Haré+Guu DELUXE

Alternate titles: Furi Kuri

GAINAX's recipe for this schizophrenic 6-episode OVA series includes giant robots protruding from limbs, a melancholy protagonist, a rock soundtrack by the Pillows, an alien girl that wields a guitar and rides a Vespa, and a story to complement the madness. Add poking fun of the anime industry, Japan, and GAINAX itself, to taste.

Alternate titles: Heppoko Jikken Animation Excel Saga

F City, F Prefecture: the battleground where good and evil have finally chosen to decide once and for all who will rule the world…or at least that's the general idea! Neither side seems up for the task, as surviving the brutality of everyday life is enough of a chore. On the side of evil is the organization of Across, its only member the loudmouthed and abrasive Excel who struggles just to put food in her stomach; on the side of good, three disenfranchised, unemployed bachelors whose only pursuit in life is romance. Add in alien invasions, jungle warfare, and Mexican immigrant laborers to Japan, and this war doesn't seem likely to be ending soon!

Earth is in for a surprise when the vain Dejiko, innocent Puchiko and ball-shaped Gema-Gema crash their spaceship into it!

Watch Dejiko, Puchiko and the rest of the gang at Gamers as they try to keep a little sanity in this strange world!

At a typical elementary school in Japan, yearly chores are being distributed. Yuri and 3 other students are chosen to be the beneficiaries of the alien hats for the year. Alien hats?!

On a day like any other day, Cacao (a chocolate-loving student of magic) awoke to find himself next to a mysterious girl ... made of wood?! Named Hinano, the green-haired beauty wasted no time in professing her very one-sided love to Cacao, much to his dismay. Now, in this colorful world of magic and technology, Hinano must do everything in her power to to win Cacao's love, even when hindered by a variety of obstacles including martial arts twins, bizarre teachers, and suitors after her own heart!

In Gintoki's Japan, the arrival of the various space races known collectively as the Amanto ended the era of the samurai. The Amanto's highly advanced technology resulted in total conquest and a severe economic shift. Now, former samurai such as Gintoki scrape together whatever livelihood they can. Gintoki's profession of choice is that of a yorozuya: he'll complete any job for money. However, he’s unmotivated; and spending most of the day on the couch with the latest issue of Jump and a carton of Strawberry Milk is his preferred pastime. It turns out that his new unpaid employees, Shinpachi and Kagura, are going to interfere with his pastime even more than with his "work"! Of course, none of this means he has really given up on his samurai ideologies!
