The
Senko High Literature Club isn't quiet your normal club, secretly
they are people who are gifted with supernatural abilities. However,
instead than taking over the world (or saving it), they would rather
have fun with their 'powers'. Ando-kun is the only male member and
surrounded by 4 superpowered girls. And while his power is still in
question, he tends to turn everything into his personal fantasy
world, but soon he and the girls will discover there is much more to
their powers than they could realize in When Supernatural Battles
Became Commonplace: Complete Collection (2014).
There
is no question that Ando, Tomoyo, Hatoko, Chifuyu and Sayumi have
supernatural powers, but each day the girls must put up with Ando's
various 'club activities' and his various fantasies. Tomoyo has the
ability to manipulate time. Hatoko can control all the elements.
Chifuyu can create worlds/dimensions and bend space. Sayumi can
return anything to it's former state. Ando's power is a
mysterious/useless dark flame and while Ando acts foolish and acts
like a 'chuunibyou' (a person who lives in his own fantasy world and
pretends to be a hero/heroine), he probably cares most about the
girls and the care of their powers. And while the girls would never
admit it, they all care for Ando more than would ever admit. They
soon find out they aren't the only ones with power, can their
peaceful/fun days really last?
The
was a funny, comical, adventurous anime. It explores what would a
group of students do if they had 'powers'. While most of the time
they make silly/fun uses of their powers the series also questions
what happens if people abused their 'powers'.
The
1080p 1.78 X 1 digital High Definition image and DTS-HD Master Audio
(MA) Korean lossless 2.0 Stereo mix (with Pro Logic-like surrounds if
you want to try therm out) impresses through all the episodes,
presenting some really strong performance. Extras include clean
opening and closing animations and trailers.
