Ao no Exorcist: Kyoto Fujouou Hen

Posted on April 5, 2017 9:07 am by Offkorn Comment

A thief has stolen the Left Eye of the Impure King, a piece of a powerful demon that had been safely sealed away. Yukio and Shura are sent to investigate while Rin accompanies them due to not being able to leave Shura’s supervision.

A continuation of the 2011 Ao no Exorcist series that acts as though the Anime original content of episodes 18-25 never happened. Unlike there, here the protagonist is treated with suspicion and fear because of his powers. Note that the series’ 13th and 14th episodes are mostly self-contained stories and were released separately in OVA format.

Rewrite: 2nd Season

Posted on April 2, 2017 9:15 am by Offkorn Comment

Kotarou Tennouji wakes from a dream of past memories and climbs to the peak a flower-covered hill where a lone girl awaits. There he dies, only to awaken again the next night to repeat the journey.

This is two shows in one. The first part is less a continuation of the first season and more the framework in which the first season took place (almost nothing that occurred there matters here, but you have to watch that first if you want to know who the characters are). The second part is a complete reset that begins in the 4th episode; it has little comedy and can be watched without having seen anything else.

Tormented at night by a strange ribbon-wielding ghost, Kotarou Tennouji seeks out the president of the school’s supernatural research club for aid. He ends up joining the club along with several other students… each with their own hidden abilities.

The show starts out as a comedy, quickly introduces action and drama, and then fluctuates between the three in an almost episodic manner. While the genre shifts throughout, the theme permanently changes from school-life to ‘secret societies at war’ a little past the halfway point.

Youjo Senki: Saga of Tanya the Evil

Posted on April 1, 2017 3:32 pm by Offkorn Comment

After a sociopathic salaryman is pushed in front of an oncoming train, he finds himself being addressed by a being claiming to be God. Unwilling to believe the entity, and telling it such in great detail, he finds himself reincarnated as a young girl on a different world. A world at war where magic is real.

An action series set during a period of time greatly resembling the early 1900’s. Its two central conflicts are ’empire vs. the world’ and ‘protagonist vs. God’.

Sousei no Onmyouji

Posted on March 30, 2017 11:27 am by Offkorn Comment

Rokuro Enmadou and Benio Adashino are both exceptionally powerful exorcists with tragic pasts. Though Rokuro responded to the tragedy by swearing off exorcism, in Benio’s case it only motivated her to become more powerful. Now the two of them have been proclaimed the ‘Twin Star Exorcists’ and must work together to cleanse the world of evil spirits.

A battle shounen slightly darker than usual with a fairly even mix of comedy, drama, and action. The romance aspect, despite being introduced early, does not become a central focus until the 10th episode while the comedy eventually ends up taking a backseat to the action/drama.

Hand Shakers

Posted on March 29, 2017 3:05 pm by Offkorn Comment

Accidentally awakening a mysterious girl called Koyori, Tazuna Takatsuki finds himself suddenly thrust into the middle of a battle between super-powered couples called ‘hand shakers’. While most of these pairs fight for the opportunity to meet God and have their wish granted, Tazuna fights to keep Koyori from disappearing.

A battle royale action drama with an unconventional style of animation and noticeable ecchi streak.

A young girl finds herself alone in the middle of Japari Park, a theme park filled with animal girls, with no memories of her past. Setting out together with a serval catgirl she embarks on a journey to learn who she is, meeting many different friends along the way.

An educational trip through an abandoned wildlife preserve inspired by a smartphone game. While it has bits of comedy and finishes with a burst of action, the primary focus is on exploring the different areas while learning about new animal girls and helping them with their problems.

Gabriel DropOut

Posted on March 28, 2017 2:17 pm by Offkorn Comment

Graduating at the top of her class in heaven, the angel Gabriel descends to Earth to continue her education… only to become corrupted by MMOs and decide to stay on Earth to slack off forever.

A reaction and situational-based comedy that mostly plays off the contrast of having angels and devils behave the opposite of how you would expect them to.

Demi-chan wa Kataritai

Posted on March 27, 2017 5:04 am by Offkorn Comment

As a biology teacher, Tetsuo Takahashi has long wanted to interview demi-humans. Yet due to their rarity he never got the opportunity, until the start of this school year when the new math teacher turns out to be a succubus and a vampire, dullahan, and yuki-onna are included in the wave of new students.

While primarily a school-life comedy, the show also deals with more serious issues (such as ostracism for being different) and occasionally gets philosophical.
