Nagi no Asukara |Main Thread|]Strange+ (TV)[/url]

Genres: comedy, mystery, slice of life
Themes: detectives, gangs
Plot Summary: Kou is searching for his older brother Takumi, who left home and has gone missing in the city. Worried that he's in trouble, Kou decides not to go home until he's found him, only to find him all too easily. Takumi, it turns out, has become head of the Mikuni Detective Agency, and has no intention of going back home. Kou decides that if he can't make Takumi return, then he'll join the agency himself.

Episode 1: way too short but anyways, it seems like we are introduced to the main characters. Not bad I suppose and I might get used to the OP song soon~

I fear maids now though after watching this.

Extremely disappointed by the duration of this anime.
I thought this was a regular 20+ minutes anime, but nope.
Characters look nice. The animation is good.
The story is fun, interesting & funny ^^
Oh, and it's definitely strange!
If you have spare time, go for it.

That was stupid... and pretty funny at the same time.

I really don't like these shorts. Pupa and now this too?
Sad

That being said, I don't know if I could have taken much more of that than the 3:30 it ran. A few good laughs, but it was mostly pretty dumb. I'll stick around just because I hate dropping shows, but other than the good animation, I didn't find it very appealing.

Episode 1

I have seen better and funnier shorts. Its staying power will most likely be entirely on whether it is not a pain to watch it in the small episode chunks.

Strange+ is strange. I don't quite know what to make of this one just yet. Seeing as it's a short, I'll probably end up sticking with it.

Season 2 began now and it didn't waste any time with the spoiler[references (Lelouch for instance) and breaking the fourth wall. Oh my.]

Not just that, but is also explained what the main plot was between the siblings. What madness is this?
