focused on reaction comedy though, so you may be able to watch it even if you haven’t seen that (to decide whether or not you want to).
