Wat dis Animu 'bout?

[ClocktowerEchos]

After seeing @Pfroggy1 come up with the game What is this movie about, I've decided to try and make one for anime. Because I'm an uncreative fuck @_@ All credits go to him.

To paraphrase the rules Pfrog made:

The first person posts a anime, then the next person (without using firsthand knowledge or looking on the film Wikipedia page) makes up the film synopsis based on the title (probably best to use the English translated version of the title).

Example:

Person A: Sword Art Online

Person B: A young man discovers the beauty of using extremely sharp objects as paintbrushes with the help on some online courses.

Person B: <Insert anime name here>

Got that? Let's go then!

Log Horizon

Log Horizon is an anime about a space ship called the Horizon and its crew. Their story is told through the ship's log (thus the name "Log Horizon"). It's a miniseries about 15 episodes long in which we see the inevitable demise of the crew as they struggle against megacorporations, small dictatorships, space pirates, and weird cosmic lifeforms that infest derelict ships. They end up not dying to any of these evils but to starvation and the freezing cold of space after their ship runs out of fuel. The Captain kills his crewmates when everything looks hopeless, then gives himself the same merciful death.

The audience knows the fate of the crew - or has a hint about it - at the start of the series because someone boards the abandoned ship with desiccated skeletons inside and starts listening to the ship's log.
