Because he’s always up to something, whether it’s playing a game or building some mind-boggling creation on his desk. While their teacher is speaking! While Seki should be taking notes! And yet Yokoi is the only one who ever notices. She’s the only one who sees disaster looming as Seki’s nefarious plans slowly build to their evil fruition. And worst of all, while Seki always seems to get away with it, the constant distractions and paranoia that he’s inducing in Yokoi keep getting HER into trouble! It’s just not fair! But despite the consequences, Yokoi finds herself unable to look away. To ignore him. So with every class, the tension and torture begin again in TONARI NO SEKI-KUN!

But when Shiro relaxes his guard and Miyu starts normal school, the Ainsworth family and their agents swoop in, kidnapping the girl with the goal of sacrificing her! Faced with the realization that Miyu’s ability to do good will always be equaled by her capacity for destruction, Shiro must attempt to both rescue his adopted sister, and decide how to confront the threat that her powers will always pose.

SYNOPSIS: If there’s one thing that the long-running Fate/stay night franchise has always been noted for, it’s the creative freedom that allows every new installment to develop its own unique take on the overall concept and base set of continuing characters. However, no matter how diverse many of the previous installments have been, you’re almost certainly not going to be prepared for the non-stop surreal silliness and fever dream alternative concepts unleashed in this demented new OVA installment. From a surreal talk show where a berserker hostess puts her hapless assassin brother co-host through an increasingly grueling wringer, to spicy ramen endurance tests, magical girls gone wild and wholesale gender-swapping for no apparent reason, you’ve never seen anything like FATE/KALEID LINER PRISMAILLYA: PRISMAPHANTASM!

Ueno is a genius when it comes to understanding chemical reactions and building cutting edge technology, but whenever she tries to use her brilliance to dazzle the cute guy in her science club, the results are inevitably disastrous. But yet, no matter how wrong things go when Ueno tries to impress Tanaka with her ability to convert her own urine into drinking water or use anti-gravity to replace umbrellas, our heroine is determined to keep putting round pegs into square holes until she finds the one that opens the lock to his heart. The results are unpredictable, but usually catastrophic, as Ueno discovers that blinding him with science isn’t anywhere near as simple as she’d hoped in HOW CLUMSY YOU ARE, MISS UENO!
