When your day begins with being held hostage in a hijacking, can things get much worse? How about being kicked out of your own body? Or learning that if you can't re-possess your physical shell, you'll trigger a panty-fueled apocalypse that will wipe out all life on the planet? For Yuta Iridatsu, it's just the start of the worst out-of-body experience ever. Now, if his dissed disembodied spirit doesn't pursue the persuasions of a porn-obsessed paranormal pussycat and purloin a missing mystical manual, a meteor will collide with Earth! And to stack the odds even further, the book is hidden somewhere in the boarding house Yuta shares with a bevy of beautiful babes, but if he gets an eyeful of his ravishing co-renters in their unmentionables before he's back in himself, it's flash-forward to Doomsday! Will the literal end of the world be wearing briefs, a bikini, or a thong? Find out when panties, possessions and extinction level events have the ultimate rear-end collision in PUNCH LINE!

You can call PUNCH LINE a lot of things, but it's certainly no joke.

For a series that technically starts with a bus hijacking, you could be forgiven from assuming from its first episode that *PUNCH LINE* is a fun, loose, *FLCL*-inspired romp about a teenage boy who gain…
Modestly ecchi, thankfully not detracting from its underlying charm. Not outstanding, but not a waste of time.
Punch Line is a modestly ecchi themed anime, that fortunately does not stick to it very strongly for the majority of the show. The introduction is understandably giddy and, luckily, tries not to take itself too seriously. Panties, nosebleeds, apocalypse, the trailer definitely does those justice, bu…
___Punch line___...where do I start off with this one?
(_The good, the bad, and the ecchi?_)
I like to look at anime in the best light as I highlight their did-well's, so as to not be overly moody, but I had to get this off my chest. Lets start off with a short summary of what the show's about. W…
Punchline is a ambitious and gorgeous anime that fails to tell a unique, plot-twisted time story due to poor writing.
The anime was a good watch, vibrant colours, nice animation, the style is refreshing and the opening song is SUPER catchy . It was not a bad anime but I would not say is a must watch.
A lot of things made absolutely no sense and I expected them to be explained in the end, which never happened and…
Has the punch of an action series but the cleverness of a gag series
I think that this series has a lot to love, from the fight choreography, animation and character desigs to the way the plot eventually develops into quite an engaging story. The story itself is not really that realistic, and that fact is one of its strengths, embracing the wacky and fantastical aspe…
Great animation, good ideas, but they don't blend or don't develop. A bloated mess that can be marginally enjoyable.
I think a good start is telling how I even became aware of this anime.
For those unaware, the writer of the anime was Kotaro Uchikoshi, who is probably best known for the Zero Escape Series (999, Virtue's Last Reward and Zero Time Dilemma), as well as AI: The Somnium Files and it's sequel, Nirvana…
