Synopsis

High school student Haruno Shiozaki and her friends live in a remote mountain town where the only thing worth looking forward to is turning 16 years old—the legal age required to obtain a motorcycle license. However, when Haruno's family hires Cynthia B. Rogers to work at their inn during the peak season, excitement buzzes around the new visitor. As Haruno's friends are charmed by the foreigner's loud and brassy attitude, Haruno wonders whether people from a town as small as theirs are able to have dreams too.

"One Off" is a very simple story. It's all about overcoming the obstacle of negative thinking, things that you may think are impossible can actually be more easily attainable when you are working towards that goal and thinking positively. If anything, you will feel better.
Nothing good comes from negative thinking except for just that, more negative thinking.

This is your basic slice of life story with mopeds, motorcycles, the eagerness to travel, and Honda (yes, the vehicle company) as the main subjects. With one of the best directors when it comes to slice of life works, Junichi Sato.

It's not original, but does anyone really expect ...

In 2011, Subaru got legendary anime studio Gainax to create a web anime called Wish Upon The Pleiades, which turned out to be a nice little gem successful enough to warrant its own TV series. Honda, having seen this, must have wanted a piece of the pie, so they got famous director Junichi Sato to create a similar anime for them: One Off.

It would be remiss to say that One Off wasn't inspired by Wish Upon The Pleiades. Aside from borrowing the idea of "cute girls teach us about life to sell vehicles", one of the characters in One Off has almost identical glasses and ...

I love Junichi Sato. I really do, despite the fact that I've only been exposed to a few of his works, and Tamayura happens to be my favorite. However...I can't believe I watched this piece of trash! It's a good thing it's only four fifteen-minute long episodes like the original Tamayura OVAs were, and whaddaya know! This is supposed to be a car advertisement, like how Hokago no Pleiades is! Ugh, I can't believe I wasted my time on this dumb OVA. It's such a shame, as this could have been a lot better, and the issues it tackled could have been handled more appropriately. ...
