D&A’s Crunchyroll Spotlight: Magical Girl Ore!

Whew, today’s work day was a killer, but we’re glad to be alive to bring you another installment of our Crunchyroll Spotlight filler posts! If you’re a 90’s kid, then some time in your life you probably met a magical girl by the name of Sailor Moon, right? If the answer’s yes then you might be in for a surprise when it comes to a series like this. Tonight our Crunchyroll title is the magical girl comedy; Magical Girl Ore!

So here’s the deal; Saki Uno is an unpopular idol and high school student who discovers that her mother was once a “Magical Girl”, but passed on the tradition due to problems with her back. With some help from a Yazuka-like character named Kokoro, Saki can now transform into “Magical Girl Ore”, however there’s just one small problem; her magical girl form is that of a tall muscular man in a magical girl outfit. As if that wasn’t embarrassing enough; Saki has to fight cute-faced demons who threaten to kidnap her crush, Mohiro, who is now attracted to Saki’s “manly” form. Not only that but her idol partner, Sakuyo, is attracted to her normal female civilian form.

This series takes everything you know about the magical girl genre, and drops that baby on its head. Although being a magical girl is not all fun and games (in fact there’s a dark side to it), they mix in some comedic parts in the story that make it worth while to take a gander at. (Even if you’re not a fan of magical girl anime.) The dub for this series is not out yet, but you can stream the sub on Crunchyroll if you wanna check it out!

That’s it for now, but there’s more filler posts coming up! ๐Ÿ™‚

If you liked the anime title known as Gamers, then we’ve got another title that’s similar to it! New Game! is an anime series about a high school graduate named Aoda Suzukaze, who has become inspired by the character designs of a certain video game, and begins working as a character designer for the game’s developer; Eagle Jump. While designing characters for the games, Aoda comes to know her colleagues as well as the other staff members of the company. The series pretty much follows Aoda and her colleagues as they develop and work on various characters for various types of games.

You can watch the first and second seasons of New Game! on Crunchyroll and of course FunimationNow! We’ve got more awesome filler posts coming up next week, and also next week, we’re back on the road with a one-day anime convention; CHS Otaku Fest!

Keep making D&A a part of you, and we’ll keep making you a part of us! ๐Ÿ™‚

Overlord-Season-2-English-Dub-Announced-For-Anime-By-Funimation-Number-Of-Episodes-Confirmed-In-2018

Our Crunchyroll Spotlight title we’ve got for you is none other than a fantasy anime called Overlord! Basically the plot goes like this; a DMMORPG (Dive Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) called Yggdrasil was released in the year 2126. It is the most advanced DMMORPG of its kind due to the fact that it has heightened the interactive factor between the player, and the game. After a 12-year run the game servers are about to be shut down, as one of the members of the game’s strongest guilds; Ainz Ooal Gown, known by the character Momonga, continues to stay logged in until the day the game servers shut down for good. (Sadden by the fact that all of his friends have real lives and decided to quit the game.)

Upon the day of the shut-down Momonga discovers that the world of Yggdrasil, has been recreated as a reality of its own. All of its NPC’s have been brought to life as Momonga finds himself trapped in his character avatar. Since he can’t log out or do any other functions as a human being, Momonga sets off to find out if other players are trapped in this world along with him; taking on his former guild name.

So far there are currently two seasons of this anime title on Crunchyroll as well as FunimationNow. Although its under the fantasy genre, there’s a little bit of everything; except the ‘child-safety switch’. Should you get the chance you should check this anime title out if you’re a fan of MMORPG’s and fantasy. That’s all we’ve got for now but stick around, cuz’ there’s more posts coming up! ๐Ÿ˜‰

D&A’s Crunchyroll Spotlight: Darling in the FRANXX!

Hey there guys n’ gals! We’re back with another filler post that highlights new anime title releases from Crunchyroll, and boy do we have a good one. For those of you who are fans of both the Gundam and Evangelion series, this title may be right up your alley. For our Crunchyroll spotlight we’re highlighting the anime title, Darling in the FRANXX

b78ad8031a4b76a04e7762c550ac4140

Here’s the synopsis:

Taking place in a post-apocalyptic future where humanity becomes an endangered species by giant beasts called Klaxosaurs, the remaining members of the human race create a military city named Plantation, where children are partnered up in boy-girl pairs named Parasites and pilot giant mecha called Franxx (hence the name).

One of the boys, Hiro, is viewed as a prodigy, however after failing one of his tests, the emotional stress that befalls him, leaves him unable to pilot a Franxx. That is…until he meets an infamous human Franxx pilot with Klaxosaur blood named Zero Two, who is a member of an infamous race of humans with said blood. (Don’t forget about the red horns on her head.) After her last partner was killed in a Klaxosaur attack, Zero Two convinces Hiro to become her partner (darling).

The series itself (as A. Goldman would put it) kind of has that Evangelion-esque feel to it, mixed with some elements from the Gundam series. However the plot itself is totally different, as Zero Two’s character is a bit mysterious to say the least. If you’re looking for some new sci-fi/mecha anime to check out for 2018, then head on over to Crunchyroll’s streaming website and check out Darling in the FRANXX! ๐Ÿ™‚
